Dinesh D'Souza explains why Obama hates traditional values

for those who don't know, Dinesh D'Souza's traditional values include getting engaged to ladies while he is still married to other ladies.

Now here his theories why Obama, who is married to one lady and not engaged to anyone else, hates traditional values.

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/dsouza-obama-attacking-traditional-values-sex-scandal

Why is Obama on the social issues — and I’m thinking here of abortion, I’m thinking here of gay marriage — why is Obama so aggressive in attacking the traditional values agenda? I think the reason for it is because when Obama thinks about colonialism, about the British and the French who went abroad to conquer other countries, or earlier the Spanish and the Portuguese, I come from a part of India that was a Portuguese colony at one time, I think for Obama colonialism is identified not just with the soldiers but also with the missionaries. Remember it’s the missionaries that went alongside the conquerors, the conquistadors, came to the Americas and worked on converting the Indians and later missionaries went to China, India and Japan. So I think this is the problem, Obama doesn’t like traditional Christianity because he identifies it with colonialism. Obama’s own Christianity is more of a Third World liberation theology, a very different kind of Jeremiah Wright type philosophy, summarized in the idea that America is the rogue nation in the world.

(...)

Ultimately there’s a political divide in this country but underneath that is a moral divide, and underneath that is a spiritual divide. I think that the deepest problems facing America and the West in the end are not political, they are spiritual. This is why it makes sense even as we debate policy issues, even as we debate moral issues, to turn to the maker of the universe, this maker of the universe that isn’t just an absentee God like Obama’s dad, a kind of absentee father who got things going and then took off but a God who cares about each one of us and certainly about our country.


Update: In a recent interview with pastor Jack Hibbs, D'Souza reiterated his theory that Obama supports abortion rights and marriage equality because he has a "pathological hatred for traditional Christianity" because it is a symbol of colonialism and that Democrats are eager to discredit his film because if Obama's worldview is understood, nobody will vote for him:

8. Of course! Cons have eliminated facts so people are allowed to BELIEVE whatever they want.

It's all about "I believe the sky is green and the grass is blue, and that's my opinion, and the first amendment entitles me to it."

They've shit all over the first amendment and changed it's meaning to "My lies are just as valid as your truth."

12. Unfortunately, yes. His movie, "2016" earned more than $26 million at the box office....

...and cost $14 million to make.

In fairness, I don't know how many people already believed what D’Souza proposed in his movie before they bought tickets, nor how many went to see the movie out of curiosity. I also don't know if the movie converted anyone to D'Souza's point of view, or drove some away.

Just my opinion? He's a slimeball, and probably getting money under the table from a GOP operative like Rove, or someone like him.

makes no god damn sense at all. You're damn right the left has a rage against colonialism. You're god damn right we see America as an aggressor, after a decade of George Bush's unnecessary wars.

D'inesh can suck my D'ick.
