The "cultural left" who, by its failure to stone homosexuals to death in the public square, and its insistence on speaking so freely and having so much sex, provoked the violence of crazy Muslims, giving them no choice but to kill us en masse. What were we thinking? Did we believe we could just not stone homosexuals and everything would be all right?

D'Souza is a pretty astonishing piece of crap. He was the source of Newt's odd "Kenyan anti-colonial worldview" characterization of Obama, by way of this really, really, astonishingly slipshod and ridiculous piece of writing: forbes.com A bit of D'Souza's incredibly penetrating analysis: Clearly the anticolonial ideology of Barack Obama Sr. goes a long way to explain the actions and policies of his son in the Oval Office. And we can be doubly sure about his father's influence because those who know Obama well testify to it. His "granny" Sarah Obama (not his real grandmother but one of his grandfather's other wives) told Newsweek, "I look at him and I see all the same things--he has taken everything from his father. The son is realizing everything the father wanted. The dreams of the father are still alive in the son." Obama Sr. left when Obama Jr. was 2. Obama Sr. visited Obama Jr. exactly once, when Jr. was 11 years old. But apparently some strange Vulcan mind meld took place then. That's about what would be needed to justify D'Souza's completely fabricated analysis. Of course, D'Souza completely fabricated Obama Sr.'s views too, since Obama Sr. seems to have about one surviving piece of writing known. So much crap, so little time.
