Consider it your civic duty to see this film as soon as possible. Check out where it’s playing, note the times, buy a ticket, go see it.
Being in the theater today was like suddenly discovering that there is a serial killer with a gun in the bedroom, and he’s just about to discover his next victim. D’Souza’s film made my blood run cold.
It became all too clear that Obama’s inner compass entails not only downsizing American, but doing it irrevocably.
D’Souza’s thesis is that only Obama’s deeply engrained anti-colonial hatred can explain the wide ranging and otherwise perplexing choices that he has made for America:
sending back to England their gift of the Winston Churchill bust
siding with Argentina in her dispute with England over the Falkland Islands
stopping the Keystone pipeline
stopping Gulf of Mexico drilling, while encouraging other countries to drill there
giving billions of dollars to Brazil so that they can drill oil off Brazil’s coast
a long assortment of anti-Israel actions and statements
authorizing military action in Libya, while denying same to help Syria
encouraging overthrow of Mubarak in Egypt, and being pleased about the takeover there by the Muslim Brotherhood jihadists
defunding NASA and turning it into a Muslim outreach agency
etc.

etc.
In the end it comes down to the question: what will Obama do in his second term, when (as he said off mic to the Russian ambassador) he’ll have more flexibility?
How can he remove America from its perch as the world’s number one super-power: by unilaterally dismantling America’s nuclear warheads (which he has substantially started in his first term), while simultaneously encouraging Iran, et. al., to develop their own nuclear weapons.
How can he remove America from its perch as world economic leader: just increase the Debt enough, and America will fall on its own. DEBT is his secret weapon to deal the desired death blow to America’s prosperity — to cut her down to size, and to render her an equal, impotent member of the world community.
Such is an outcome one would advocate for if one believed that America’s greatness was the result of pilfering resources from other countries for centuries (i.e., that America profited from its colonialist ventures), combined with the belief that we didn’t actually “build this” country.
So few Americans seem to grasp what’s happening that there’s practically no opposition to Obama’s plan. Don’t count on the Republicans to articulate the issue, even now that Dinesh D’Souza’s film is playing in hundreds of theaters around the country. The silence is deafening.
Maybe if enough of us see the film, it might make a dent. Regardless, go see it immediately! At least you’ll know.
Pros well paced, riviting, sobering
Yes, I recommend this movie.
