I recommend a lot of sermons and podcasts on this site. I don't recommend many movies (check out Dr. David Murray's sermon, Should Christians Watch Movies?). But I want to recommend one today. Actually, it is not a movie so much as a short video. It is the reenactment of a true story that has come to be known as The Battle of Athens. Here is a description of this short video (13 minutes) on WND News:
"For a decade before World War II and afterward, a corrupt political
machine ran the town. But veterans returning from the war didn’t like
what they found in their hometown. So they fielded opposition candidates
for sheriff and state senate. But the machine politicians seized the ballot boxes to ensure they would not be ousted by a popular political vote. The vets grabbed what today would be called “assault weapons” – you
know, the kind that shoot one round at a time while another round enters
the chamber, just like 90 percent of today’s firearms. They surrounded the town jail where the ballot boxes were being
secured. When the machine politicians refused to turn over the ballot
boxes, the veterans blew up the jail and took possession of the ballots. Not surprisingly, they found the challengers had won the election fair and square."
Guns Are Only Answer to Criminal Government
