Shamusst, you appear to be the only one with any common sense who has posted about this movie. I just saw this movie and Yes, I am a proud American who loves this country and Yes, I loved it! No, it doesn't have any big name stars or Academy Award winning performances. It's not just about Christmas and it's not just about God and religion. It is about FREEDOM and having the freedom to stand up for what you believe. Many Americans do not even realize they are slowly but surely losing freedoms they have always taken for granted. Most will not know what freedoms they had until they are lost. Sadly, there is too much apathy and many just have no idea what is happening around them. Do your homework people, stop trusting everything you hear on the mainstream media. I could go on and on with that subject, but this is about a GOOD movie with a powerful message. It is a wake up call, don't be late!

"It is about FREEDOM and having the freedom to stand up for what you believe. Many Americans do not even realize they are slowly but surely losing freedoms they have always taken for granted. Most will not know what freedoms they had until they are lost."
Right, well being an obviously right wing movie, it should have taken into account that George W. Bush used 9/11 to impose on us the Patriot Act, warrant less wiretapping, illegal search and seizure and of course Gitmo, where people can be held indefinitely without due process and torture, a vilation of the Geneva convention. This is why Bush and Cheney can't leave the country.
Bush used 9/11 as an excuse to shred the Constitution. Obama tried to close Gitmo and was blocked by the republican Congress.
Was that part of our freedoms in the director's cut or something?
