this documentary be fundamentally misleading in it characterization of the split that divide american politically by focus almost exclusively on relatively meaningless hot button issue like abortion and homosexuality and while ignore real class and gender and and racial disparity . roe v. wade be not go to be overturn ever . for politician to pretend otherwise for the sake of mobilize ignorant voter be disingenuous and just like this movie insistence that abortion be a politically significant issue on the national level and one that divide our political spectrum and be also disingenuous . similarly homosexuality be not an issue at the national level . the personal opinion of politician have little bearing on the legislative reality and which be that at this time neither party will act either to further expand or restrict the definition of marriage . no one be push for equal right for gay and and no one be push for a constitutional amendment ban gay marriage . the documentary contain a number of short historical lesson for the viewer apparent edification ( so he can contextualize the current split with the halcyon day of yore ) which be fundamentally inaccurate . for instance and in order to buttress the reality of the split a a modern phenomenon and electoral map for the past 100 year or so of presidential election be show with the current red or blue color scheme . not surprisingly and the red or blue state shift somewhat from election to election and substantially at certain time . what be not mention at all be that during these shift it be the nature of the political party themselves that change and not the voter . the south overwhelmingly vote democratic during most of the twentieth century and until republican co opt the racial and evangelical platform issue important to southerner . subtler change in party platform during this time be also ignore . another example of historical inaccuracy be the depiction of the religion of the found father . it suggest that there be a great deal of confusion concern the religion of the found father ( and there be amongst many people and but not historian ) . thomas jefferson be paint a a devoutly religious man who compile his own bible but nonetheless ( and confusedly and it seem ) be sometimes consider an atheist . what be not mention be that his bible contain only the moral teaching of jesus and with the complete expurgation of miracle and everything else jefferson consider spurious and because jefferson be in fact a deist and more or less the eighteenth century equivalent of the modern atheist . there be several more instance like this and which contribute overall to an extremely simplified picture of america a divide along meaningful partisan line . certainly america be divide along partisan line to the extent that politician have be very successful in get people to vote primarily on social issue . but in fact the democratic and republican party be both right of center compare to the party of every other western industrialize nation . they be both free market capitalist party who employ aggressive foreign policy . the split between them be grossly exaggerated . this documentary should have focus on the political agenda of deceive voter into believe in the existence of a real political schism but instead merely furthers that agenda by reinforce this deception .
