i agree with Feder. i'm sick of the film apparatchik's bashing/portrayal of Christians. thus i will not be seeing this film & will discourage any who wish to do so. this board's positive gleanings are almost word for word with
a Jefferson quote: "when the gov.t fears the people there is liberty. when the people fear the gov.t there is tyranny." against which gun grabber Rep. henry waxman is contrasted: "If someone is so fearful that they are going to start using their weapons to protect their rights, it makes me very nervous that these people have weapons at all."

the libs need to learn about the consequences of reciprocity. what they sow they'll reap. they need to be careful what they wish for. they just might get it.

so i'll add the next thesis/antithesis from the book of Romans, New Testament: " For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil." Romans 13. NKJV

I disagree. If you can look past the superficial attacks of the film (which is difficult at first), the underlying truth of the movie is something that all party members, be they Democrat or Republican, need to be reminded of. Government is not always our friend and a healthy distrust of the government needs to be reborn no matter who is in charge.

Unfortunately for many posters here (and people in general) their distrust of the government depends on which party is in control

So, who do you stand with: Jefferson or Waxman?
