back to the film itself, i have now seen it and can give my opinion that it was very well done, thought provoking from both sides of ideologies, and brings out the truth cited by george washington that no foreign power would defeat us, but rather we could only die a death by suicide, which is what we are slowly doing! see the film and see if you don't agree! the audience applauded at the end, which always makes me feel good! and the charges against the writer are also touched upon.

Wondering how crowded was it? Great Britain pretty much broke even with us in the War of 1812. http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/12...e-war-of-1812/

Default audience size

i would say that since i went to a monday one thirty pm performance, the size of the audience was pretty good...nationally the film is doing very well. it is a topic which it behooves every citizen to ponder!

I saw it yesterday at the 1:30 show in LSL. (didn't see you there Chachacha, but arrived a bit late) I was a skeptic. And I was also one of the many clapping loudly at the end. I didn't agree with everything he pointed out in the movie, but he was spot on with a lot of it as well. Very well done, very thought provoking, and if you believe half of his message, we are doomed as a nation and will be destroyed from within.

To quote a famous "person", we have met the enemy and it is us.

i was right in the first row as i like to put my feet on the bars in front of me i did not get the feeling we are doomed, YET, but if people do not get active and counteract the damage which has been done, vote knowledgably and discuss things reasonably, then you might be right

Although I have yet to see the movie I wanted to read the book which is currently #51 on Amazon's best seller list. I am on my local library's wait list since D'Souza is quite popular around here. Costco just pulled the book from its stores although it was selling well. Dinesh D'Souza book yanked from Costco shelves - Washington Times

Without taking sides, the ceo of Costco is a strong supporter of Democratic candidates to the point of encouraging employees to wear Democratic candidate campaign buttons. I've seen this myself. So maybe the reason was not as objective as some might believe. :just saying:

This article states it was #5 overall on Amazon, #1 in its field. Costco removing D’Souza’s ‘America’ from shelves
