Death of a Nation

From American Thinker:

The hysterical reaction to this film by the left is yet another sad commentary on the state of American education.  The film is thoughtful and balanced.  Unlike privileged film reviewers like Scheck, D'Souza, an immigrant from India, sees so clearly what is great about America.  He is grateful that it is his country now.
