Another to watch is “The Great McGinty” It shows how vote fraud is done, and how politicians are bought.

Considering George Soros, not much has changed since 1939.

Is there one “Mr. Smith” in Washington now?

First time I saw Mr Smith, about 30 years ago, I was on my feet applauding at the end.

Listening to today’s GOPe politicians speak it often sounds like they are just positioning themselves for their interview for their next job at the Chamber of Commerce, Goldman Sachs or Lockheed Martin.

Donald Trump is the modern day Mr. Smith. That is why so many people responded to him. It came from the heart.

I was always struck by how cruel they were to the kids trying to help him. I don’t even think they’d be allowed to make the bad guys that bad these days!

Yesterday I had the opportunity to buy Billy Jack goes to Washington from the cheap DVD bin, and I left it there.

I like how they showed us how special interests get their “astro turf” to intimidate the politicians. Sounds familiar doesn’t it—the loud fans of Obamacare and those wacko women in their silly pink hats.

"Is there one “Mr. Smith” in Washington now?"

If so, Tom Cotton is sure a close 2nd.

Even worse the Senate tried to stop the movie from being released.

Mr. Smith is about old-fashioned crooks. What we have is the Communists running almost every Western government and party, allied with the Nazis, who are pouring over the borders by the tens of millions.

Thanks for the reminder to watch this again.

‘Inherit The Wind’ is also a great movie; it’s about the Scopes Trial in 1920’s Tennessee. (Creationism v. Evolution)
