Review convinced me

I want to thank this paper’s film reviewer Philip Martin for his recent column on Dinesh D’Souza’s film Death of a Nation. I had heard about the film but had no particular intention to see it.

I happened to see the headline of Martin’s review, and then Martin’s name. I have read enough of Martin’s views in the past and decided I need more of that like ants to a picnic or Custer needing one more Indian at Little Big Horn.

Martin’s trashing of D’Souza’s film encouraged me to investigate and make my own decision, probably not what the reviewer had in mind. If a liberal tells you the sun is shining, maybe you should look out a window; if he tells you to turn left, you might consider turning right. If Martin speaks of Death of a Nation as “nonsense” and its producer as a “partisan hack” and one who “long ago betrayed” any talent he once seemed to have, it might be a good move, considering the source, to check out the film for oneself. Which I did, and took a friend.

The film is excellent and faithful to the actual events and the actions and words of past presidents, and the disaster that awaits our country, the “death of a nation,” if the socialists among us have their way. I recommend seeing the film. Don’t bring the children; some images are hard enough for adults to forget. HAROLD CHILTON
