Summary: Hey Conservatives, try THE TRUTH for a change
Review: I just finished Moore's new book and I thought it was outstanding. I find it really amusing that you thick headed right wingers won't believe a word he writes, no matter how many facts he has behind him. It's also your conservative M.O. to judge or ban something without actually bothering to read it. We liberals are not "Un-American" as some brainwashed fool said on this review page, but exercising our rights to not be lied to and taken advantage of. Most importantly, not exploiting the lives of those lost on 9/11 for our own gain. It would be nice to see Dubya and his cronies taken from the White House in cuffs indeed, but I'll settle for just getting him out of office. You conservatives are so easily manipulated. Love God and don't take my gun away and you can do whatever you want to my rights. This country was founded on the basis of our own individual rights and the Bush administration is taking them away one by one under the guise of "national security." Then, you conservatives have the audacity to call us liberals Un-American! Attitudes like that are as far from democratic as they come. You conservatives need to open your eyes, close your Bibles, put down your guns and pay better attention because you are destroying our country (and others) and sucking away all of our rights as people. Get a Clue!

Summary: Moore is brilliant again
Review: I agree with those who say that anyone accusing Moore of not writing the facts is full of it. I have spent the past two months working on an anti-Bush book, and virtually everything I found confirms what Moore says in "Dude".There are very serious questions about what happened both before and after 9-11 that the Bush administration is refusing to answer. Frankly, I think that Moore does not go far enough in
indicting the Bush administration for their crimes. The entire Bush family is one virtual criminal enterprise, from Prescott to the present, and it is deeply disturbing that such people have their hands ILLEGALLY on the levers of power. Aside from being the truth, Moore as usual is very, very funny. There are some actual laugh-out-loud parts of the book. Best reason to buy the book: Moore is going to use all the money he gets from the Bush tax cut to work against Bush and the Republican party in 2004. So help make Mike rich!

Summary: Truth will prevail
Review: Once I started to honestly assess the state of leadership in this nation I became terrified in an Orwellian, Bradburyish, Huxleyesque kinda way. The one star reviews of much of the liberal books (thank God they can't be burned!) are clearly written in a reactionary mind-set by those who obviously haven't read the books. It's frightening just how thoroughly the insidious right-wing propoganda machine has infected the once intellectual atmosphere of American discourse. The worst part is, that it owns not just the major media outlets of this nation...but both major political parties as well. Thank you Mike for a well written, thoroughly researched, entertaining expose of the corruption that is destroying US. You and folks like Molly Ivins, Al Franken, and Bill Maher have given hope to disenfranchised millions. I am now a registered voter who is ready to take a stand against the corporate giants and special interest groups who are turning this nation into a monarchy.

Summary: Moore For President!
Review: I could not put this book down, and ended up going to bed two hours later than normal. I'm not a liberal, but I did like this book. It's not anti-american to question the Prez. He need's to be questioned as after all a President is a just public servant. That's why the Minute-men rejected King George. No man leads by a god-given right. Not even A pope. That's exactly how these neo-con's seem to operate. I agree with Moore. If this was 1776 they would be kissing the king of englands ass and would probably be calling any armed American farmer/frontiersman a terrorist. That is the crux of this finely researched book. To those of us in the middle of the road this is a volume of wisdom and truth. I read Al Franken's latest book and found it to be often at times silly. This Moore book is much better for the political enthusiast I think. (I read some of the Amazon.com reviews on Frankens book and was left with the impression some of his critical reviewers need to lighten up and de-caffinate. I could almost see them in my minds eye at the key-board with eye's bulging, frothing mouth spittle, and not being able to type fast enough to keep up with the venom of their thoughts. I understand from recent polls President Bush's supporters are mostly non-college educated white males. Not a surprise.)

Summary: A rallying cry
Review: No one can read this book and feel nothing. This is a book that demands the reader take action. Dude, Where's My Country is a book that pulls no punches and holds nothing sacred. Michael Moore isn't afraid to deal with the real issues and tell the sometimes painful facts. I recommend this book to everyone, I just wish it was a little longer. However, after reading it I feel a great need to volunteer or help with local elections and it's sad that things have gotten worse *since* he wrote it.
The facts are frightening, but he doesn't sugarcoat anything and never shies away from giving the full truth. It's an eye opener, because even though I've been following it all closely, he said things I didn't know at all.

Summary: Dude, Where's my facts
Review: I would give this book five stars if it were in the science fiction section. But Mr.Moore still has not learned to tell the truth since his early days of Roger and Me, thats all from this Neo-Con.

Summary: Dude, Where's My Brain?
Review: God bless him, Michael Moore's omnipresent baseball hat long ago squeezed out what little of any intellect was in his brain, and a few spent little synapses up there managed to fire enough to crank out this thing. "Now no one is safe" says his newest book! What a follow-up to his best-selling autobiography, "Stupid White Man" or whatever that was called. How excited I was to read this new book. I went straight for the chapter that went over the untruths in the movie "Bowling for Columbine" and how it actually may not have met the requirements for Oscar submission. But dang-it, I was disappointed to find that chapter cut from the final edition. I was also disappointed to see that the chapter on the guy trying to get Michael in an interview on film just like "Roger & Me", and how Michael just doesn't feel like answering to him in that situation because he's just too far above that sort of thing, plus how he can't handle actual criticism in general, etc. - well, that one was missing, too. Oh, well. But he can sure dish it out, by golly! If you love guys who can dish it, and love them even more when they can't take it right back, or use a single ounce of reasoning, or appreciate all that is good in America to give him the freedom to spew garbage 24/7, or all of the above, then Michael Moore is your man! A bonus: On the cover of this new book you can see Michael yank down a big statue just before it topples on top of him, along with all the lame thoughts of his book, thus burying him in a pile of his own filth. Keep up the great work, Michael, America loves you. This is another in a long line of masterpieces.

Summary: Another ANTI WAR Book! Quick, increase the threat color!
Review: Unlike most, make that all nightly news broadcasts, Michael Moore removes the blanket that has sheilded the American publics eyes concerning the so-called War in Iraq.
PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN......he's just the guy who gives this book a poor rating. They don't want everyday people to know the TRUTH. These are also the "patriotic" bigshots who have no shame in slapping that $2 U.S.A. sticker on the bumper of their Lexus truck. Great job fellows...that's really helping the cause!! THIS IS A GREAT BOOK! Read it for yourself. It will change your life.
