Jesus Camp review

onwards christian soldiers...

this movie finally answered for me WHY america keeps voting idiots like Bush into power: the nation is being brainwashed by extremist christian movement. I especially love how they used Ted Haggard in some of the interviews near the end, the same Ted Haggard who, after this movie was released, was found to be snorting speed while in the company of male hookers. Oh, the hypocricy knows no bounds.

And to put people's fear at ease, it isnt anti or pro religion, at least not obviously. in fact, no opinion is given at all by any sort of narrator. Camera follows a radical bible camp teacher, shows how they interact with kids at these camps, and to counter-balance that, we hear serveral times clips of Mike Papantonio's radio show about how he feels about the religious right. viewer is left to make their own opinion. I can totally picture an evangelical person watching this and not seeing any of the irony found throughout, whereas an anti-bush anti-right person such as myself picked up on all the ironic clips and interviews.
