"America must grow, so liberty grows". In that creepy voice and in the context of this trailer, all I can think of is "fascism".

D'Souza pretty much fits the bill.

This movie is beyond words. How many people will watch this crap and believe it? How to beat them to the punch? It's already showing in over 300 theaters in many states.

I'm sure most of those who see it will believe it, but I doubt they'll exactly be undecided variety going in.

I remember they came out with this same thing for 2012, but it was an online video. This is BS. They are pulling out every card.
This really gets me. They spent 4 yrs holding us back, and now they are putting everything they got to put the icing on the cake.
This is a fight for this country that hasn't been seen in years, way before my parents time. They are treasonous bastards as far as I'm concerned.
sorry for the rant, but that really pissed me off.

Atlas Shrugged Part 2 is set for release in October. It has a production budget of $25 million.

Atlas Shrugged Part 1 was made on a budget of $15 million. It grossed just under $5 million box office.

$40 million. I wonder how they sleep at night knowing a huge chunk of that money went to unionized workers.
