Turning My Black Family, Young and Old, from the Dark Side
Americanthinker.com ^ | 8-4-2016 | Lloyd Marcus

At birth, I was unusually small and had to be placed in an incubator. A nurse called me her little peanut. My family embraced her nickname for me. One of my nephews in Baltimore phoned his Uncle Peanut. He is black, 40-something, and a Christian. Years ago, he learned a highly in-demand trade which has earned him a very good living; owning a home and numerous big boy toys; motorcycles and cars. He is living the American Dream, right?

His purpose for calling was to get my take on the presidential election; Trump vs Hillary. I was stunned that he never heard of the Benghazi attack, nor Hillary's role in the deaths of four Americans.

He was also clueless about Hillary's email scandal. I felt a little anxious, pressured to dump as much info as possible into this low-info-voter in one phone call. I encouraged him to see the new D'Souza movie, Hillary's America.

My nephew's ignorance regarding Hillary is a perfect example of what we are up against, folks. Due to the mainstream media covering for her, I suspect millions have never heard of any of Hillary's lies and corruption.

Clearly, we all have our work cut out for us. Thanks for flagging the problem.

I wish somehow the movie could be shown on regular TV channels. Maybe in the paid advertisement areas.

The "news" media do more damage to the country by refusing to report on Democrat corruption and scandals than they do by making up lies about Republicans.

The Liberal monopoly on our broadcasting systems needs to be broken. They are a threat to our lives, and we should be attacking them with every legal means at our disposal.

We need to shatter their ability to manipulate elections.

John and I watched “HILLARY’S AMERICA”, D’Sousa’s movie, a
good while ago. - VERY enlightening!

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at the “40-something” LIV - it’s been hugely apparent that 20-somethings and 30-somethings are consumed with everything other than current affairs, choosing instead to blankly peer into their cellphones and mindlessly ingest the vapid idiocy emanating from them.

It isn’t just that they aren’t aware of the 40 years of deceit and corruption that Hillary represents - it’s that they are so utterly indifferent. That is what should give us pause. Most people - men especially - give more attention to what kind of shoes they but to what kind of president they elect.

Everyone flamed Trump when he said that he wanted to go back to the old libel laws but that is probably the only way to stop this.

A few days ago i saw where a FReeper suggested that Trump buy the rights to D'Souza's movie, then make it available to every American. It would be a win-win for Trump, D'Souza, and America. I wonder if Trump would do this if Americans who love our country put up a portion of that amount via donations? Anyone have any idea how much money we're talking about?

It could even be split up in small segments and pushed as ads on social media. And Trump could send out autographed copies of the movie as a donation incentive package, etc. Lots of opportunities there, but I have no idea how much money we're talking about. Who's in the entertainment business around here?

Trump gets flamed for everything he does and everything he doesn’t do.

Perhaps Trump could finance a TV showing on a MSM network during Prime Time.

A few years ago, I remember some group had a Gospel CD delivered to almost every home in America.

It can be done.

The media is our worst enemy. Until, or if - we can get rid of editorials masquerading as “newscasts” - we will always be at a great disadvantage.

You’d think that the film maker would release the rights at some point based on principle.

Sure, do what you can at the box office, get the costs covered and make a profit, but then let the thing go.

Not a total loss, because more people would watch it, and the film maker would get recognition, credibility, and more viewership for the next film.

“Perhaps Trump could finance a TV showing on a MSM network during Prime Time.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink...the people I know that are for Hillary are convinced that Trump is a dangerous orange baboon. They would not watch it. You might be able to make some commercials with some clips from the movie that will entice them to watch it in entirety - slipping the commercials in programs LIVs watch. Short enough that they don’t have time to change the channel....

Let’s face it - Hillary supporters and NeverTrumps are pure idiots - hard to crack them nuts!

Go see Hillary’s America, then see, as a black man, you’ll ever vote Democrat again. If you do, the the Bell Curve had it correct.

After de Souza makes his money back and a profit. Trump would be smart to do something like that. It has no value after the election.

Maybe the movie could be the October surprise.
Even handing out tickets in poorer communities would expose enough that the word would be passed.

Here is a video that over 800,000 have viewed. It too should make a difference with his followers

I'm thinking more along the lines of RICO prosecutions, EEOC lawsuits, Ruinous fines, Challenges to their Licenses, Heavy government insight into their finances, and pretty much any force which can be brought to bear on that nest of liberal snakes.

We need to quit being nice to them and start bloodying them up.
