A Powerful Movie

i have the right to say what I think, just like everyone here has and does.

also i never said they were dumb or stupid, i said anyone who votes for him are people who are not educating themselves about him and his policies.

it's funny you did not ask why someone has the right to call all republicans stupid.

I feel like I educate myself fairly well. It's the system not so much the candidates. They are just puppets for the monetary overlords.

No, no, you disagree. Therefor you obviously are uneducated about him.

wickabee, if you put as much time in your real posting as you do with your smart remarks, people may respond to you more often. but perhaps that is not your reasoning for posting, for you seem to think if no one deals with you, you won something, which nothing is farther from the truth.

and yes I think his statement was wrong, I don't believe in the whole conspiracy thing, monetary overlords, or the secret societies that "really" run everything.

Here's Boortz's review of the movie:

http://www.boortz.com/weblogs/nealz-...bamas-america/


Yesterday afternoon I finally found the time to head to a theatre to see 2016 – Obama’s America, a movie based on Dinesh D’Sousa’s book “The Roots of Obama’s Rage.”

In the book D’Sousa tried to determine just what was driving Dear Ruler’s rage (dare we say hatred?) against successful wealthy Nations and Americans? Why did he send the bust of Winston Churchill back to the British Embassy in Washington? Why did he break with many previous presidents and take the Argentinian side on the Falkans controversy? Why is the centerpiece of Obama’s reelection campaign his obsession on raising taxes on the rich, even when history clearly shows that raising taxes on the rich only serves to reduce revenues to the government?

To answer these questions D’Sousa traveled to Hawaii, to Indonesia, to Africa and around the Continental U.S. to interview the people who knew Barack Obama and people who have studied those who were close to Obama as he was growing up.

Now I tried to watch this movie with somewhat a different eye than most of the people in that theater. As hard as it is to do … I tried to watch it as an Obama supporter. I was looking for something that was clearly untrue or for logical lapses relating to Obama’s positions. (Yeah, like a liberal would recognize a logical lapse.) Not once did I think to myself “Oh now come on, Dinesh. That’s a little much.”

There were a few things in the movie that I had not realized … a few surprises for me.

---Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, truly seemed to despise the United States, so much so that she gravitated solely to men from the “third world.”

---Obama’s father was married at the time he met and married Ann Dunham. No judgment here – that might have been perfectly acceptable in his culture. Just didn’t know that.

---While living in Indonesia Obama’s mother sent him to Hawaii to live with his grandparents because she was concerned that Obama would be influenced by his step-father, Lolo Sotero’s, increasingly pro-American and pro-Western views and associations.

---It was Obama’s grandfather, from whom his mother apparently got her strident anti-American views, who introduced Obama to Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis, with the intent that Davis was to become Obama’s mentor.

---Obama’s private school in Hawaii, Punahou, was infused with an anti-colonialist fervor; an atmosphere of resentment toward the United States as having colonized Hawaii.

D’Sousa puts all of the information he gathers together and comes up with the conclusion that Obama’s driving philosophy is one of anti-colonialism. His mother, father, grandfather and mentor were all strident anti-colonialists. They all harbored the feeling that America’s wealth came from the exploitation of other nations and people. Obama now sees the opportunity to honor the legacy of his parents by righting that wrong and by destroying much of America’s ill-gotten wealth. This he is intent on doing through the destruction of our economy.

At the end of the movie the audience – as it had in other venues – burst into applause. I heard yells of “Romney – Ryan” and “Take back America.” Me? I was shaken. The documentary rang true. It answered question for me – and left me even more afraid for the future of my country than I am now.

Much to the dismay of the left, the movie has been very successful in limited engagements across the country; so much so that the movie will open in an much-expanded list of theaters over the weekend.

Now .. here’s the problem. The only people who will go see this movie are people who are already predisposed to vote for Romney. The vast majority of people who will vote for Obama are not voting for a particularly philosophy … they are voting for one simple reason: To get access to someone else’s wealth. They don’t care what Obama’s motives or reasons are. They care about one thing --- their checks – their money – their ObamaMoney.

Here is the best way to use this movie. Get a friend who doesn’t vote; a friend who basically shares your political philosophy, but who doesn’t plan to vote because they feel their vote won’t count anyway. Take that friend to the movie. Offer then dinner before or after .. but somehow get them to that movie. This movie is so powerful it will take those “my vote won’t count” people and change them into “By God I’m going to MAKE my vote count” people. That may save our Republic.

So people can take anti-obama propaganda movies as gospel but all of the anti bush movies are the work of leftist conspiracy nuts. Got ya.

I think I've won something? What do I think I've won? Am I so braindead I think this is a competition?
Please tell me as you obviously know my thoughts better than I.

One thing I do know, I'm not the one who said everyone who votes differently from me is uneducated. I would never say something so arrogant and, well, uneducated, because I know it would cause people to lose a lot of respect for me, as would my attacking someone who called me on it.

Of course, I'm just trying to win something, right?

[mrveggieman]

No but it's amazing who people who already have a hatred for our president will believe anything negative that is put out about him. Hell I can make a show full of lies about our president and make a boat load of money marketing it to you conservatives. Just ask Ruppert Murdock.

Still looking for Obama's lies and deceit?

Cut the deficit in half?

i have not seen this movie and honestly have no plans to. however, you can't really compare a movie by d-sousa and a movie by michael moore. The anti-bush movies were moore using creative editing to make it look like people said things they never said. So yes, that is the work of a leftist nut. that isn't about bush, that is about moore. having not seen this, i don't know if d'sousa uses the same techniques but if he does I will be the first to call foul.
In the anti-bush movies it was extremely easy to find cases to say "he never said that" "that is a lie by the film maker." Can we say that about this movie would be my question.
