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: Sycophants of Bush Inc. Will hate this book.
Review: Unlike the petulant & maniacal musings of Coulter,Hannity,Savage,and O' Reilly. Mike uses real tangible facts to illustrate his points of contention.

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.

Summary: "Bowling to #1"
Review: Another wonderful depiction of what the establishment really is, not the evening news version. Moore is articulate with the blantent truth that stares all of us in the face; if you don't want to know the truth, don't read this book. "Bowling" wasn't fiction, it's just sad that some people can't see the sad sad truth in it. Lies don't make this world better.

Summary: The Book I've Been Waiting For
Review: This is the book I've been waiting for Michael Moore to write. It's much more serious than his previous work, and rightly so. The Patriot Act is a serious attack on our freedoms. The war with Iraq has seriously damaged our standing in the world and is costing a serious amount of life and money. Bush's tax cuts have done serious damage to the financial stability of our country. The first two chapters of the book read like a 50 page rant, with sources in the footnotes to back up each and every point. Moore starts out on the attack. "Why don't our elected officials talk about the links between Saudi Arabia and 9/11? Why doesn't the media look into the 20 year long business relationship between Bush Sr. and Bin Laden Sr? Why wasn't there more media coverage about Bush flying 20 of bin Laden's relatives out of the country in the days after 9/11 before the FBI had a chance to talk to them? Where is our "liberal" media when we need them? Imagine if Bill Clinton had a business relationship with Timmothy McVeigh's family and flew them out of the country after the Oklahoma City bombing! What would the conservatives have said about that?" For those who don't want to read a hard-core political book, Moore also provides plenty of his special brand of sarcasm. Except it's not as warm and fuzzy as it has been in the past. Mike is pissed, and he should be after discovering the facts he uncovers in this book. You'll be pissed after you read it too, and you'll be ready to join the campaign to get Bush out of office in 2004.

Summary: Just plain kooky
Review: Who are the people reading this and accepting Moore's "facts" without question? Moore's claims about 9/11 are just nuts, with no evidence to back them up - but that is pretty much what I have come to expect from this guy, who used to be amusing (Roger and Me). Now the guy is just a kook on the fringe.
