Question

http://media.www.dailynorthwestern.com/media/storage/paper853/news/2007/11/08/Campus/Conservative.Author.Says.U.s.Culture.War.Caused.Iraq.Conflict-3087948.shtml

I've read this fishwrap twice and can't decide if D'Souza is D'Ceitful or merely D'Simple....

@ writersblock: You should make that "if we all become xians" observation into a question, I'd love to see the answers.

Answer 1

Nope, I'm still laying the blame squarely on the terrorists that hijacked the planes.

And I think anyone who uses the tragedy of 9-11 to sell books is one of the most despicable types of human. I wonder if they ever stop to think that they are opening up the wounds of the surviving family members.

Answer 2

yep, he's a racist and well moderate muslim alright. But this goes to tell you that even moderate religious people are the same problem as the extremists and even worse because they provide fertile ground for those who have a tendency towards extremism by promoting such irrational ideas. The fool is saying that since america approves of gay marriage and atheism, the idiots of 9/11 had a reason to blow themselves and the twin towers up.
What sort of reational person will make such an irrational statement? Only a religious moderate. By the way, look how that strategy has worked, huh.
Stupid. Religious people do **** me off

Answer 3

I HATE links.

"A "culture war" in America between religion and atheism is the underlying cause of the war on terror, political commentator Dinesh D'Souza told a crowd of about 150 people Wednesday night at Harris Hall."

I also noticed a lot of liberal name-calling in that article. Hasn't it dawned on you YET that the 9-11 muslims SAID the same thing back in '01? This isn't news. it's just more conservative-bashing by the insane Liberal Left.

I suppose that tells us all who and what you are.

Answer 4

You have to factor in that D'Nutter was a Reagan advisor AND closely associated with Ann Coulter - this chappie is quite insane.

" "Who is going to win the war in Iraq?" D'Souza said. "You don't have to be a West Point graduate to see there is actually no way to lose." "
This shows he has no grasp on reality.
1. There is no WAR in Iraq - I clearly remember the USian Commander-in-Thief standing on the deck of a large boat saying "we won".
2. What is happening in Iraq is that Plan A has unravelled quickly and there never was any Plan B.
3. Vietnam.
4. Sons and Daughters coming home in body-bags.
5. The truth of why the war was started by the US (let’s not forget who started it) was wrapped in lies and deceit.

Like all conservatives, including fundies, D'Nutter has a way of leaving out bulk truth and building speculative assertions on half-truths and straight out lies.
It takes special brain warping to become a conservative and or fundie.

Answer 5

because many human beings associate Al Queda with 911 properly, notwithstanding the talk over the justification for conflict has change into so polluted that many human beings can now no longer distiguish the necessary information. considering many human beings are literally not overly politically minded they oftentimes settle for what they hear as reality. once a fantasy is began in our lifestyle that is extremely hard to dispel. finally, polling documents will be skewed in any direction through ways you ask the question, and as a generic rule that is now now to not be relied on from both fringe of the political spectrum. NoSunHere: Your fact extra positive describes Dan Quayle than George Bush. Quayle spelled Potato "Potatoe" which made him the butt of many jokes for a lengthy time period following.

Answer 6

D'souza is an outrageous neocon. The religious right eats this stuff up. This is the same horrible bile that Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell were spouting on 9/12, blaming it on homosexuals and liberals.

He's a brown male version of Anne Coulter
Ignore him...he is irrelevant.

Answer 7

Yes, and you ought to be ashamed of yourself. ;)

Actually D'Souza is just an idiot that blames everything he doesn't agree with on the left and those of us that don't believe in Jeebus like he does.

The fault of 9/11 rests more on America's foreign policy and their support of Israel than anything else. I'm not saying that's the only reason but it's a big part of it.

Answer 8

isn't it funny how humans can justify anything to fit in their beliefs or actions they want to take! i always let people like this remind me not to do just the same thing. its easy to fall into that trap & not even see you are in a trap.

and with that same justification, if we were all good christians like george bush, the terrorist would still find some justification for doing what they did. just like how a select few americans justified supporting & funding the IRA, even though some of their tactics were the same as those that attacked us. but that's a whole other subject that we wont get into. anyway the point I'm trying to make is that terrorists tactics can be and have been used by anyone for any reason. and to argue down every little and big thing one does to 'deserve' this or 'encourage' this just gets silly and messy.

but if you look at his background, he came to america from a foreign cultural, he was not born here but yet he had to learn how to live here. now many immigrants have done so without turning out like him. but from my experience my dad moved to the usa when he was younger than d'souza and from bit by bit i gathered that at the time their was enormous pressure to fit in & conform, especially since it was in a small town with segregation. so my dad has been essentially americanized, but only to a certain degree that is/was limited to the value system of a small town in the south. my friends mother also would not teach her children her native language for fear of it 'separating' them from the rest of her mother's perception of what americans do ( or speak). d'souza seems to be lost in that as well, only with a lot more gusto & more education.

but anyway it only gets better when you know what else he has been up to & saying...
1. snitching on gays in college
2. that bishops were used by liberals to tear down the military & the use of usa power in foreign countries (now here we get to some real hypocrisy, since there are some terrorist who feel that the usa exerts TOO much power in their country & surrounding neighbors for our own purposes & therefore we need to be attacked back)
3. that many african americans (although i hate that label) are not moving forward because they idealize the rebellion of slavery & still do. (i guess it has nothing to do with segregation was only just a law in many parts of america in the 60's and that many people who opposed it, loved it or just blindly followed are still alive & have passed down what it was like to younger generations (& running our country). or that Mississippi just made the complete & final step of outlawing slavery in the early 90's. not to mention that this lingering defiance that many blacks & non- blacks share(d) opened up the laws & prejudices for someone of d'souza's skin & background to be able to carry on the way that he does)
4. states that not all culturals are equal like some 'stupid' americans believe. he believes that some culturals have outperformed others by the fact that they have provided things that all people seek/need (i guess it has nothing to do with who has the bigger guns or army. and he seems to take for granted that 'all' are actually getting this equally??? what fantasy world does he live in?)
5. this is not the last on the list but it is for this answer. that americans are too critical (what the h*ll is he then?) and take america for granted (i guess he doesn't or refuses to understand the use of constant vigilance. what would happen if we all just complacently stood by, & said 'well so far life is good & fair so why question the road we are headed.)

oooof. but of course he is only doing this to save us & instill some lacking morals we have about not believing in an 'external entity' and letting gays fully live in society. im sure he has no other underlying motives.

clearly its our fault as a society as a whole & every single individual. especially you weemaryanne ;-)

Answer 9

I think they call it "blame the victim." Like people who say that rape is caused by a woman having too short a skirt or too low a neckline. And of course we atheists are to blame: if everybody believed in God, this world would be perfect, right??????????

Answer 10

It's all the fault of Hollywood and atheists, it seems.

And the war in Iraq can't possibly be lost.
Once a person has said that, they really don't need any attention paying to them.
