    It's About Time!!!

    by TWright49

    Finally a movie for the "silent majority" to see & totally appreciate! And there wasn't a silent person in the theater. It was non-stop laughs from start to finish and brought a resounding round of applause from the audience at the end. It pretty much took "politcally correct" to task and it's about time that something so honest and so funny came out of Hollywood. Too bad the liberal film-making fools don't understand what a huge market there is in this country for this side of the story to be told. I encourage everyone who is fed up with all the conservative-bashing, religion-bashing, America-bashing to go see it at least once if not more than once and do your part to make this movie a total box office hit. We all need to support the brave souls who put this film together and to let them know we want more of it!!!

    American Carol

    by Golden Retriever

    Finally there is a movie that is Pro-American. I am sick and tired of all the Communist Propaganda by the so called liberal leftists. As a legal naturalized proud American who came here with my family from behind the iron curtain I feel that this country, and what is was founded upon is dying. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln are turning over in there graves. Unfortunately, the average American has never lived under a different system so they are easily brainwashed. This movie, (even though it's a silly comedy) should be embraced. And I hope American people will wake up, and take their country back. Be proud of your country. It's still the best in the world.

    C'mon you idiots!

    For those that lack perspective, this film is a COMEDY, a SPOOF if you will.

    Has anyone ever watched one of the director's films?

    And to those that are inferring that this film is a cousin of Nazi type propaganda....I mean, really? Are you serious?

    Here are the facts:

    Progressive/Left Wing Nuts are going to lose their minds over the fact that someone pokes fun at them. Imagine the horror once you come fae-to-face that your opinions might be mocked in a society that embraces a concept called Free Speech.

    The term, "I can dish it out but can't take it" applies here.

    Just watch how this film catches fire and watch them loose their minds.

    I for one can't wait!!!
