      Remember, one of the reasons we are viewing this film is to reinforce the idea of gaining access to certain demographic groups. In this case, it is young people, children. But there are ways to access other groups as well. This is the essence of modern political campaigns: broadcast benign messages, narrowcast specific messages, build a coalition to 50% plus 1.
  • I got my big old ghost hammer tonight.We gonna break something in tonight.We gonna break the power of the enemy in government.They came to your schools and they took Jesus out of your schools but……one thing they couldn't do, is take Jesus out of your heart.We can't just sit back and accept corrupt government.I believe God wants to put godly righteous people in government.How many of you want to break this cup?The power of the enemy of government.Break this cup.You break that thing in the name of Jesus.

      This is the scene where the children write the word "government" on coffee mugs and then smash them with a hammer. The implication is that the government is unjust because it has passed and enforces laws that do not match with their laws as written in the Bible. The scene ends with Becky Fisher declaring "this means war!!!"
  • Here is the deal.Before you were born… … God knew you. Extraordinary. He said this: "He said he formedyou in your mother's womb."

      You now know the origin on the restriction on contraception that was the subject of Griswold v Connecticut (1965) http://teachers.dadeschools.net/jzoeller/APGovt/01_A_Landmark_Supreme_Court_Cases_Summaries_files/112d2ab5d08653418fa1f2879d508e79-82.html

      George Bush was elected on the power of the evangelical vote. The appointment of Samuel Alito, and many lower court justices are what the talk-show host is referring to.
  • Together, these people form a powerful…… I mean, powerful voting block.Look, George Bush and Karl Rove…… all these people: big, big time.

      This is what the Faith Based Initiatives were intended to do. Fetal stem cell decision, too.

      In political beliefs, this is similar, but not absolutely true...
  • You know, I think democracy…… is the greatest political system on Earth…it's the only… the only… it's the on Earth, you know…… and it is designed to destroy itself …… because we have to give everyone the equal freedom…… and it will destroy us.

      Remember my allusion to Plato's Allegory of the Cave: treat equals equally, treat unequals unequally...
  • On this vote, are 58, are 42.The president’s nomination of Samuel A. Alito Jr…… of New Jersey to be associate justice…… of the Supreme Court of the United States…… is confirmed.

      The vote, 58-43 in favor, was almost straight party line: only four Democratic Senators voted aye, and each was from a "Red" state. And even if they had voted no, Alito would still have been confirmed.
  • What's always set this country apart?… is because there is something that we called: …… a separation between Church and State.

      Not quite always. The case histories on school prayer, and reproductive rights, and the right to die are good examples.
  • This is a crucial, crucial time.Judge Alito, what we worked on for a 30 years…… is coming to culmination, to consummation, right now.And let's... let's confirm this man, Judge Alito…… to the US Supreme Court and let's make one more step towards…… bringing America back to one nation under God.

      The voice here is most likely the Reverend Jerry Fallwell, one of the most influential Christian leaders in US history.

      The reference to 30 years is a reference to Roe v Wade and the larger culture war.

      This is a difficult thing to present in a sticky note, but do you recall our class discussion concerning capital punishment? That when the government executes someone, it is denying its fundamental premise: the protection of life, liberty, and property. That when the government does so, it is all of us pressing the button to extinguish a life. And moreover, recall the three (or 4) reasons we punish; 1) to teach, 2) to force suffering to atone, 3) to extract vengeance, 4) to protect.
  • One popular thing to do in American politics… …it is to note that the summers in the United States… …over the past few years, have been very warm.As a result, global warming must be real.What's wrong with this reasoning?- It's only gone up 0.6 degrees.- Ah.

      On NPR today, therewas a story about a protest in Alaska concerning the opening up of the "Northwest Passage"...something that we think has never existed during civilized history...and the environmental impact of oil drilling where previously ice sheets had made drilling impossible or dangerous.
