Michael Moore offer Salvation to Democrats


Today, the controversial documentary director Michael Moore contributed an article on The Huffington Post called “Five Ways the Democrats Can Avoid a Catastrophe and Pull Off the Mother of All Upsets.” Of course the only audience that would actually read and enjoy this article are the left-winged liberals, but they are exactly whom he wrote this piece of journal for. His “memo” to President Obama and the Democratic Party leaders includes such recommendations as massive media campaign attacking Republicans, reminding voters that Republicans are source of all problems America is in; punishing all criminals “who caused the economic collapse and those who became war profiteers”; suspending all the home foreclosures by all banks; creating jobs by replicating the New Deal idea of government hiring; and urging Democrats to pledge to distance themselves from Wall Street and any corporations. Conservatives would grind their teeth reading that “it was the REPUBLICANS who concocted and led the unnecessary invasion of two countries, putting us in our longest war ever, wars that will eventually cost us over $3 trillion. Bush and Co. also caused the biggest collapse of our economy since the Great Depression”, and would call him a socialist for promoting the idea of creating another WPA work program. Besides, Democrats wouldn’t dare to promote anything associate with the word “budget deficit” at this time. However, his direct yet humorous approach to the crisis of the Democratic Party resonates the concerns of every Democrats and liberals in general. His radical ideas are what his audiences want to hear and hope to happen but know that it’s simply unrealistic at this time, if ever. It’s a wish list from one liberal to other liberals.
