Is D'Souza's "Death" Alienating the Republican's Biggest Voting Block?

Dinesh D'Souza's "Death of a Nation" is turning out to be a flop. In fact, it is his coldest opening yet as a documentary filmmaker.

The Wrap.Com reports:

"After making a name for himself with documentaries taking on Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza returned to theaters this weekend with “Death of a Nation,” a new film in praise of President Donald Trump. But D’Souza’s fourth film has posted the lowest opening weekend of his career, with $2.3 million from 1,032 screens for a per screen average of $2,248.

Released two months after Trump granted D’Souza a presidential pardon for making illegal campaign contributions in 2014 — a charge for which the filmmaker pled guilty — “Death of a Nation” compares Trump to Abraham Lincoln"

I must not confess I have not watched this movie but I have read enough stories about it and have seen all the trailers. This is what Wikipedia has to say about it:

"Death of a Nation: Can We Save America a Second Time? is a 2018 American political documentary film by conservative political commentator Dinesh D'Souza. In the documentary, D'Souza positively compares the 45th President of the United States Donald Trump to the 16th President Abraham Lincoln, and indicates that the Democratic Party was critical of both Presidents, as well as the Democrats' apparent similarities to the Nazi Party."

Here is the problem, Dinesh D'Souza is an immigrant who was born in India and came with his parents to the United States. He has what you might call a "Cliff Notes" version of history. He has no natural tie to the land but somehow he envisions that Abraham Lincoln and Donald Trump are the same and he is wrong. The only thing the two presidents have in common is tariffs and even on this the two men differ. Under Lincoln the South was paying 80% of America's taxes through import tariffs that were being used for projects almost exclusively in the North. Trump is trying to use import tariffs to level the playing field of the world market and bring prosperity to all of the United States (not just one section).

For instance the film is supposed to be a defense of Conservatism but by comparing President Trump to President Lincoln he proves he has no clue about the cause in which he is attempting to defend. If he had he would have realized that in the time of Lincoln the Democrats were the Conservatives and the Republicans were the Liberals.

The title of his latest film is no coincidence either. U.S. News recently reported that D'Souza "said the Democratic Party was historically the party of the Ku Klux Klan and segregation." D'Souza no doubt thinks his latest flick is a brilliant rebuttal to D.W. Griffith's 1915 film "Birth of a Nation".

Yesteryear's Democrats are today's Republicans and form a voting block that spans the Southern states. Before Dinesh D'Souza makes one more film or gives one more interview he needs to do some research and come to the realization that he is pissing of a large Republican voting block. Perhaps this is why his film flopped.

Revealed: SPLC Co-Founder Accused of Trying to Molest Step-Daughter

Southern Poverty Law Center Founder Morris Dees Tried to Molest Step-Daughter Chances are that if you're reading this you have heard of The Southern Poverty Law Center. The non for profit legal organization that has provided information to law enforcement and is a "go to" source of information by almost every reporter that encounters a "controversial" story. Widely known for its defense of Civil Rights the SPLC has filled its coffers defending the oppressed and exposing hate-groups, at least that is how the organization wants to be perceived. The reality is that the SPLC has made their millions by twisting the facts. They would have the public believe there is a Klansman hiding behind every tree and a Nazi at every podium. I once found myself in their crosshairs by proposing to hoist a Missouri Battle Flag at the grave of Missouri Confederate Colonel William Jeffers in Jackson, Missouri. The ironic thing about their opposition to this "hate-c...

Emancipation Expectations

Some historians believe that the Emancipation Proclamation never freed a single slave and that it was a political ploy to garner support for the war by rebranding it as a moral fight. Information found in the National Archives seems to support their argument. According to the article entitled " Emancipation Proclamation, 1863 ": "Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not immediately free a single slave, it captured the hearts and imagination of millions of African Americans, and fundamentally transformed the character of the war from a war for the Union into a war for freedom." The transformation was a success politically but in reality the "emancipated" slaves were labeled as "contraband". Their fate was not freedom but rather a new type of slavery through exploitation. Information found in a paper entitled " Civil War in the Delta: Environment, Race and the 1863 Helena Campaign " states: "By early June ...

The Rape of Delaware County

$10 paperback / $.99 Kindle When I was first contacted by Edwin Turlington in the summer of 2018 I was told as story that literally seemed stranger than fiction. A veteran of the U.S. Army was telling me that he was facing a 10-year prison sentence for shooting a felon on his property who had threatened him. Mr. Turlington asked me if I could write an article to help get his story out to the public, being a sucker for a good story I agreed to do it. The story revealed that the corruption in Edwin Turlington’s case, extended throughout the county and included “snitches” given free passes to break the law, a county jail system so corrupt that local property taxes had to be raised to settle the lawsuits of former female inmates, and a local lawyer who made international headlines for his involvement in a murder for hire plot. As the article began to gain attention, Mr. Turlington urged me to write a book about the events, thinking it could be a vital tool to p...
