America: Imagine the World Without Her (2014)

We live in a time when the media, Hollywood, and the East Coast, West Coast states and urban populations are oriented to believe the false propaganda that Republicans and Tea Party advocates are racists, dominated by selfish wealthy donors who care only about preserving their wealth from taxation or regulation. The value of this film is that it presents the truth that those labels are applicable to the Democratic Party as much or more than the Republican Party. Although the film is biased, it is historical fact. Americans need to see this to understand that party labels are not reliable to understand history or politics. We need to be critical and skeptical to look beyond the labels and question propaganda from the media and the politicians. In a democracy, the voters need to spend the time and the effort to protect our freedoms and our nation. It is not easy.Dinesh D'Souza, a person of color born and raised in a foreign culture plagued by class and religious hatreds, recognizes the unique and precious qualities of the U.S.A., a culture that has had greater success than any other in the world to offer prosperity, justice, and individual freedom. He is sounding the alarm that the Obama years have shifted our patriotic self-respect into self-doubt or even contempt. To consider our culture and form of government better than any other, has become politically incorrect. We are now in a partisan civil war inflamed into uncompromising political divisions between political parties, the secular versus the religious, the African Americans vs. the whites, the Hispanics vs. the government, and the highly educated seeking to turn the nation into an expertly ordered socialized state versus the old fashioned, mid-American patriots who salute the flag and want minimal government.Everyone should see this film.

Crap likes this just makes us dumber (while putting money in the pocket of the jetsetters who live off our money and pretend they are on our side). I wonder if there is an effort by the enemies of the West to release crap like this so people are tricked and become hateful and the country is divided.This film was just in-your-face insulting rubbish.

then I am Peter Pan and my wife is a leggy supermodel and Donald Trump is a leader and he cares for the poor and there is such a thing as clean coal and Trump is draining the swamp by hiring all the standard insiders, generals, CEO and millionaires to his staff and cabinet and his wife didn't do softcore porn when she came here and worked as an illegal alien and those Made In China tags on his merchandise are just jokes like a gag and he actually manufactures them here and right-wingers believe in freedom of speech and government staying out of people's business except when a football player wants to speak his mind etc etc etc.Conservatives and just that. Cons.PS: Dinesh and his buddies think NRA money is more important than American lives. Killing schoolchildren is not a problem.

I never knew this movie existed till it popped up on AmazonPrime. After watching it, I was blown away that it had such a low rating from IMDb. Consequently, I decided to throw in my 2 cents. The Movie: This movie was created to show the significant role America has played in the history of the world and to address some of the modern-day criticism of our country. D'Souza addresses them chronologically, starting with Christopher Columbus, and lays out the counter-arguments in 20 minute or so blocks of time for each selected argument. Its mix of dramatic and documentary-type filmography was both different and entertaining for me.Accuracy: I've looked up some specifics from the movie that I found particularly interesting, such as the magnitude illness affected the Native Americans (including the origins of the comparative Bubonic plague), number of indentured Irish servants who worked alongside the slaves, and some of the more autobiographic moments depicted. All of them seem to stack up to my findings. Political Slant: Although the movie had a conservative perspective, there was nothing in the movie that I considered slanderous. Most of the political referenced made by D'Souza were supported through the video footage from TV or other various forms of media he provided. A viewer might not like what the film says, but nobody on any website that I've seen has garnered a solid, factual argument against his points. Overall: I am politically disenfranchised with both parties and both 2016 political candidates. Being in this position might explain how I could view the movie as optimistic and hopeful. When I finished watching it, I really did feel proud of the accomplishments my country has achieved and the influence it has on the world. It made me feel like I lived in a place where people really could be whatever they choose to become. This is a view I want my children and grandchildren to have of their home in years to come. I would watch it again and I would encouraged others to do so.
