If the trailer is any indication, Santorum's soon to be released movie, is spectacuarly bad



Rick Santorum is bringing the nationwide fight over religious liberty to the big screen, and it is chilling.

As the Supreme Court weighs the Hobby Lobby case and activists at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority conference denounce the war on Christianity in America, Christian movie company EchoLight Studios, of which Rich Santorum is CEO, is preparing to release One Generation Away: the Erosion of Religious Liberty. The trailer, above, shows just how seriously Santorum and many fellow conservatives are taking the issue: if the United States continues down a path that erodes religious freedom, the country could be headed toward Nazi Germany. (That punch comes around minute 1:41.)

One Generation Away is a documentary-style film slated to release September 1. The film focuses on seven ongoing cases studies of religious freedom across the country: Mt. Soledad in San Diego, wedding service providers in Oregon and Washington, Hobby Lobby, chaplaincy in the military, two education cases with a collegiate counseling program, and high school cheerleaders in Koontz, Texas. “The fight to protect our religious freedom is paramount to our country’s future prosperity,” Santorum says. “Taking that fight to the big screen and impacting the culture along the way allows us to inform on this critical subject in a meaningful and entertaining way.”

The film will include interviews with more than 40 political, business and religious leaders, including Steve and David Green of Hobby Lobby, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, Jennifer Marshall of Heritage Foundation, Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church in Dallas, and Tim Wildmon of the American Family Association. “The tone and message of One Generation is that freedom must be available for all to be effective,” Jeff Sheets, president of EchoLight Studios and founder of Abington Ridge Films, explains. “Our intended goal is to promote ongoing, civil dialogue that respects each other even while at times disagreeing.”

so spectacularly wrong....They act as if the Founding Fathers came here because England wouldn't let them practice religion....quite the contrary...England had warring religions between the Church of England and the Catholic Church for centuries...The Founding Fathers were trying to escape that and prevent it in the new country they built. These guys KNOW this yet they continue to say this ...its nothing more than propaganda....because they think it is okay to "lie for the Lord".

And why does one even need to watch that movie after you have seen this trailer? What more is there to say? How many more recordings of Ronald Reagan can you make a human suffer through?

Santorum's little political propaganda film is set to be beamed into Mega Churches all across the Nation in September, with their built-in and eager masses waiting to absorb it like a dry sponge, and a clarion call to get to the polls in November..

nicely warmed over for anyone who didn't get it the first 3,000 times it was vomited all over us. A lie repeated often enough becomes a movie.
