Liberals are always portrayed with the complicity of the media as the compassionate vanguards of civil rights and for the preservation of the innocence of "the children".

Remember that movie "Roger and Me" by film-maker Michael Moore? I saw it when it came out in the theatres. I liked it then. It had a few liberal overtones, like anti-capitalism themes; but mainly I liked the "Pat Buchanan-America-First" docu-message. Michael Moore was an unknown back then.

Of course now we all know that Michael Moore is anything but "America-First". He is probably the most anti-Reagan, ultra-liberal, globalist-socialist in film making today.

Recently, and to the credit of the Bravo Cable Channel, Bravo has refused to air Moore's recent production of what Moore calls a "satire" of the Columbine School Massacre.

Comedy? Satire?

The four-minute segment, produced five months before the April 20 shooting in Colorado, was to run on Moore's Bravo series, ``The Awful Truth.''

Moore said his satire takes easy access to guns to its ``logical extreme,'' by arming children and teaching them to be better shots as part of the school curriculum.

``One of the main functions of satire is to confront the uncomfortable issues,'' he wrote. ``Satire is not supposed to be the kind of Comedy-Lite you can find on every other channel. Satire assumes the audience has a brain.''

Moore said he offered to add a statement to his report that said, in effect, that it took 25 years after the King and Kennedy assassinations to get the Brady gun control bill passed, yet legislation happened much more quickly after shootings in Colorado and Georgia.

Thank you, Bravo Channel for keeping this maniac's productions off the air.

Maybe somebody remembers that when shooting and gun safety was part and parcel of public education, there was never a single incident of school massacres like the one at Columbine.

That's more than 200 years of violence-free, school-sponsored gun involvement. Since the NRA's founding in the 1870's, millions have been educated on gun safety-- and hey, guess what? No massacres.

Well, golly gee whiz, how can that be?

Could it be, Michael Moore, that the most "logical extreme" of arming children and teaching them to be better shots as part of a school's curriculum is-- dare I say-- a less violent society?

The liberal skeptic demands to know how this can be? Simple. Believe it.

The answers are evident, empirically substantiated, and carry the weight of historical fact.
