Watched 2016 last night...

That has to be one of the worst pieces of propaganda I have seen in recent years. The filmmaker spends about 2 hours making his thin argument that Obama is seeking to purposely diminish the power of the United States by comparing him with Obama Sr. - a man Obama Jr. met once after his childhood. (The other half of the film seems like a bad Reaganite dating video where the filmmaker goes into his love for the America of the Reagan Era)

It numbs my mind how I have seen people say they were truly scared about the future of the country after seeing this film.

Essentially, the film boils down to: "Oh noes, Obama is taking all our nukes!"

I'm not saying Obama is doing a great job, but man, W. Bush was a hell of a lot worse for this country (as you can see in our present situation) than what Obama has done thus far. W. started this train rolling.

All this birther-socialist-muslim-america-go-down crap has just one underlying reason: color

How these African-American Republicans ever win office is beyond me.

Darn those Indian director and their self hate against colors...lol, there's a good chance he's darker than Obama. Hey, that Fahrenhype 9/11 had one underlying reason...color? Has a long way to go to catch Moore's 2004 #1 pre-election crappy movie, but this #2 is now #2 in political documentaries. And thank Fonzie this didn't besmirch Bradbury anymore by being named 2016: 451. Think Moore's safe and won't get caught at the box office by this...and certainly ain't going to be given awards in Cannes or Hollywood. Expect the South Park guys "The Book of Mormon" musical to clean up at awards shows though.

And please no crappy "Celsius 41.11" for this one.

You are throwing a native American with an African American in one box???

You are also aware, based on your historical knowledge, that even native Americans have no clean sheets when it comes to slavery of African Americans. They sure did not go overboard like the white folks but some tribes were engaged in slavery.

And if you think that a native American can not be a racist you are mistaken. Anybody and everybody can be a racist one way or another: white folks, Hispanics, native Americans, African Americans.

And you certainly shouldn't write this off as some whacky conspiracy theory because I have yet to see any President being under such pathetic attack like the Birther movement, has been called a Muslim, has been called an Anti-American etc.

I saw it several weeks ago. D'Souza whines about Obama not being rabidly militaristic enough and fully embraces an American empire instead of the republic it's supposed to be.

I will not say there are no racists amongst the republicans, there most certainly are.

I look at things differently though now, all of these "tools", in this case liberals use, do nothing to help the growth of society, and really mean nothing at all.

Both parties really do not stand for anything, their convictions are a dry-erase board. These supposed "convictions" like racism, education, etc. are NOT really convictions, but more a temporary, and in some cases, life long tool to attack the other party.

I will use the anti war "tool" for my example, even though the "tool" you use in this example is racism.

Go back a few years, 2006 or so, i can't remember exactly when it happened, but as i have said many times before, I used to be a republican. I was going through the process of realizing republicans did not fit my idea of a great political party, i was not happy with the war, nor our foreign policy in general. I really wondered if i SHOULD be a democrat. they were so anti war, vehemently against torture, etc, i thought many times if they just were more in tuned with protecting our individual rights, i would be sold.

Fast forward to now, and i was not smart enough to figure this out until just recently, but democrats, or liberals, what ever name you wish to group them under, they really have NO concrete convictions. Am I talking about all of them? Most, i am sure some have actual integrity, and do not just support whatever the current rally cry is for their party, but i am surely talking about the majority.

Here it is 2012, we have their President in office that used to not believe in conflict like that, but it turns out he is even a bigger war monger than Bush was. It also turns out, democrats now do not feel so strongly about the anti war movement, the only thing they care about is the current rally cry from their party that they can attack the republicans on. A few days ago it was that veteran bill, every democrat on my Facebook friends list was crying about republicans not caring about veterans, because they killed the veterans job bill. I have no idea about the bill, but i happen to think veterans (myself included) are no better than lets say my next door neighbor that did not serve, why should they have an advantage over another guy? I (obviously) knew these people personally, and if any of these people really cared about veterans, it was the first i heard, again just a tool.

So, i take nothing these partisan people say seriously anymore, it really means nothing. If you can move your opinions SO FAR on a subject like war, where the hell do you really stand on ANYTHING?

This is not a jab at you personally, but the way of thinking you represent. The tool you used to attack this time is an old favorite, RACISM.

Yeah, the republicans never attacked mercilessly any previous white democrats, it all started with the first black president.

Is this ever going to get old?

Obama probably loves that more people talk about this kind of stuff, "American exceptionalism," etc. than about the economy and areas in which he is actually weak. Republicans are running quite the campaign...

Lol, not sure who's going to be pissed more at such blatant and obvious offensive bigotry, Native Americans or Indians. Dinesh D'Souza is an Indian from India. Haven't seen anything about him hating blacks or muslims. D'Souza is conservative with some extremely stupid views towards liberalism with crazy framed Michael Moorish conspiracies...his first book was The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and its Responsibility for 9/11.

Too many states with the worst economic problems in the nation would not ever switch from Obama to Romney or even just have them dragged into realistic tossup status...Cal, NY, Ill, MI, NJ, CT....141 electoral votes. Of the 100 toss ups, only 19 (Nevada and NC) are in the worst economic states, 56 in the middle (Fla, Oh, Co), and 23 (Va, NH, Iowa) are with less than 6% unemployment...and 23 is the number of votes Obama needs as electoral votes sit now at 247-191, 100 tossups. Obama economy weakness doesn't necessarily correllate to electoral vote weakness.
