New Michael Moore Documentary Coming in October

Michael Moore's latest documentary may not have a title yet, but it finally has a release date. The public will be able to see the film, which will explore the global economic crisis, on Oct. 2, almost exactly a year after the U.S. Senate approved a Wall Street bailout of $700 billion.

The film, billed as a sequel to 2004's Bush-bashing Fahrenheit 9/11, was first announced at last year's Cannes Film Festival, although Moore wasn't yet sure of his topic. But it didn't take long for inspiration to hit.

"The wealthy, at some point, decided they didn't have enough wealth," Moore said in a statement recently, according to Variety. "They wanted more--a lot more. So they systematically set about to fleece the American people out of their hard-earned money. Now, why would they do this? That is what I seek to discover in this movie."

The filmmaker teamed up with Overture Films (the CEO and chief operating officer of which both used to be with MGM/United Artists and worked with Moore on 2002's Bowling for Columbine) and Paramount Vantage to help bring his latest critique of conservatism to fruition.

Forget, please, "conservatism." It has been, operationally, de facto, Godless and therefore irrelevant. Secular conservatism will not defeat secular liberalism because to God both are two atheistic peas-in-a-pod and thus predestined to failure. As Stonewall Jackson's Chief of Staff R.L. Dabney said of such a humanistic belief more than 100 years ago:

"[Secular conservatism] is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today .one of the accepted principles of conservatism; it is now conservative only in affecting to resist the next innovation, which will tomorrow be forced upon its timidity and will be succeeded by some third revolution; to be denounced and then adopted in its turn. American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. This pretended salt bath utterly lost its savor: wherewith shall it be salted? Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious for the sake of the truth."

Our country is collapsing because we have turned our back on God (Psalm 9:17) and refused to kiss His Son (Psalm 2).

PS – And “Mr. Worldly Wiseman” Rush Limbaugh never made a bigger ass of himself than at CPAC where he told that blasphemous “joke” about himself and God.
