In honor of Dinesh D'Souza's most recent cinematic achievement comparing Donald Trump to Abraham motherfucking Lincoln, we decided to sit down and watch a god awful monstrosity a family member sent me in the mail a long time ago: One of Dinesh's older pieces of ideologically nonsensical propaganda. Chad Ingold, Jordan Wilson and Nate sat down to watch this movie in its entirety. You may hear a few skips hear and there but that's because this is an awful fucking movie and our commentary is more interesting than Dinesh's incessant and historically inaccurate droning.
