Saw the movie and wished he would have nailed the anti-American people he interviewed by asking:
Hispanic “You stole out land”: What did you do with the land we let you keep? In 1847 the land on each side of the border looked exactly the same. Today, our side is a generator of wealth while your side generates crime cartels and desperate people risking their lives to get out. (Maybe I read too much into the border fence scene where a road was on our side, but their side was still unimproved, but I thought it a subtle commentary.)
Black “You enslaved us”: In what battle did the blacks overthrow the whites and gain their freedom? It was other whites who said it was wrong and spilled their blood to end it. (He touched on this with the Union casualties, but I would have shown the actual daguerreotypes and not the “clean dead” re-enactors.
American Indian “You stole our land”: “Your race was a Stone Age culture and were ripe for exploitation by ANY technologically superior race. Which race would you have preferred to come here? (I have used this statement against all the whiners of this type: “You ought to get down on your knees and thank God the Americans screwed you over. At least you can make them feel guilty. Any other race or nationality would have kept their foot on your neck and given you the obama excuse: ‘We won. Deal with it.’ “)
I thought the smallpox-Black Plague was a good comeback on the “Genocide” B/S - Remember how skitzy the govt was about bringing back the moon rocks for fear of a pandemic?
I had to laugh at my wife, who was getting pist at the anti-American slant as Denish outlined the charges in the beginning (she calmed down later :-) ). I would have liked for him to point out that what he just outlined is taught at most colleges today - by people who have never been outside of academia and thus have no real world experience.
