About this ebook
Republicans have used every propaganda trick to bring down President Obama, from claiming he was not born in the U.S. to claiming he is motivated by Kenyan anticolonialism.
Mitt Romney is so weak he cannot exert moral authority over birthers. Romney joined the chorus of shameful attacks on the President. Romney bragged that no one asked to see his birth certificate.
Republicans have harmful policies that would do away with Medicare and Social Security. The Republican answer to their status as a minority party is to enact laws calculated to Suppress Democratic Votes and Intimidate Voters.
Romney's selection of Paul Ryan as V.P. is a disaster. The Right Wing base loves Ryan, but moderates, independents and women do not trust Ryan or his austere budget for the Middle Class and the poor, "The Path to Prosperity" for plutocrats.
Dinesh D'Souza and Newt Gingrich claim President Obama adopts policies because of Obama's Kenyan anticolonialism. The reason D'Souza sells his delusion in the U.S. is that the people in Bombay will not pay for rubbish.
For Dinesh D'Souza, Paul Ryan and Republicans in general, the goal is to protect rich people from poor people taking away the money of rich people. The latter preoccupation results in battalions of pundits rallying around a material-istic and sterile cause called "Conservativism".
Of course, there are patriotic slogans and references to libery, free enterprise and the entrepreneurial spirit thrown into the mix for rallying effect.
The bottom line, however, is money and what money can buy. The gloss of libery and First Amendment freedoms is a thin veneer adorned with flags.
What is sad is that Conservatives act as though it is necessary to defame Progressives in order to safeguard the money of Oligarchs. After surviving four bankruptcies,Donald Trump managed to retain enough wealth to qualify as the drum major of the "birther" brigade.
The Republican Campaign Committee feeds propaganda to their robotic candidate. Mitt Romney tells us that Barack Obama is "foreign".
John H. Sununu gives affirmation by wishing Obama "would learn to be an American".
Sununu could never be president, having been born in Havana, Cuba, of a Lebanese mother and a Palestinian father. How American is that!

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Horrible hit piece. Nothing more. I can’t understand why everyone, on all sides of the aisle, doesn’t want to be informed. They cling to their beliefs like a blankey.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I think Paul Covell is a delusional and brainwashed by the OLD GUARD LIBERAL LEFT. Perhaps he should consult a mental deprogammer.

Newt Gingrich, National Review Online.
Preface
Motivation for writing this book is not merely Dinesh D’Souza’s delusion. The world could survive by ignoring D’Souza. Danger arises, however, when guileful political leaders fall prey to D’Souza’s pipedreams. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich seems entranced by the reverie D’Souza entertained on the genesis Barack Obama’s policies. One source of Gingrich’s fallacy appears to be the Roots of Obama’s Rage. It seems that Gingrich is convinced of D’Souza’s delusion that Obama’s political decisions are the product of Obama’s Kenyan anti-colonialism—an elastic concept that can take whatever form the immediate phantasm requires.
Pardon us for suggesting an equally ludicrous hypothesis. Maybe Barack Obama is under the gravitational pull of the moon? Before dismissing the possibility that the Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act resulted from the lunar orbit, and not Kenyan anti-colonialism, we should at least look at the East African influence, if any, on our President’s policies.
Analysis of the bona fides of D’Souza and Gingrich leaves lingering doubts about the legitimacy of their purposes. Folks might excuse Gingrich for saying almost anything because the man is running for president. When he is not running, Newt merely wants to be relevant in some sort of political way to the Republican who would be president. When Gingrich gets caught saying something outrageous or verifiably false, he backs away with the excuse, ‘Gee, I’m just a nearly 70-year old grandfather (looking for forgiveness)’.
It is not for one writer to judge another as delusional. Nor does D’Souza appear to be clinically impaired. The problem is that the words D’Souza writes frequently appear to be the product of a hallucination. In looking at D’Souza’s theories, one suspects that even D’Souza does not believe the nonsense he spouts.
To see the scope of the peril facing the Nation on the political front, we must view D’Souza’s contributions as a few distorted chips in a larger mosaic of dishonesty by the greater G.O.P. entourage that is assaulting the electorate with the Big Lie. In evaluating pundits and politicians, there is an adage as old as the history of finance. "Follow the money".
Oligarchs and plutocrats doubtless want to hold onto their wealth. Warren Buffet’s donation of more than $30 billion to the Bill And Malinda Gates Foundation is the exception rather than the rule. Charles Koch, David Koch and Sheldon Adelson and their associates contributed upwards of $400 million to Republicans in the 2012 Presidential and Congressional Campaign, to make sure that "government of the people, by the people, for the people", if it does not perish under a flood of political propaganda ads, will at a minimum not result in a tax increase aimed at the upper two percent.
There are two major methods of enjoying wealth. One is to make money yourself, buy the toys that delight and invest the balance
