I liked how the film enabled the audience to really learn the characters and get involved with who they were, this made it entertaining and somewhat enjoyable to watch. (Regardless of whether the profiles of each "character" had an extreme bias placed on them via editing)

What I didn't like was how the film portrayed small town Americans as lovable fools who, through no fault of their own, are completely ignorant and don't know how to be the "global citizen"of the "global community" that city folks dream about.

Regardless of which party you are; the structure of society is family. Small towns know how to do family. It's a community. It's a FAMILY! Members of families generally tend to hold the same viewpoints. So it should not come as a surprise to anyone that the members of the Crawford community hold similar values. Just like heavily populated urban areas.

I just moved to a small town in Texas. It's different for sure and a little overwhelming at first. "Don't mess with Texas" "Everything is bigger in Texas" and other like slogans predominate the general outlook. One thing stands true: Texans love their state AND their country. They want the best for both. This POSITIVE outlook is completely contrary to the many stereotypes placed on Texans as a whole.

There's lots of other BS in this film that's pretty disgusting and not worth commenting on.

Small town America is based on family and that's where many honest and polite individuals come from, don't mess with it.

is that the president is not a dictator he is an elected offical to represent the majority view wrong or right the point is that when this contry was founded our forefathers knew that no one man should rule the country but electedd officals should agree or oppose based on the feelings of the population and as a official to represent the views of the majority by nature they will be opposed by the minority as is the way of the world no one can please everyone Bush knows this Obama know this the job of the president is to push his parties views if he does not and in some way harms this country it is our job as Americans to do something about it thats what the protesters and anti-protesters thought they were doing no matter your veiws the were both preforming there duty as an american and should be respected for doing so was the war justified i do not know i didn't get the briefings was it done properly well it wasn't the way i would have done it should the troops be looked down upon no as a resent member of the miltary i didn't join because i felt the war was justified though again i'm not claiming it wasn't i joined because my fellow country men need help if you see someone lying in the street hurt do you ask what his political views are first no you help because as an American and as a human being it is your duty to help your brother everything else is second anyways before i ramble on to much more let me leave you with this the oath all members of the military take

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

thanks, and give your oppinion my email is,

I loved this. Then again, I miss not living in TX anymore, so maybe that's why, a little reminder of the place I consider home. (I'm one of those "wasn't born there, but got there as soon as I could.") That comment about Bush being from CT is highly hypocritical, cuz the same little freak who brings it up has been brainwashed not to call out Puerto Ricans who move to New York! Where a person comes from is so insignificant, yet that's the best they can come up with?

Notice how all the older people who came from generations that didn't produce mass levels of prego teens and weirdos in black are the ones who appreciate Bush. What IS it with libs and the supposed religious nature of conservatism? What about those of us who aren't even Christian, who don't have a southern accent, who possess a college degree, who STILL appreciate Bush (and, not coincidentally, also respect our elders and fellow man)? It's not about scripture for everyone, for some of us it's about pure and simple intellect.

The fat teacher chick is the reason my children will not go to public school. Children can't pray or say the pledge of allegiance, but she can conduct a political discussion on her terms? Lady, there's a huuuuge gathering of Texans who are flaming liberal, it's called AUSTIN, move there, you will absolutely LOVE it! (as do I)

No matter how you fall on theses issues, you have to admit that the struggles face by this small town were symbolic of the struggles going on all over America.

Perhaps part of the irony is in that Crawford isn't symbolic of America as a whole, as no individual community is, but is more symbolic of the line in the sand drawn down the middle.

The truth of the matter is that small towns like this are incubators for ignorance and fundamentalism, no different than the mountains of Afghanistan.

America is moving away from small town values, as it should. It is naive to believe that these peoples journey is in any way superior or more correct than anyone else's. This is merely the way of the past that we should respect and grow away from.

Perhaps it took a George W. Bush for America to stop and evaluate the direction we want to go in. I just hope we can remember what happened and try to do better in the future. Somehow I doubt it though.

we all had to live through the bush years like it or not and for those who did not choose him for president it was a dark time in our history. i lived through hurricane katrina in new orleans and believe me when i say the government failed us in our darkest days. i can tell you i was not surprised. if history writes the list of the good george did and the bad in truth not myth we will and are still suffering those consequences. in crawford even the supporters of bush did also. the real heros are teachers and people who help their neighbors and that is the good lesson of this movie. bush is nobodies hero in my city.

1) Small town people are not stupid...they are just too polite to let you know you are "jackass" when you are "visiting" (goes for both political sides in this film)

2) If you are a teacher than holds impressionable minds in your control DO NOT try to live vicariously through your students because you had to move back home to mommy and daddy's place and make it look like you did them a favor, the result may be more than you can handle.

3) If you are a "grieving" mother shouldn't your "tearful" speech not sound like you wrote it the day your son was born in anticipation of this day?

4) Peace is something you must first bring into in your own house before bringing it to your neighbor's (it's Biblical, look it up).

5) A little bit of knowledge is a terrible thing in the wrong hands, especially those who have more time than sense.

6) One can never know the agony nor peace involved in an honest day's work of manual labor such as tree clearing by reading about it.
