D'Souza's Death of a Nation has provoked prog critics' outrage: The Left Can't Handle the Truth
American Thinker ^ | 08/09/2018 | Patricia McCarthy

Posted on 08/09/2018 9:59:20 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Unsurprisingly, Dinesh D'Souza's film Death of a Nation has made the loud voices on the left stark raving mad.  A perfect example is the film review website Rotten Tomatoes.  The eleven critics gave the film a zero.  The voting audience gave it 90% approval.  The same is true at all the typically left-wing sites that review films.

The Hollywood Reporter reviewer, Frank Scheck, was apoplectic.  He does not bother to provide any countervailing facts.  He cannot.  D'Souza's history is accurate.  But reviewers like Scheck are so committed to the lies they have been taught in college, or maybe J-school, for forty years that they leap to histrionic attacks on the film before bothering to do any research.

The hysterical reaction to this film by the left is yet another sad commentary on the state of American education.  The film is thoughtful and balanced.  Unlike privileged film reviewers like Scheck, D'Souza, an immigrant from India, sees so clearly what is great about America.  He is grateful that it is his country now. 

Few if any American leftists ever express gratitude for being born in America.  They relentlessly complain and malign this country.  They have no appreciation, no gratitude for their good fortune to be American.  That's what they do.  That is who they are.

Numerous reviewers posted vitriolic comments and reviews before the film was even released.  They had not yet seen it but felt compelled to condemn it based solely on the fact that it was D'Souza's.  This is probably how most of these pseudo-journalists got through school.  They wrote papers on books they never read, on subjects they never bothered to investigate, and then they graduated with honors for toeing the party line.  For these people, ideology trumps everything, even the truth.

If they could, liberals would ban this movie.

Thank God for our freedom of speech, so that movies such as this can be made.

Yes that means we have to tolerate nonsense such as Farenheit 9/11 and Moore’s upcoming Farenheit 11/9 bashing Trump, but, if the left truly is tolerant, they need to be tolerant of Dinesh D’Souza.

Just wow. This movie is exposing the left as much as Trumps tweets do.

Go see this movie.

I did, I enjoyed it, and I learned a lot.

If the movie does well financially, he’ll be able to do one for President Trump’s 2020 reelection.

This is hardly a modern phenomenon. Gilbert and Sullivan wrote in "The Mikado" (1885):

Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone

All centuries but this, and every country but his own;

The scary part about this movie: it exposes the history of corruption in that party that might as well trace back to its very beginnings! Remember, one of the biggest scandals in American political history was a Democratic one: William Magear "Boss" Tweed's control of Tammany Hall from 1853 to 1871. You really wonder did Hillary Clinton get inspiration from what Tweed did.

Hillary DELETED the Truth!!

It is worth noting that Fakebook CENSORS any mention of a website, www.CodeIsFreeSpeech.com that provides FREE downloads of 3D-printable firearm blueprints. And, since Facebook logins are so prevalent for posting commentary across the Internet, they are very effectively suppressing this “Forbidden knowledge”. Please go to the website, download some or all 10 of the free blueprints, and then, repost it to your friends and across the Internet, to the extent you can. Strike a BLOW against Fakebook and judicial CENSORSHIP! Support TWO amendments at once, the First and the Second!

Saw “Death of a Nation” last Monday. The movie was great, we both agreed that D’Souza is a master explaining history in easy terms and that the truth must be hard for the Dems to swallow. There weren't many people in the theater as it was a 1:50 matinee. The few did enjoy the movie and stayed to the very end of the credits. I give it a 10/10 rating!

Walking out of the theater reminded me of leaving Donald J. Trump's campaign rally in Ocala, FL. in 2016. All were enthused.

Libs are unaccountable socialists.

They use the dialectic. Socialism demands struggle and change because you cant get socialist progress without it.

Its why they are pereptually unhappy and are against everything we do currently.

Understand socialism, you understand the libtard mindset.

D’Souza is one of the most intelligent people in the US. You know, the left under Obama tried to silence him. They even did that Nazi thing of imprisonment for almost nothing. He survived that emotionally because he knows who they are and how dangerous they are to this country. He is a modern day Jeremiah or Ezekiel and those who are smart will listen to what he has to say before the left tries to use Big Tech to shut him up.

I can hear the phrase as only G&S could have it sung.

Appreciation? They have no idea what it means and how lucky they are to be here. I Thank the Lord and the first of my line to come to America, back in February of 1659, from Holland, settled in Brooklyn and farmed!
