Audio version: D'Souza's "America" is Vital Refreshment for Obama Besieged Nation
On Sunday afternoon, my husband and I finally set aside a little time to make a very rare visit to the movie theater to see Dinesh D’Souza’s, America: Imagine the World Without Her. I know many clear-minded people have already written glowing reviews, but there’s always room for one more big thumbs-up. A number of liberals have also written typically spiteful “reviews” in an effort to thwart attendance. But, as we fully understand, if liberals hate it, then we know it’s probably good, and this is certainly true with America.
From the movie’s website is this synopsis:
Someone once observed: "America is great because she is good; if she ever ceases to be good she will cease to be great." Today that notion of the essential goodness of America is under attack, replaced by another story in which theft and plunder are seen as the defining features of American history—from the theft of Native American and Mexican lands and the exploitation of African labor to a contemporary foreign policy said to be based on stealing oil and a capitalist system that robs people of their "fair share".
Our founding fathers warned us that, although the freedoms they gave us were hard fought, they could very easily be lost. America stands at a crossroads, and the way we understand our past will determine our future. America the movie takes 21st-century Americans into the future by first visiting our past.
