What they fail to realize is that most on the right of center don't feel that way at all.

Your opinion is that the invasion of Iraq in March, 2003, was "absolutely necessary"? The <a href="http://www.house.gov/skelton/pr031029attachment.htm">hometowns</a> that the nearly 1200 dead American troops
come from belies the accuracy of the reference in the quote below.
Why are you linking Moore to some racial reference? Moore is obviously
projecting the message that the agenda of the wealthy, powerful, and
opportunity rich class in this country includes a state of perpetual fear
driven warfare that disproportionally recruits the poor, disadvantaged youth, who grow up in areas of the country where job opportunities, other than in the military, have vanished, largely as a result of the investment and political decisions of the ruling class. Moore protests the corrupt, unpatriotic, exploitive nature of the ruling class. They order our troops into harms way to achieve goals that, they themselves would never risk their own lives or those of their own children to achieve. Are you more angry about Moore's message, or his success in projecting it? Did you watch Farenheit 9/11?
If you disagree, tell me where you think I have misinterpreted Moore's
message.

Narrator: Would he? I've always been amazed that the very people forced to live in the worst parts of town, go to the worst schools, and who have it the hardest are always the first to step up, to defend us. They serve so that we don't have to. They offer to give up their lives so that we can be free. It is remarkably their gift to us. And all they ask for in return is that we never send them into harm's way unless it is absolutely necessary. Will they ever trust us again? <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361596/quotes">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361596/quotes</a>
