One of the funnier freeper comments you'll ever read:
On Gingrich saying Obama exhibits ‘Kenyan, Anticolonial Behavior’



“Personally, I think his assessment is dead-on target.”

I agree. And it is a bit scary. The more I see how this country reacts to an anti-colonialist the more in awe I am of our Founding Fathers, the single most competent group of men ever assembled.

I am so thankful to be an American.

Um, yeah. Those founding fathers just loved living in an British colony.

13. They don't know the meaning of many words.
Doesn't stop them from shrieking those words ad nauseam though.

totally amazing.

5. sf, I recall someone -a sociologist?- polling on whether people approve/dissaproved of
various points concerning speech, etc - Turned out they were polled on the bil of rights, and it flunked.

People thought it was some terrible communist group looking for signatures and support...some of the pollers were threatened, IIRC.

17. I must show this to my son (in 8th grade). they are covering the American Revolution right now,
he absolutely loves it, and they are doing simulations as well.

Hell, I'm tempted to print it out for him so that he can show the teacher. But right now, I have a cramp from laughter.

25. Newt isn't capable of original thought...
all that "Kenyan Anticolonial" bullshit came from Dinesh D'Sousa.


"From the anticolonial perspective, American imperialism is on a rampage. For a while, U.S. power was checked by the Soviet Union, but since the end of the Cold War, America has been the sole superpower. Moreover, 9/11 provided the occasion for America to invade and occupy two countries, Iraq and Afghanistan, and also to seek political and economic domination in the same way the French and the British empires once did. So in the anticolonial view, America is now the rogue elephant that subjugates and tramples the people of the world.

It may seem incredible to suggest that the anticolonial ideology of Barack Obama Sr. is espoused by his son, the President of the United States. That is what I am saying. From a very young age and through his formative years, Obama learned to see America as a force for global domination and destruction. He came to view America's military as an instrument of neocolonial occupation. He adopted his father's position that capitalism and free markets are code words for economic plunder. Obama grew to perceive the rich as an oppressive class, a kind of neocolonial power within America. In his worldview, profits are a measure of how effectively you have ripped off the rest of society, and America's power in the world is a measure of how selfishly it consumes the globe's resources and how ruthlessly it bullies and dominates the rest of the planet."

D'Souza is apparently the rising intellectual (?) star on the right. Check this out...

"Dinesh D’Souza, known to conscientious commentators everywhere as “Distort D’Newsa,” has been – for far too long – one of the Right’s rising stars. Known for his bigoted-sounding theories on race, gender, and sexuality, D’Souza has been flown around to college campus after college campus by his benefactors at Young America’s Foundation and The Heritage Foundation, spewing his shock-value material to budding college conservatives.

D’Souza’s rise is the perfect illustration of the success that right-wing foundations have had in cultivating a generation of conservative thinkers and leaders by throwing money at them, supporting their academic work, and hooking them up with internships, government jobs, and the right conservative network.

A darling of the right-wing-campus-newspaper-backing Collegiate Network, D’Souza helped found the infamous ultra-conservative Dartmouth Review as an undergrad. Under D’Souza’s “leadership,” The Review ran notoriously tasteless, bigoted, and just downright offensive articles of all stripes. Among his signature pieces: a parody of African American students at Dartmouth entitled “This Sho Ain’t No Jive Bro”; an interview with a Ku Klux Klan member featuring a graphic of a hanged black man; and selected words of wisdom from Adolf Hitler. The Review consistently referred to gay men as sodomites, and D’Souza himself publicly outed one gay student in an article based on stolen correspondence between members of the Dartmouth Gay Student Alliance.

With his journalistic career on the upswing (if not the up and up), D’Souza was hired as the editor of Prospect, a magazine started by a conservative Princeton alum. D’Souza’s stint as editor helped him expand his already outrageous repertoire to include a sexist attack on the field of women’s studies. Also while he was editor, the magazine published an expose of a female undergrad’s sex life without her permission."

Read the whole article to know the enemy...
