The film In The Face of Evil ; Reagan's War is an excellent corrective to this sad state of affairs. 

The film documents how Ronald Reagan faced the evil of slave economy communism. He did so in a manner based on his experience as president of the Screeen Actors Guild In Hollywood Reagan learned that the communists don't "fight fair." David Horowitz outlines this simple fact in his autobiography Radical Son. Growing in New York Horowitz was taught that America was an evil place that needed to be undermined and destroyed so that the USSR could prevailed. According to Horowitz Communists, like his parents, were instructed to deny that they were revolutionaries and to pretend that they were "liberals' or "New Deal democrats." 

Reagan learned that lie when he was a victim of the gestapo tactics employed against him in SAG. Reagan got to see the violence, smears and intimidation. He knew the truth behind the mask of "compassion for the workers" of men like Stalin , Mao ( Obama administration officials self confessed "favorite political philosopher")and Castro who murdered millions of innocent human beings.

 This is whitewashed as we hear tales of "social justice" and constant harangues about how horrible America is/was. Reagan recognized that both Hitler and Stalin were "men of the Left" and that compromise/appeasement and détente would never win the day. Reagan won , this film outlines how and why and one can see an unbiased depiction as to the reality of yesterday. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
