| 92d36dd | Recall that this is the first time that America truly had a "generation gap," a chasm between parents and children. In previous generations, children wanted to be like their parents. They wanted, as quickly as possible, to grow up and become adults. In the 1960s, however, children regarded themselves as morally superior to their parents, even while indulging in irresponsible behaviors like lawlessness and drug-taking that their parents had .. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| de326d7 | So traumatic is the idea of jumping out of a window [of a burning building] that it is easier to pretend the fire will never reach us. It is the same with death: we know it is approaching, but we act as if it is never going to come. The vast majority of us, especially here in the west, construct our lives based on the denial of death. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| e829b68 | There is the story of the English vicar who was asked whether he expected to go to heaven, and what he thought he would find there. "Well, I suppose I believe in eternal bliss, if it comes to that," he replied, "but I wish you wouldn't bring up such depressing subjects." | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| bbe3ac5 | This was a key condition the racists put before FDR. They said they would not support FDR's New Deal programs unless FDR supported their effort to block Republican anti-lynching bills. So FDR convinced even northern Democrats and progressives to back their southern counterparts in keeping these bills from coming to the floor for a vote.40 This is one of the most disgraceful legacies of the FDR presidency and it goes virtually unmentioned in.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 708e713 | In order to give man freedom and enable human choices to have consequences, God creates for man an independent, lawful universe. The freedom of man requires, it turns out, the self-limitation of God as well as the independence of the world. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||

| 6d086c3 | PARTNERS IN CRIME HOW THE CLINTONS WENT FROM DEAD BROKE TO FILTHY RICH And the money kept rolling in from every side. --Song from the musical Evita The quotation above refers to the Juan and Evita Peron Foundation, established in 1948 by Evita Peron for the purpose of helping Argentina's poor. Evita professed to be a champion of the campesinos--the wretched workers who lived in shanties on the outskirts of Buenos Aires--and they trusted Evi.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||

| 9f39ba3 | Once we understand Hillary as single-mindedly pursuing her own interest and financial gain, we can for the first time make sense of recent Clinton scandals. Consider the email scandal. What we know is that Hillary created and maintained an entirely private email server, insulated from her State Department requirements. This took great effort and required the collaboration of a whole team of aides as well as State Department bureaucrats. Why.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 3c74f6b | Leftists in the universities insist that conservatives lack commitment to diversity. So diversity becomes the pretext for progressives to root out the little intellectual and ideological diversity that remains on campus.3 | Dinesh D'Souza | ||

| 173438c | In other words, the atheist bloodbath is the product of a hubristic modern ideology that sees man, not God, as the creator of values. In rejecting God, man becomes scornful of the doctrine of human sinfulness and convinced of the perfectibility of his nature. Man now seeks to displace God and create a secular utopia here on earth. In order to achieve this, the atheist rulers establish total control of society. They invent a form of totalita.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||

| af2285a | Through a process of transference, leftists blame their victims for being and doing what they themselves are and do. In a sick inversion, the real fascists in American politics masquerade as anti-fascists and accuse the real anti-fascists of being fascists. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| aa60442 | Hitler's concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality of genocide owed much, so he claimed, to his studies of English and United States history. He admired the camps for Boer prisoners in South Africa and for the Indians in the Wild West, and often praised to his inner circle the efficiency of America's extermination--by starvation and uneven combat--of the red savages who could not be tamed by captivity."9" | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| a4d99bb | I am glad that the horrid Democrat, Jackson, will be replaced with a Republican heroine, Harriet Tubman, on the twenty-dollar bill in 2020. Trump, like Reagan, is a former Democrat, and I imagine his enthusiasm for Jackson is partly driven by the Democratic Party's earlier hagiography of Jackson and partly by Jackson's current vilification at the hands of many left-wing progressives. Yet even progressives can occasionally be correct, and in.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 16c4bf4 | Mussolini and Hitler became "right-wingers," and the people who supposedly brought them to power became "conservatives." The Left, then, became the glorious resisters of fascism and Nazism. To make this story work, fascism and Nazism had to be largely redefined." | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| db2dcb5 | Jackson's real estate shenanigans became a hot topic in his 1828 presidential campaign. Even earlier, in 1824, his opponents suspected him of profiting from political office but they were unable to produce convincing evidence. By 1828, however, Jackson's critics had gotten smarter and more determined. Jackson, however, was ready for them. On December 4, 1827, a fire broke out in the building containing Jackson's financial papers. Convenient.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 6fbec74 | On another occasion, Alinsky was working in his home base of Chicago to force Chicago's department stores to give jobs to black activists who were Alinsky's cronies. On this issue of course Alinsky was competing--or working in tandem, however we choose to view it--with Chicago's number one racial shakedown man, Jesse Jackson. Jackson mastered a simple strategy of converting race into a protection racket. He would offer to "protect" Chicago .. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 03ff099 | John Locke says that whatever other tasks a government undertakes--whether humanitarian or otherwise--its primary duty is to protect its own citizens from foreign and domestic thugs. That isn't fascism; it's classical liberalism. Similarly, | Dinesh D'Souza | ||

| 40a644d | Actually, we do have our Mengele, and his name is Kermit Gosnell. Since 1979, Gosnell ran an abortion clinic called the Women's Medical Society in West Philadelphia. There he performed late-term abortions and partial-birth abortions, mostly on poor women. If by some mistake children were born alive, Gosnell killed them in a process he termed "ensuring fetal demise." Gosnell's preferred technique for abortion was to heavily drug the prematur.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 48d6350 | A Rationale for Violence At first, I thought I was merely witnessing the shocked aftermath of a shocking election. The Left did not expect Trump to win. As late as October 20, 2016, the American Prospect published an article, "Trump No Longer Really Running for President," the theme of which was that Trump's "real political goal is to make it impossible for Hillary Clinton to govern." The election result was, in the words of columnist David.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||

| 4b3b88f | Hillary's America was met with outrage on the Left, but no one could rebut a single fact in the book or movie. Even my most incriminating allegations proved invulnerable. I noted that, in 1860, the year before the Civil War, no Republican owned a slave; all the four million slaves at the time were owned by Democrats. Now this generalization could easily be refuted by someone providing a list of Republicans who owned slaves. The Left couldn'.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 0f49b57 | It seems at this point that we have established the existence of a creator, but nothing can be known about the nature of that creator. I submit that this is not so. Many attributes of the creator remain unknown or hidden, but there are some conclusions that we can reasonably draw from what we know. As the universe was produced by a creative act, it is reasonable to infer that it was produced by some sort of mind. Mind is the origin of matte.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| f9e98b4 | FDR is the canonized hero of American progressivism. Subsequent Democratic presidents, from Lyndon Johnson to Obama, have all sought to expand the power of the state by invoking the FDR model. Johnson | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 6eed291 | For most Democrats, the topic is both touchy and distasteful. It's one thing to rob from the rich but quite another to rob from the poorest of the poor. Some of the Democratic primary support for Bernie Sanders was undoubtedly due to Democrats' distaste over the financial shenanigans of the Clintons. Probably these Democrats considered the Clintons to be unduly grasping and opportunistic, an embarrassment to the great traditions of the Demo.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 5484461 | We can see this quite clearly if we follow the fortunes of Hillary Clinton. She is a woman who has clearly had fortuna on her side, and in addition, she and her husband have ingeniously and ruthlessly manipulated their circumstances for personal gain. Hillary | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 4191228 | In the sixteenth century the Reformation introduced a new idea. This was the notion that knowledge is not simply the province of ecclesiastical institutions but that, especially when it comes to matters of conscience, each man should decide for himself. The "priesthood of the individual believer" was an immensely powerful notion because it rejected the papal hierarchy, and by implication all institutional hierarchy as well. Ultimately it wa.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 17fb853 | Is the cosmos all there is, or was, or ever will be? Of course not. That idea is complete nonsense, and from a man who should have known better. The laws of nature give "no hint" of a divine plan or creator? How could Steven Weinberg have made an assertion as foolish as that? To the dogmatic atheist, it seems like science fiction, or a recurrent nightmare. But there's no getting around the scientific fact. The finding of modern physics that.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| d86718f | Copernicus, who was a canon in the cathedral of Krakow, celebrated astronomy as "a science more divine than human" and viewed his heliocentric theory as revealing God's grand scheme for the cosmos. Boyle was a pious Anglican who declared scientists to be on a divinely appointed mission to serve as "priests of the book of nature." Boyle's work includes both scientific studies and theological treatises. In his will he left money to fund a ser.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 5eb7b49 | Now it must be said that when a major political party basically rejects the outcome of a free election, we are in uncharted territory. This happened in the United States once before, of course, in 1860, when the same party, the Democrats, refused to accept the election of Abraham Lincoln. The result was a bloody civil war. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 67464f0 | While Margaret Sanger was an avid eugenicist, today Planned Parenthood celebrates her as a champion of "choice." One is hard pressed to find references to eugenics in Planned Parenthood brochures featuring Sanger's pioneering role in the organization. This is all part of the big lie; the real Sanger opposed choice. As we have seen, she demanded that rich, educated, and "fit" populations must have more children and poor, uneducated, and "unf.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| be88413 | As the universe comprises the totality of nature, containing everything that is natural, its creator must necessarily be outside nature. As the creator used no natural laws or forces to create the universe, the creator is clearly supernatural. As space and time are within the universe, the creator is also outside space and time, which is to say, eternal. As the universe is material, the creator is immaterial, which is to say, spiritual. As .. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| a3a8a90 | In 1818, Jackson spied a real estate opportunity in Florida. The opportunity was created by marauding Indians conducting raids from Spanish Florida. The Monroe administration sent Jackson to Florida to stop the raids. Jackson declared his purpose to "chastise" the Indians, which in his parlance meant to kill them. Although he had been specifically instructed to deal with the Indians and not occupy Spanish land, Jackson entered West Florida,.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| cb0cae5 | Jackson's illicit action caused a stir in Washington, but many ordinary people cheered Jackson. By now they knew the routine. Jackson takes land, chases off the Indians, and then we get to buy it at fire-sale prices. This was the American Dream, in the version created by the founder of the Democratic Party. The Monroe administration backed down, and once again Jackson found himself in a position to win the allegiance of future voters while .. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| da27bc6 | Is this too harsh a verdict? I wouldn't go so far as to say the Clintons don't care about Haiti. Yet it seems clear that Haitian welfare is not their priority. Their priority is, well, themselves. The Clintons seem to believe in Haitian reconstruction and Haitian investment as long as these projects match their own private economic interests. They have steered the rebuilding of Haiti in a way that provides maximum benefit to themselves. No .. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| f386a6d | Jackson had been a slave owner since his early days as a young lawyer in Tennessee. His first slave was a woman named Nancy. The record of the sale notes that "Andrew Jackson Esquire" took ownership of "a Negro Woman about Eighteen or Twenty Years of Age."33 Later, as Jackson grew rich and his real estate multiplied, he bought slaves to work that land. Altogether, Jackson owned some three hundred slaves over the course of his life. The most.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| f57ddf9 | An indignant Jackson and his supporters formed the Democratic Party, while his opponents coalesced into a rival Whig Party. These were the two parties that dominated American politics for the next few decades, until the Whig Party collapsed and the Republican Party was founded. The Whigs, led by the stalwart Henry Clay, provided modest though largely ineffective resistance to Jackson. Until the founding of the Republican Party, however, the.. | Dinesh D'Souza |
