A ding-dong isn’t just Michael Moore’s favorite food - it’s also an apt description of his intelligence level.
The leftist documentarian is concerned - terrified, even - that by deporting illegal aliens who've come to the United States in open violation of our immigration laws, we may’ve booted the only person in the world capable of curing cancer or keeping the planet from getting destroyed by an asteroid.
No, seriously.
"Who's really being removed by ICE tonight?" Moore asked in a rambling blog post this week. "The child who would've discovered the cure for cancer in 2046? The 9th grade nerd who would’ve stopped that asteroid that’s gonna hit us in 2032? Do we care?”
I suppose Moore missed the memo that we’re currently deporting criminal aliens convicted of things like rape, murder, drug trafficking, and theft - unless, of course, he thinks child molesters might also be closet geniuses with the gray matter necessary to become pathologists.
"Tonight, ICE agents all across America are banging down doors to remove the dangerous ‘illegals.’ But one of them might’ve been the guy who tomorrow was going to help rebuild a children’s playground across town — but he is now in shackles on a military cargo plane on its way to Guatemala," he fretted.
Well, if he's in shackles on a military plane getting shipped back to Guatemala, I'm guessing he wasn't the kind of dude you wanted around a children's playground.
In typical, hyperbolic fashion, Moore continued, "If you hadn’t smashed her guitar and thrown her in the back of your government van, she was the one who might’ve gone on to write the sequel to the beautiful and haunting song, ‘Hallelujah,'"
Which we need like a hole in the head.

Moore then pointed to Steve Jobs, whose father was a migrant from Syria who immigrated to the United States before Jobs was born, as an example of how immigrant children can bring just the stroke of brilliance our society needs. (It's worth noting, while we're discussing it, that Steve Jobs’ father was also born into a wealthy family, was highly educated including having earned a Ph.D in political science, and legally migrated to the United States, but also that he wasn’t even instrumental in Jobs’ upbringing, considering Steve was adopted as an infant by a midwestern car salesman and his wife. So his biological father’s migratory status amounts to less than a hill of beans.)
"When I go to bed tonight, as I lay my head down to fall asleep, I will try not to think about the potential millions suffering from cancer some 30 years from now who might’ve lived had this little girl not been seen as a threat to our national security," Moore ranted.
To which I'd suggest that if he's going to lay in bed staring at the ceiling and thinking of anything, it should probably be how to avoid dying from Type 2 diabetes.
And while I don’t think any of us are arguing that the children of illegal aliens are inherently less intelligent for their parents’ immigration status, it’s awfully elitist - nationalist, even - of Moore to suggest that only children raised in the United States can spearhead medical advancements or work in astrophysics. Though, of course, we'd be more than happy to take them back, if and when they come in the legal way.
But if this overweight buffoon is an example of the kind of leftist idiocy we can expect more of down the pipe, you can bring on that asteroid now.
