The Assassins’ Apologia
Americans don’t torture. Americans don’t assassinate. That goes back to the Revolutionary War. But we coddle war crimes when committed at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The values of the book are on full display in this film adaptation, and the young cast is pivotal in ensuring this works.

TO SEE A WORLD
“Americans are in dire need of a meaningful worldview. And by worldview, I don’t mean a firm grasp of the rules of the road. I’m not talking about the Constitution; I’m talking about the ideas contained within the Constitution. Those ideas came from intellectuals who would have recognized today’s Republican Party, and Donald Trump in particular, as a Fifth Column – as the wrecking ball of civilization that it is.”
