Big news for conservative writer Dinesh D’Souza. He was separated with his wife while engaged to a 29 year old woman, and now he’s lost his job as president of a Christian college. In any other college, it would be no big deal, but because it’s a Christian college, it was seen as highly improper, and he was forced out.
First, I want to say that even though I’m moderate, I’m a big fan of some of D’Souza’s work. The End of Racism was a great book, and the Illiberal Education was pretty good too. I haven’t checked out his movie.
In terms of the news about his ouster, I’m have an illiberal viewpoint. Even though I’m a godless heathen moderate, I actually agree that it’s not proper to be simultaneously married to someone and engaged to someone else. Having an open marriage is one thing–perfectly fine–but if you’re planning on divorcing your wife, just get it over and done with before moving on. Even though I’m not a Christian, I agree with the King’s College’s decision. If you’re a Christian organization, you have to have some rules of conduct in order to enable your leaders to lead. Christian organizations have too often fallen apart because of loose behavior. I don’t think D’Souza behaved immorally, since it was already understood that they were separated, but it was improper. And propriety is important for leaders, especially leaders of religious institutions.
That said, I hope D’Souza picks himself back up again. I enjoy reading his work, and I think he (sometimes) brings an important voice to political discussions.
Dinesh D’Souza is a liar and a bigot. I hope this is the end of this evil man’s horrible career.
bww – watch the movie! i think it’s on ppv or demand now.
but yeah, a lot of old(er) guys who seem smart, seem to screw up their careers b/c of some young(er) girl. No one ever learns.
Realistically speaking, how long can one stay at the top without leadership and capability decaying significantly? It’s even worse if the people around you begin to be filled with sycophants and careerists.
Part of being wise is knowing when to leave the party.
D’Souza is a cheap want to be academic and peddler of racist garbage.
The being said I did read his book Whats So Great About America.
It was a decent book and made a few good points such as America might have some racial problems but one must compare it to the rest of the world. Very few places have so many people from different coutries, ethnicities, backgrounds etc yet for the most part we all get along. Other places don’t have these problems because they don’t have diverse population we do.
That being said he doesn’t get or purposefully oblivious to challenges American born blacks have that some others don’t.
He seems like he is getting more Ann Coulterish by the day, he has sold his sole for the money being a hatemonger brings him.
I hope that 29 yearold takes him to the cleaners.
Good riddiance..Have no talent ..Talk some thing against some ones race and he in lime light..leave your children … and go and sleep with some other lady..
I think he is exposed of what he is..He just uses america for getting the lime light
sent him back to where he came from
You need to understand his psycho..
Selfishness to core. .Forget his children, Blame blacks .So his crime cant be seen or visble and also able to climb the social ladder fast..
Hmm, it looks like this man is much hated. There can be no smoke without a fire…
” … sent him back to where he came from …”
Hmm .. where and from whom have I heard that before?
@John Doe
To be fair though, the subject person in the original post thinks that colonalizm is the best thing to have happened (and loves his euro surname), not unlike some of the white rice-chasing commentors here.
@N,
“To be fair though, the subject person in the original post thinks that colonalizm is the best thing to have happened”
Thats not what’s at issue here. A White guy can say and do the most awful thing but “go back to where you came from” is never on the table why? The White buy could be second gen from Columbia, Germany where ever. I could go on … Yeah, Asians come in all shapes and sizes, good and bad.
i heard some bad things about this guy being a bootlicker.
@JD
I see where you’re coming from. I think it should be everyone’s duty to remind white Americans that they are not the natives, in fact, they came and r4ped the natives almost out of existence. Actually, things haven’t really changed and they are still r4ping native American women at an alarming rate.
