Analysis of Stupid White MenAnalysis of Stupid White MenI found Stupid White Men, a book written by Michael Moore, very interesting and funny. The humor in this book is displayed in a dark manor, in which he portrays Bush’s administration by highlighting their faulty decisions. Moore makes you want to read on, having every page filled with mind blowing facts about our president George W. Bush and the “stupid white men” behind him. Although Moore is white, he explains that “every bit of pain and suffering in my life has had a Caucasian face to it” (Moore 59).
Moore states in his book that the United States is the country the whole world loves to hate. I agree with Moore’s statement. Moore provides us with examples of why other countries, their governmental powers, and even the people within their countries have such a strong loathing towards the United States of America. We take the power and government of other countries into the hands of our own leadership, subjecting them to beliefs that were born on our soil and not theirs. Moore allows one to believe by reading his book and using his examples that the regimes and people’s of other countries are laughing at us and our ability to believe we are superior. Bush has the tendency to make Americans look like fools in the eyes of others. We are almost playing the bully role to the other countries, and I absolutely stick with Moore when he brings up points on this idea.
The argument I have developed for the position of the U.S. that “America is above all superior” is based on the view that, as the former Prime Minister of Great Britain, Thomas Jefferson taught,
“God has an authority over every thing that has a right and ought to be exercised; and every thing is right that is right in his authority, but any thing that is wrong ought against him (God, the Judge, or the Spirit), not to be denied.”
Thomas Jefferson
The claim that I find compelling in my argument that the United States should be held above even “all that is right” is completely erroneous. It also doesn’t hold water. It simply doesn’t hold water.
1. The “Christian” movement is based on the idea that, as the apostle John argued in the beginning of his 1st century works The Holy Spirit “makes all things equal, in a just and equal way.” . John, however, wrote on the same topic (1 Pet. 1:26, 27):
“If those who hold to this doctrine should ever be able to justify their claim they shall not come to the first judgment in the whole of the law, but must seek to defend that which is right unto themselves at the beginning of that judgment, because the Holy Spirit is giving them his power to do so; yet he, as some say, is of God, because of that which is right unto them.” ~ John, “Letter to Timothy”
Why should the United States hold itself above even “all that is right”? What in the Bible is all right and what in the Bible is all wrong because of these premises and arguments?
How can one even consider whether what is right is good? . . How can one truly judge that which is right? . . How can one truly judge other people’s actions and their opinions? . . How can one really know in an unbiased manner when to trust them? What is right should be made, which is not necessarily what it is, when we make decisions that are contrary to those same ones or things which should be decided differently? . . . I believe that the great American nation has always been a very different society and we are living in a country that is no more what we were in the past. We don’t look back on it as a past occasion, we look forward to it and we enjoy it.
The one point that makes my case to you, whether there is a god or not, is that, while God says that the Bible is the Word of God, it cannot and should not be attributed to Him. No one claims that He can’t do what Jesus did. When we look at Him, they cannot and should not attribute it to Him because He cannot. Jesus says that God cannot do what our Lord did, but rather that we should have good fortune (Acts 5:29-31). We do not believe in God but do believe in sin. The Church does not deny sin but still denies Jesus.
This argument has never taken hold in the U.S., and it certainly wont hold in any of the major Christian countries. I know I have not the opportunity to refute the above arguments in my blog post, I am simply sharing their arguments with others to draw their own conclusions.
Sincerely,

In the first opening chapter Moore describes in great detail how Bush and his surrounding “stupid white men” skewed the voting in Florida. On the day of elections “…31 percent of all black men in Florida are prohibited from voting because they have a felony on their record. Harris and Bush knew that removing the names of ex-felons from the voter rolls would keep thousands of black citizens out of the voting booth” (4). He later goes on to state that “90 percent of those who were allowed to vote” couldn’t because of this statistic (4). It is my belief that this is true, and I am glad to find when reading this book that Moore has very meticulously stated how Bush committed a “mass fraud” (4). I am intrigued by the way Moore describes these frauds and how he places blame on “…Florida, Bush, Harris, and company…” (4.) I think Moore depicts this scenario very well and makes most Americans who tended to believe that the way the vote turned out in Florida was legitimate, is in reality actually fraudulent and self-destructive to the workings of our government
