mwdegutis, It's amazing the kind of bs you can find on u-tube.The idea that the President of the United States doesn't want the best for our country is absurd on it's face. I don't agree with everything Obama has done since becoming POTUS but I have no doubt that he believes he is doing what is best for this blessed land.
I thought that " W " was easily the worst President of my life time, but I would never think that he believed he wasn't doing what was the best for America. Lets curb all this hyperbole, and criticize policies we don't like instead of name calling!

It appears that you haven't heard of Dinesh D'Souza. Born in Mumbai, India, Dinesh D’Souza came to the U.S. as an exchange student and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth College in 1983.

Since then, D’Souza has had a prominent career as a writer, scholar, and public intellectual, and has also become a renowned filmmaker with his top-grossing documentaries 2016: Obama’s America and America.

A former policy analyst in the Reagan White House, D’Souza also served as John M. Olin Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and the Robert and Karen Rishwain Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He served as the president of The King’s College in New York City from 2010 to 2012.

Called one of the “top young public-policy makers in the country” by Investor’s Business Daily, D’Souza quickly became known as a major influencer on public policy through his writings. His first book, Illiberal Education (1991), publicized the phenomenon of political correctness in America’s colleges and universities and became a New York Times bestseller for 15 weeks. It has been listed as one of the most influential books of the 1990s.

In 1995, D’Souza published The End of R****m, which became one of the most controversial books of the time and another national bestseller. His 1997 book, Ronald Reagan: How an Ordinary Man Became an Extraordinary Leader, was the first book to make the case for Reagan’s intellectual and political importance. D’Souza’s The Virtue of Prosperity (2000) explored the social and moral implications of wealth.

In 2002, D’Souza published his New York Times bestseller What’s So Great About America, which anticipated the case that would need to be made for American exceptionalism and was critically acclaimed for its thoughtful patriotism. His 2003 book, Letters to a Young Conservative, has become a handbook for a new generation of young conservatives inspired by D’Souza’s style and ideas. The Enemy at Home, published in 2006, stirred up a furious debate both on the left and the right. It became a national bestseller and was published in paperback in 2008, with a new afterword by the author responding to his critics.

Just as D’Souza is one of the nation’s most articulate spokesmen for a reasoned and thoughtful conservatism, he has also been an equally brilliant and forceful defender of Christianity. What’s So Great About Christianity not only intelligently explained the core doctrines of the Christian faith, it also explained how the freedom and prosperity associated with Western Civilization rest upon the foundation of biblical Christianity. Life After Death: The Evidence shows why the atheist critique of immortality is irrational and draws the striking conclusion that it is reasonable to believe in life after death. D’Souza’s latest foray into the debate over Christianity is his 2010 New York Times bestselling book, Godforsaken, in which he takes on the pain and suffering critique of the faith.

In 2010, D’Souza wrote The Roots of Obama’s Rage, which was described as the most influential political book of the year, and set off a firestorm which ultimately led to D’Souza’s first film, 2016: Obama’s America. The film quickly rose to the second highest grossing political documentary of all time, easily passing Michael Moore’s Sicko and Al Gore’s An Inconvenient T***h. 2016 is also the #6 bestselling documentary in any category.

D’Souza’s second analysis of Obama came in his 2014 book, Obama’s America: Unmaking the American Dream, which climbed to #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and also influenced the 2016 film. In these two books, D’Souza makes the case that Obama’s agenda was in fact inherited from his father who harbored anti-colonial hatred toward the West.

This thesis about Obama’s motivations would prove to have predictive power in the coming years, anticipating Obama’s actions at home and abroad. Two years after the film’s release, D’Souza recorded this update:

2016 garnered national attention and was critical in the conversation leading up to the 2012 e******n. In fact, the film ruffled so many feathers that it led to D’Souza being personally attacked on the president’s website, BarackObama.com.

Undeterred, D’Souza continued his call for thoughtful patriotism with his 2014 #1 New York Times bestselling book, America: Imagine A World Without Her. In the book, he explores the landscape of a world in which America had lost the Revolutionary War. Is America a source of p***e, as Americans have long held, or shame, as progressives allege?

The wild success of the book led to a film with the same name, which opened in theaters on the 4th of July, 2014 with an A+ Cinemascore rating. America, which Jon Voight says “every patriotic American must see” and Sarah Palin says “we must support” is now available for shipping on DVD/Blu-Ray/Digital HD.

In the fall of 2014, D’Souza found himself hauled into federal court for improperly donating money to a friend who was running for the Senate. D’Souza pleaded guilty, apologized for his offense, and was sentenced to eight months in a state-run confinement center near his home in San Diego. D’Souza’s prolonged exposure to the hardened criminal underclass provided an eye-opening education in American realities.

Applying the hardboiled perspective that he learned in confinement to American politics, D’Souza saw that America is becoming less exceedingly exceptional every day. Indeed, it is in danger of becoming just like India and other corrupt third world nations, run by gangs of kleptocrats. As for American liberalism, it is not a movement of ideas at all; it is but a series of s**ms and cons aimed at nothing less than stealing the wealth of the American people.

In D’Souza’s timely, fresh, provocative, and entertaining new book, Stealing America, D’Souza explains how his experience in political captivity not only changed his life, but fundamentally t***sformed his perception of his adopted country. Stealing America was released on November 17 and already has a favorability rating of almost 90% on Amazon.

D’Souza’s many endeavors—not to mention a razor-sharp wit and entertaining style—have allowed him to participate in highly-publicized debates about Christianity with some of the most famous atheists and skeptics of our time, including Christopher Hitchens:

One of D’Souza’s favorite venues for debates and speeches has been college campuses. During the past 25 years, he has appeared at hundreds of colleges and universities, and has spoken with hundreds of thousands of students in these live settings.

D’Souza has been named one of America’s most influential conservative thinkers by the New York Times Magazine. The World Affairs Council lists him as one of the nation’s 500 leading authorities on international issues, and Newsweek cited him as one of the country’s most prominent Asian-Americans.

D’Souza’s articles have appeared in virtually every major magazine and newspaper, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic Monthly, Vanity Fair, New Republic, Forbes, and National Review. He has appeared on numerous television programs, including the The Today Show, Nightline, The Kelly File, The News Hour on PBS, The O’Reilly Factor, Moneyline, Hannity, Bill Maher, NPR’s All Things Considered, The Glenn Beck Program, CNBC’s Kudlow Report, Lou Dobbs Tonight, and Real Time with Bill Maher.

Saltwind - open your eyes, Obama is a slug, out to destroy the U.S.A. !!!!!!!!

Did you just crawl out from under a rock somewhere, 78?

Dinesh is a pretty smart guy. Too bad our e*****rate don't pay more heed to him. :hunf:

"Slug," true, dafongi, but soooooo much more; starting as a 3rd generation "red-diaper" baby on both maternal and paternal sides; although the biological dad and grandpa were also MUCH more Arab Muslim than the small % of African; most probably from the Arab s***e-trading business' that was quite profitable and quite fulfilling for horny Arab "Barbary" pirates as the total masters of the many chained young African s***e girls they were t***sporting long, long distances a few centuries ago. I'd be willing to bet the pirates NEVER wore protection!!!

MW,

Have you kept current with this guy???

On September 23, Dinesh D’Souza will appear before a federal judge in Manhattan to learn whether he will do jail time for violating campaign-finance law. (He pleaded guilty earlier this year to charges of funneling $20,000 to a friend’s Senate campaign via straw donors.) It will be the latest turn in a remarkable life that has embodied—perhaps more than any other—the passions and commitments of the modern conservative movement.

Yet even as he has expanded his influence, D’Souza has been shadowed by scandal. Along with the campaign-finance case, he lost the presidency of an evangelical college amid allegations of adultery. It is all too tempting to see in this a correlative of intellectual conservatism itself, its dark underside, its extremist gestures.

At 53, he now shares stages with Sarah Palin and addresses throngs of “guys who have open shirts and tattoos and wear funny hats and drive bikes of a kind I would never get on.”

About 20% of Americans were, and always will be American patriots, Elwood, and pay strict attention to; "the wheels of justice that spin slow, but grind exceedingly fine." Our native civilization's inhabitants can certainly be deceived by deadly non-native species, occasionally, and "WE" have noticed, to the point of extinction with some animal and plant species over the centuries. This is our 21st century Western free-market culture's first "experiment" with a non-native species of a 5th century, rather barbaric natured humankind, and the research is nearly complete; but the existing diagnosis will not be pleasant for the non-assimilating, non-native interlopers. Oh, bad luck, Cynthia!!!

Karl??? Saul??? Is that you???

robmull Loc: florida

Notice the strong eye contact with that hand-shake. I can almost feel the limp, cold hand attached to that nearly fully extended arm. Can you??? Firm, strong eye contact, the true character of a real, honest-to-goodness American patriotic hand-shake!!! Hummmmmmmmm. What's wrong with THAT picture??? God, you would almost think that "BHB" was actually partially shaking-hands with a damn "enemy" Republican. Hummmmmmm, again. Who IS that guy??? Check out the limp wrist!!!

At least when you cut and paste you might think about “editing” the piece to change it from, “On September 23, Dinesh D’Souza WILL APPEAR before a federal judge…” to, “...Dinesh D’Souza APPEARED before a federal judge…” And you didn’t mention that it happened over a year ago and the fact that it was mentioned in my post.

“In the fall of 2014, D’Souza found himself hauled into federal court for improperly donating money to a friend who was running for the Senate. D’Souza pleaded guilty, apologized for his offense, and was sentenced to eight months in a state-run confinement center near his home in San Diego.”

And let’s see, D’Souza plead guilty for improperly donating $20 THOUSAND to a friend who was running for the Senate and was sentenced to eight months in a state-run confinement center yet what happened to Barack Obama amid reports that his website Obama.com steered users to the president's campaign donation website, getting most of its traffic from foreign countries, raising questions about the legality of TENS OF MILLIONS of small dollar donations to his 2012 campaign? Do you think it might be payback like the IRS for D'Souza not showing Obama in a favorable light?
