FreedomWorks launched a video today suggesting the libertarianish “Atlas Shrugged” film is Ripped Straight From the Headlines.

The FreedomWorks film Saddles up scenes from the Atlas Shrugged movie — “set in a not-so-distant future in which government has taken control of the means of production” — alongside clips from the likes of President Barack Obama and Rep. Bernie Sanders advocating for the limitations of personal freedom. In the quick video, FreedomWorks does a handy job of blending fact and fiction.

Atlas Shrugged will have its nationwide, limited release tomorrow (Tax Day!). Viewers can also take a quiz to try and guess which quotes come from “Atlas Shrugged” and which come from the U.S. government. Watch the video below:

    Video rocks…bring it! Connecting the dots works…we can see the picture…FreedomWorks needs to take this forward and others like it into main stream media purchase from now through the election. All of the characters on the current stage, Soros, Clinton, Trumka, Stern, SEIU et all with this treatment. The American People will take it from there if the connections are made.
