Maddy and Roger and Sheila and Bill Watch a Sobering Movie

We met Roger and Maddy at the neighborhood IHOP early for the BOGO supper and then went to see "2016" at the Promenade. It is a thoughtful, sobering even frightening movie. Following up on President Obama's own recorded statements and the history of his family, the movie develops a picture of a man who has no experience with American culture as we know it, no loyalty to American values as we know them and a burning generationally bred desire to take America and Americans down a few notches the world community.

It is undisputed that his father was a high ranking and respected advisor to the leftist Kenyan independence movement which among other things bred the bloody Mau Mau uprisings there.

It is undisputed that during the 1960's his mother was a hard core leftist with a penchant for third world revolutionaries for husbands when she wasn't posing for porn.

It is undisputed that his closest mentor was a card carrying communist so dangerous that the FBI kept him on the list of Soviet Agents until the day he died.

It is undisputed that one of his close Chicago political friends was a member of the 1960's radical group the Weathermen who bombed US govt. offices, including the Pentagon, and killed policemen.

It is undisputed that his pastor of many years is the high priest of the anti-American, anti-colonial liberation theology movement.

In short, this movie thoughtfully shows that the man in the Oval Office right now admits that he has an agenda forged by his association with these people and their cause, the destruction of America as we know it. If you want to get a historical view of this man's political influences start with the bloody and infamous Mau Mau movement in Kenya. Then take a look at the US "Weather Underground" movement of the 1960's.

The information presented in this movie is not just campaign propaganda. It is factual. The problem is that the people who should see this movie will not and even if they did they have become so addicted to the politics of partisanship, lies, accusations, labels and branding that they no longer have the intellectual capacity to weigh the evidence before them.
