First They Ignored Us, Then They Called Us Names,

Now We're The #2 Political Documentary Of All Time;My Response To My Movie 2016 Being Labeled "Racist"

My new film, "2016 Obama's America," has been in theaters for a little over seven weeks and is no longer going unnoticed. Those who make their living reviewing films are coming out in droves on both sides of the opinion spectrum and those reviewers who find the film entertaining, educational and even inspiring are not only right but now once again in the minority. Ardent partisans who somehow missed their calling as spokespersons for liberal politicians and ended up as film reviewers instead, are wont to find any film that doesn't tow the liberal line to be lacking in content, intellectual capacity or definitive reasoning. Of course we can all agree on our right to disagree with one another, but where it goes off the mark is when one side tries to defend its positions by issuing ridiculous statements, misstating facts, engaging in name calling and branding the messengers as liars and prevaricators. And when they really get their shorts all bound up in a tight wad and are obviously losing the information battle, they resort to calling the filmmakers racists and bigots and even crossing the line of rhetorical decency by likening the work to that of the Nazis.

It deeply offends me to read reviews labeling me and my fellow filmmakers as racists or bigots or comparing us to Nazis. Their obvious hatred and bias seemingly overwhelms their ability to write a negative review without resorting to the lowest of degrading observations. It raises the question "why are some on the left of the political spectrum so indoctrinated by their masters that they lose all sense of decency and/or intelligent reasoning?" This is such a loss for journalism. An example of this is the recent article in Entertainment Weekly that informed its readers that our film "2016: Obama's America is "fundamentally racist." Really? And this editorial judgment is made by whom? It really speaks highly as to the quality of people making decisions that affect all of us, doesn't it?

To paraphrase a historical figure whom I do respect, Gandhi, first they ignored us, then they called us names and now we’re winning at the box office because the truth always wins out.

For those so inclined and without the intellect to debate the issues as reasonable citizens, I can say only 'sorry, you lose and bring such disgrace to your profession.' There are those of us only concerned about truth and the future of our country. Maybe, just maybe, one of these days their enlightenment will include a dose of anger management and a sprinkling of historical reality. We can surely hope so.

Whenever anyone calls me racist, bigot, etc. my default response is, "I know you are but what am I"? As i've said on a few other threads, meethinks liberals protest too much. In the overwhelming majority of cases, beneath their thin skins are some of the disgusting bigots I've had the DIS pleasure of knowing.

I went to see the movie with several of my friends last night. This movie answers a lot of questions I had about Dear Leader.

I saw the movie 2016 on Monday, interesting and scary perspective.

The events of 9/11/12 enabling by Obama, the apology from Cairo, and response to outcome including deaths in Libya of 4 Americans including Ambassador (an act of war)-— it all fits with the context of Obamas desire to destroy America as a post-colonial power, and to destroy vestigases of colonialism, advance aislamists, and layered in with a chunk of plain old Marxist Leninist Communism to level the world and take from the rich arrogant Americans.

Obama wants to crush us.

We saw it, too. Gerald Molen and Dneesh D’Sousa did us a tremendous service. Let’s hope enough people realize it.

One of the lefts favorite observations these days is seeing “old white men” doing this or that, and in saying so its supposed to render whatever those "old white men" are doing inferior, suspect and out of touch with the modern world.

But in doing so, who really is acting in a racist and sexist way?

Could it be those that make everything about race and sex?

The left will have you believe that all you need to know is that they're white and male. They throw in old for good measure...

What happened to judging people based on their character and actions?

Their hypocrisy and arrogance is astounding and no one calls them on it.

I saw the film last week. Although I think that D’Sousa goes too easy on Obama (gives him the benefit of the doubt too much) I think that it is a good film, overall. The ticket taker said that it was the most poplular film at the theater where I saw it over the past week.
