“I saw it last Thursday and left depressed...depressed to think that voters in this country could be stupid enough to reelect an anti-American POS like Obama.”
When the British industrialist came over from England and set up the first commune in America (New Harmony, Indiana) in 1826 his ideas on alleviating poverty with Socialism were initially very popular for a couple of years. Once the America people understood his ideas he became unpopular very quickly.
Americans are eas to con if you package the idea in a shiny, new way. They only people who stayed with it (aka the Owenites) were described similarly to the hippies and OWSers of today.

In 1825, such an experiment was attempted under the direction of his disciple, Abram Combe, at Orbiston near Glasgow; and in the next year Owen himself began another at New Harmony, Indiana, U.S., sold to him by George Rapp. After a trial of about two years both failed completely. Neither of them was a pauper experiment; but it must be said that the members were of the most motley description, many worthy people of the highest aims being mixed with vagrants, adventurers, and crotchety, wrongheaded enthusiasts, or in the words of Owen’s son “a heterogeneous collection of radicals, enthusiastic devotees to principle, honest latitudinarians, and lazy theorists, with a sprinkling of unprincipled sharpers thrown in.”
The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.

D’Souza was the consumate gentleman. He could have touched on. Lot more sensitive issues and outright lies perpuated by the Obama administration. He explained the reasons for Obma’s political ideologies but I wish they would have dug into the Frank Marshall Davis a lot deeper. Much is still unknown as what propelled the Manchurian Candidate into power to destroy the U.S. I think his relationship with FMD would explain much if studied in depth.
