Still looking for that fight, Lowell?
No. I think that is exactly what Berton is trying to do.

For Pat:

I guess one can be forgiven for not knowing american history, right down to the reasons, the problems and the trevails of writing a constitution. Maybe even for misinterpreting the pablum offferred them in in academic history classes. Not so much for believing the kind of crap you have posted but some, even for that.

But to deny the history of the times you have lived through, events you have witnessed with your own lying damn eyes is unforgivable.

I have just one question for you.

In the years after the civil rights acts why did the solid democratic south become the solid republican south?
Stoned,

I suppose I should have written "The Inconvenient Truth" as the tile of my thread. I don't know why you attack me for posting the historical facts that have led us up the path of democrat party hatred for the black population. History is what it is Stoned, attacking me or republicans for the guilt of your party will never get you over the truth. I suggest you actively pursue reforming the party and replacing those who continue to hold back black Americans. It's a shame that the democrats must work towards destroying an entire race in America as a vehicle to political power.
Fine. All you have to do is answer the one simple question I have proposed to you. I doubt you will as the answer would require both honesty and knowledge.

Both of which seem to in short supply among conservatives.

For Pat:

I am going to try to do something rarely done. I am going to refute your original post in its entirety and much of it will be because of what is not said merely implied about the "other". Not here, not right now. It is after all Christmas. You will know the thread when you see it. I have some faith (little) in your honesty as you very quietly dumped your fake Jefferson quote tagline.

First I will reply here to the first of your ten articles. D'Souza went to jail because he broke the law. Period. No amout of whining or excuse making can change that. And yes that is perhaps the primary function of this overbearing thing called government,,,,,,,,,,,enforcing the law and guys like D'Souza should stp breaking it.

In the mean time I am asking you to take a critical look at the esteemed author of your original post. It is indeed true that one is known by the company one keeps. All of what I offer here comes from a single source, Wikipedia.

On the catholic church:
Interviews with these bishops suggest that they know little or nothing about the ideas and proposals to which they are putting their signature and lending their religious authority. The bishops are unfamiliar with existing defense and economic programs, unable to identify even in general terms the Soviet military capability, ignorant of roughly how much of the budget currently goes to defense, unclear about how much should be reallocated to social programs, and innocent of the most basic concepts underlying the intelligent layman's discussion of these questions.


On 911

The cultural left in this country is responsible for causing 9/11 ... the cultural left and its allies in Congress, the media, Hollywood, the non-profit sector and the universities are the primary cause of the volcano of anger toward America that is erupting from the Islamic world.


On women
The feminist error was to embrace the value of the workplace as greater than the value of the home. Feminism has endorsed the public sphere as inherently more constitutive of women's worth than the private sphere. Feminists have established as their criterion of success and self-worth an equal representation with men at the top of the career ladder. The consequence of this feminist scale of values is a terrible and unjust devaluation of women who work at home.


On Abi Graib
D'Souza has argued the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandal was a result of "the sexual immodesty of liberal America". He further asserted that the conditions of prisoners at Abu Ghraib "are comparable to the accommodations in midlevel Middle Eastern hotels"


Personal life
In 1992, D'Souza married Dixie Brubaker, whom he first met when he worked in Washington, D.C. They have one daughter, born in 1995. In his book Life After Death: The Evidence, D'Souza stated that Dixie had a near-death experience at the age of 19.[115] The couple lived together in California until D'Souza moved to New York as president of King's College.[116] He maintained a residence near San Diego, where his wife and daughter remained.[117]

In an October 16, 2012, article in World Magazine, author Warren Cole Smith reported on D'Souza's activities after a September 28 talk that year in Spartanburg, South Carolina.[116] Smith said D'Souza, who was married at the time, checked into a hotel with another woman and left with her the following day. In his rebuttal, D'Souza said that he and his wife had separated. He confirmed that he had been engaged to Denise Odie Joseph—herself married to Louis Joseph. After an investigation by officials at King's College, D'Souza stated that he had suspended his engagement to Ms. Joseph.[3]

After D'Souza's engagement became public, the trustees of the King's College announced after meeting on October 17, 2012, that D'Souza had resigned his position as president of the university "to attend to his personal and family needs".[118] Smith noted that D'Souza filed for divorce on the date of Smith's inquiry. D'Souza and Brubaker subsequently divorced.[119][120][121]

D'Souza married Deborah Fancher, a conservative political activist and mother of two, on March 19, 2016.[122] The wedding was held near San Diego, California with Pastor Rafael Cruz, father of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), officiating. Fancher, 50, immigrated from Venezuela at age 10.[123]



Critical review

Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party[edit]
On July 25, 2016, D'Souza released the movie Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party.[98][99][100] The film criticizes the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton, the presumptive (and ultimate) Democratic nominee for President of the United States in 2016.[98][99][100][101] Film critic Peter Sobczynski wrote, “Hillary's America may well be the single dumbest documentary that I have ever seen in my life."[102]

A July 2016 review in Variety characterized D'Souza as "a right-wing conspiracy wingnut, the kind of “thinker” who takes off from Barack Obama birther theories and just keeps going, spinning out a web of comic-book liberal evil."[103]

Why don't you site a real source of information rather than a left wing unverified multi blog.

Wikipedia is a left wing multi blog where conservative views are not allowed much less the truth.

Colo doesn't understand Hillary is not forefront in Trump's mind.
Mainly because Trump's mind has no frontal lobes.

I would ask you to read and comment on this except for the fact that your brain cannot assimilate an argument longer than two sentences.

(lack of frontal lobes thing again.)

Go back to Brietbart you will be much happier,and stupider, there. Ignorance is bliss and you are very happy indeed!

[A] difference was found in the credibility of the articles — the experts found Wikipedia’s articles to be more credible than the non–experts. This suggests that the accuracy of Wikipedia is high. However, the results should not be seen as support for Wikipedia as a totally reliable resource as, according to the experts, 13 percent of the articles contain mistakes.

An overview of research, suggestions, and commonly held beliefs suggest that, in general, Wikipedia is quite accurate compared to textbooks (in the 80–90% range in many fields), even if not totally complete. Many fields are highly resistant to using it in any form of research, but for the most part, it is at least a good starting point for research and quick fact checks.

What a load of you-know-what.

You are correct about one thing - Conservative "views" are not allowed. Nor are liberal "views".

Wikipedia is not left wing or right wing. It's in the business of Facts, not Politics, nor opinions.

If you don't like what you read because it blows holes in your Right Wing Mantra, that is your problem, not theirs. And it doesn't make them Liberal.

Unless you accept the notion that Facts are just crutches that Liberals must lean on, since they don't have the Soaring Vision of America that belongs only to the Right.
