Best movie of this year hands down!

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

There's no need for a spoiler alert since this is all based on facts. I noticed that Cameron picked the top authorities on all the subjects that he tells us about.Also this is very well done. It's enjoyable and nicely paced. Some documentaries get bogged down and become boring. This one is fun and the time goes by very fast. I almost wished it was longer.I was curious as to why the rating was so low, so I looked at who did the ratings. There were mostly 10 ratings, but almost as many gave it a 1, which tells me those people never saw the movie, just panned it because they knew what it was about.That's sad and shows how many are hostile towards any truth about our founding. I guess the founders never expected such evil to take over our country and attempt to destroy it from within, but we all know that's what's been happening for the last 50 or more years.I hope everyone who cares becomes more educated on this subject. There will always be those who spread lies, so it's brave of people like Kirk Cameron to dare to tell the truth.Watch this if you care what happens to the most generous and free country every founded.

Puritans found it difficult to love the sinner and hate the sin and decreed the death penalty for adulterers, homosexuals and witches. Kirk Cameron, in this new attempt at Christian revisionism, tried to suggest that the founders of America (and I don't mean the puritan settlers) wanted a theocracy, which is what the the Puritan community was. However, what our forefathers envisioned was independence, patriotism, practicality and tolerance. Puritans believed teenage boredom and old feuds were a part of witchcraft, our forefathers did not.Then there is the myth about the printing, financing, distribution of bibles by Congress. This is simply not true. Robert Aitken printed the Bible. Aitken was not appointed to be the official bible printer and, although Aitken wanted the bible published under the authority of Congress, the bible was not printed or paid for by Congress: Resolved: That the United States in Congress assembled, highly approve the pious and laudable undertaking of Mr. Aitken, as subservient to the interest of religion as well as an instance of the progress of the arts in this country, and being satisfied from the above report, of his care and accuracy in the execution of the work they recommend this edition of the Bible to the inhabitants of the United States and hereby authorize him to publish this recommendation in the manner he shall think proper (see page 574, Journals of Congress, September 12, 1782).Take it all with a grain of salt.

The director, Kirk Cameron has come along way in his career, this film proves to be the picture of his true talent. In an age where information has been the backbone to change, we are encouraged to research our facts given the falsehood of 9/11 and our current war in the middle east. The truth from which a story is fabricated can only stay true until the lie is presented. Though we are always in anticipation of the real story becoming a text in our history books, with a broadcasting of their admission of fault, this is not the case. Our future will only be given the same ill facts, the lies will be stone and the student will believe this. Solely to maintain a patriotic faith in the system. Some lies need to be told to prevent anarchy, some lies need to be re-written to correct the course we are on.

I use this in my classroom to set the tone for American History. We can not hide behind a false understanding of our history and expect our children just believe whatever is said in the world. They must be rooted in the truth and see that our founders understood the costs that may lie ahead, and that we must put faith first so that we can make good and proper decisions. Man will make mistakes along the road of life... that should be understood, but we must try and correct our path when light is shed upon the falsehoods and failures we experience. Sometimes it hurts to see what we really are and where we come from, but that is what we must understand if we are to see where we came from.
