Mind-numbingly awful... but VERY timely

Well said. You have the movie, and its message of ignorance and intolerance, dead to rights. As for its connection to present day politics...unhappily, you're right there, too.

"the paranoia about liberty and freedom being taken away by the government, the fear of liberalism and the equating of progressive ideas with evil, the idea that America must turn and return to God, the attacks on education -- particularly higher education -- and the belief that being informed is analogous with being indoctrinated, fear and loathing of the educated "elite"..."

Hmmm, I think I must give this film a look at some point! :) (not meaning to start any trouble, Hob!)

I agree. I dislike Obama very much and I happen to agree and worry about the same issues the republican party does. But man the ones I encounter on a daily basis are a bunch of scary, angry, ignorant, prejudiced people I have ever seen! They say so much about democrats and liberals but yet they are no better! It's like different ideals, equally fascist ideas, and lousy executions for change. Tea Party? Occupy Wall Street? What do either one of these groups accomplish besides making both sides look really dumb? They don't do anything but show their ignorance! Whether it be an uneducated racist redneck or a hippy dippy let's be cool and hipster and camp out in NYC and do absolutely nothing! And nobody but the other side sees how dumb the other is being because everyone pick sides and cheers for their team. I really believe this is all a way to destroy America. It's called divide and conquer. And I really think sadly we lost.
