No, I’m saying that it’s a good thing we have the U.S. Constitution. This document, which I believe was written with God’s help and guidance, is our protection against any form of tyranny.First of all, millions of individuals who believe in individual sovereignty and support Constitutional principles loosely support something called a “Tea Party”. There is no leader per se. Some individuals use incendiary speech, which reflects not a whit on anyone else.
I must say at this point that I believe the survival of America as a free nation is not certain. Obama is issuing decrees like a dictator. Government is spending money now that our great-great grandchildren can never hope to repay. Our nation’s unfunded liabilities total something near or above $100T, growing every year. There is no way to wrap these facts with a pretty bow. Rob
P.S. Cat, you aren’t saying that it is a GOOD thing that all these agencies have their own SWAT teams, since this ensures that the U.S government will never be overthrown, are you?
If our nation falls, the Constitution is the record for history that we were on the right road, and that even the best intentions will not come to pass when people stop calling upon the Name of the Lord God.

You are right, Cat. It is discouraging to know that there are only a few dozen Republicans and no Democrats in Congress who believe in the small government of necessity authorized by the Constitution. Is it any wonder that we are suffering a recession without end and near collapse of the nation? Rob
P.S. My wife is taking my granddaughter to see America this week, although I told her that she may not understand it at age 8. Here’s hoping she does.

It seems that the critics make some rather rude comments.
This is why I no longer use Rotten Tomatoes and use IMDB now.
Listen to the peoples opinion not the elite.

I didn’t know IMDB did movie reviews. I will have to use them then.
I have been using IMDB for years for research on stars and casting.
Good to know. Thanks.

Of course they make rude comments. This movie opposes nearly everything that the establishment of the entertainment industry promotes!
Don’t be discouraged about this. Although a lot of the big stars (A list) are very liberal, I believe this is because they have no idea just how rich they are (some of these actors receive a salary of 20 million dollars just walking onto the set, and some of the TV stars are receiving a salary of a million dollars per episode–amazing. I’m paid $60,000/year for 8 hours a day of working with dangerous blood and body parts in the hospital lab).
Since they don’t realize how rich they are, they don’t realize how much of their income goes to taxes. When you make a hundred million or more a year, and lose half of it to taxes, you still have fifty million left–not bad!
And many of them have learned how to shelter their income so they pay little or no taxes to the United States.
HOWEVER…there are plenty of entertainment industry professionals, including working actors, who do not earn incomes like this. My daughter the stage manager earns just a little bit more than I do, and she works 18 hours days 6 days a week. She is quite conservative in her political views and would agree with everything in D’Souza’s film. I think that other entertainment professionals who actually pay half their income to taxes are conservative, too, and are probably rooting for D’Souza.
But these conservatives are not the Entertainment Industry Establishment!
And they don’t write the reviews.

While I haven’t seen the movie yet (I’ll have to wait for it to come out on DVD) nor am I a conservative I totally understand what you mean.

You probably won’t have to wait too much longer maybe by the end of august. Definitely worth seeing. I am going to rent it for my son and daughter-in -law when it comes out. They don’t vote but they both feel Obama is ruining our country.Thanks for the insight

If they don’t vote how can they criticize? Remind them of that.

I have many times! Unfortunately her parents voted for Obama twice. They didn’t think he did a bad job the first term. I tried telling them we really needed their votes. Hope they will watch this movie.

New Difficulties with Google and YouTube
It sure is discouraging when there are elements in our society who want to squash free speech. Both Costco and Google tried to bury his book. Shame on them.

Costco has a facebook page. If you belong to facebook you can go there and read the comments plus leave your own. Costco’s owner is a huge Obama supporter and has given him a lot of money.My husband and Ihave been big supporters of Costco for years,we spend a fair amount of $$$ there,frequently.However,since this iinciden with Dineash’s book,I am rather turned off and even though they corrected the matter,this whole thing left a bitter taste in my mouth

"Dinesh D’Souza explains the ‘moral disgrace’ of the American left "
“There is a romance for guerrilla terrorism on the left,” D’Souza said. “It is seen as excessive passion for social justice that these guys put themselves on the line. I call it the ‘Che Guevara phenomenon.’ Che Guevara was a bloodthirsty revolutionary. He took pleasure in shooting people… [Yet] this guy is on people’s t-shirts.”
“This is the moral disgrace of the American left, and it’s pervasive in the culture,” he continued. “And that’s how people like Bill Ayers can make that smooth transition from being a terrorist to being essentially a leading academic figure.”

Dinesh was on Beck this morning, and he explained that Republicans talk freedom, and Democrats trump them with “social jusice” rants, which of course appeals to the human sin of envy. I wish I could have heard the entire hour interview. What I heard was fascinating. Rob
