I was skeptical when I watched this so many years ago. When the IRS scandal with them admitting they were targeting conservatives came to light, and the first time thousands of Lois Learner's( head of IRS)emails somehow were lost, I started believing. Now knowing what has been done, and how corrupt the IRS has become under Obama, although the corruption probably started with Clinton, and was not challenged by Bush, is amazing. 30,000 more lost emails, and 50,000 texts lost by the FBI has brought me back to re-watching this very insightful movie.
... View MoreDinesh D'Souza has to perform a lot more community service for breaking campaign- finance laws than he thought, with a federal judge saying that D'Souza has to do eight hours each week for the entire five years he's on probation and not just the eight months he was confined to a halfway house.The judge also read aloud a report from a court-appointed psychologist who called D'Souza "arrogant" and "intolerant of others' feelings."D'Souza pleaded guilty last year to illegally shelling out $20,000 in contributions in the name of others for Republican Wendy Long's failed 2012 bid to defeat Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.
... View MoreThis movie is a historical MUST-SEE for both political parties.. and anyone that believes hard-work should be the foundation for America and it's growth as a nation. Our mixed past history is viewed from both vantage points.. recent progressive points as well as the historical facts through extensive first-hand interviews (amazing facts you will hear NO WHERE Else !). This is 80% a history lesson based up on facts and interviews.. and 20% political viewpoints reviewed with facts.. both are compelling and not explored like this anywhere else ! (Dinesh has little to loose since the IRS/Feds already have him on trial)*CRITICS* .. open your eyes and take a step down from your liberally- biased media talking points !This movie goes through an enormous amount of historical research and interviews the unspoken truth at the source. The facts are mostly unknown and not ones you will hear from the biased media/critics, most of which they want to remain hidden.. given that THE TRUTH is what the Media and Critics PAINT as a FALSE REALITY on the NEWS we hear every day (which is why our president has 8 years to demolish our economy and the future patriotism and work ethics.. and associated past prosperity that American's had).FACT: The state of America is the worst we have been in under any president in US history, and the media keeps white-washing the facts in absolute denial that they backed an unskilled radically left politician into the White House for 2 terms.If you open up your eyes and ears (vs. in denial), you will hear that the "progressive" movement has taken over the democratic party and slanted the facts in 2 of the most populous segments of our nation: our youth (in schools and universities) and our lower classes (whom will take as many handouts this government will give them .. making them dependents addicted to the socialized nation.. negating any form of work ethic in their families for generations to come.. aka welfare nation USA).As the movie depicts, capitalism isn't some evil empire, but simply corporate growth occurs ONLY when consumers buy their products. .and given America's highest corporate taxes in the WORLD.. and rising, these economic engines (where we GET Employment!) are being throttles since high taxes on them mean less hiring.. less research.. and incentive to leave America where taxation is lower. The flip side of the coin is higher taxes on the consumer means.. less $ to spend on products and fuel our economy .. (2/3 of the US GDP IS CONSUMER SPENDING !). What Obama.. is doing lacks all logic, unless he has ulterior motives (which is why you need to see the part 1 movie: 2016 : Obama's America).Simple facts that aren't even in this movie.. : we are now a socialized nation and economy (which is why Europe and other socialized parts of the world have no productivity gains and languish for the past several decades.. handouts with no work requirements give no incentive to install either : work ethics, now patriotism.. both of which are lost in this new generation under Obama. When you make the underclass of society dependent and not proud of their country.. America falls apart (but guarantees an under-educated class that will keep voting democratic to keep getting the handouts.. add to that 50M illegals to dilute our work-force and put $Tr more stress on the healthcare system.. we are about to incur tremendous economic fallout.. but possibly not until after the next election).
... View MoreThis isn't worthy of being labeled as Documentary. What is presented in this film are isolated facts to prove an initial theory: 'Obama's Anti- Colonialism'. The presentation of this facts disregards every method of Social and Political Sciences Studies (which isn't surprising giving the directors' Academic background). Flagrant examples (among many) of this lack of credible method are statements that Obama's so-called support for Argentina in the Falklands conflict and of the downgrade of oil drilling in the US favoring South American Countries explorations is one proof of this Anti-Colonialism. If the director had researched these 'facts' a little bit better he would have known that some Specialists see these examples as a form of American Colonialism. Some regard the American 'support' to Argentina as a form of securing the exploration of the South Atlantic natural resources for American companies and the same can be said for the Brazilian oil reserves.But these views aren't relevant for the premise of the theory so it's best to disregard them. The most amusing part of this is Obama's brother interview. The questions asked were obviously trying to lead the answers to the sensationalist conclusion that Obama's brother had been abandoned in poverty by the President but the simplicity and intelligence of the interviewee destroyed those tactics in marvelous way just by stating that he was and adult capable of taking care of himself and that if is brother was trying to do good things to the World in the end he was doing good for him. The anger in the eyes of Mr D'Souza eyes was very entertaining. Thank God Portuguese is an always evolving Language otherwise me and Mr. D'Souza would share the same family name (which obviously has Portuguese origins) and that would be a shame on that name. I'm sure my Grandfather (a high regarded Historian) would roll in his grave if he knew the name he loved so much was involved in such disrespect for the Science he admired and lived for. In conclusion I rated 2016: Obama's America 2/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2247692 #IMDb
