"We are today living out the script for America and the world that was dreamt up not by Obama by by Obama's father. How do I know this? Because Obama says so himself. Reflect for a moment on the title of his book: it's not Dreams of My Father but rather Dreams From My Father. In other words, Obama is not writing a book about his father's dreams; he is writing a book about the dreams that he got from his father. Think about what this means. The most powerful country in the world is being governed according to the dreams of a Luo tribesman of the 1950s - a poliygamist who abandoned his wives, drank himself into stupors, and bounced around on two iron legs (after his real legs had to be amputated because of a car crash caused by his drunk driving). This philandering, inebriated African socialist, who raged against the world for denying him the realization of his anti-colonial ambitions, is now setting the nation's agenda through the reincarnation of his dreams in his son. The son is the one who is making it happen, but the son is, as he candidly admits, only living out his father's dream. The invisible father provides the inspiration, and the son dutifully gets the job done. American today is being governed by a ghost." - from the rear outer cover. "You Will Never See Obama the Same Way Again. He's been called many things: a socialist, a radical fellow traveler, a Chicago machine politician, a prince of the civil rights movement, a virtual second coming of Christ, or even a covert Muslim. But as New York Times bestselling author Dinesh D'Souza points out in this shockingly revealing book, these lables merely slap our own preconceived notions on Barack Obama. The real Obama is a man shaped by experiences far different from those of most Americans; he is a much stranger, more determined, and exponentially more dangerous man than you'd ever imagined. He is not motivated by the civil rights struggles of African Americans in the 1960s - those battles leave him wholly untouched. He is not motivated by the socialist or Marxist propaganda that hypnotized a whole generation of wooly-minded academics and condescending liberals - those concepts also leave him cold. What really motivates Barack Obama is an inherited rage - an often masked, but profound rage that comes from his African father; an anti-colonialist rage against Western dominance, and most especially against the wealth and power of the very nation Barack Obama now leads. It is this rage that explains the previously inexplicable, and theat gives us a startling look at what might lie ahead. In The Roots of Obama's Rage you'll learn: Why Obama's economic policies are actually designed to make America poorer compared to the rest of the world; Why Obama will welcome a nuclear Iran; Why Obama sees America as a rogue nation - worse than North Korea; The real reason Obama banished a bust of Winston Churchill from the White House and ordered NASA to praise the scientific contributions of Muslims; Why Obama would like to make America's superpower status a thing of the past. Stunning, provocative, original, and telling - no one has better diagnosed who Obama is, what he intends to do, and why he poses an existential threat to America than Dinesh D'Souza in The Roots of OBama's Rage." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

From Wikipedia: "Dinesh Joseph D'Souza (born April 25, 1961) is an Indian-American political commentator and author. D'Souza is affiliated with a number of conservative organizations and publications. In 2010 2012, he served as president of The King's College, a small Christian school in New York City. Born in Bombay (Mumbai), D'Souza became a naturalized citizen in 1991. He is the author of several New York Times best-selling books, including on Christian apologetics, such as What's So Great About Christianity and Life After Death: The Evidence. D'Souza has also been a critic of "New Atheism". In 2012, D'Souza released 2016: Obama's America, a documentary film based on his 2010 book The Roots of Obama's Rage. Both posit that Barack Obama's attitude toward America derives from his father's anti-colonialism and from a psychological desire to fulfill his father's dream of diminishing the power of Western imperial states.".

"Can America Survive Four More Years of Barack Obama? No, because America as we know it - wealthy, powerful, assertive - is not what Obama wants. He wants a smaller America, a poorer America, an America unable to exert its will, an America happy to be one power among many, an America in decline so that other nations might rise - all in the name of global fairness. To Obama, the hated "one percent" isn't just wealthy Americans; it is America itself. In Obama's view, America needs to be taken down a notch. That is the startling conclusion of bestselling author Dinesh D'Souza. Building on his previous New York Times bestseller on Barack Obama, The Roots of Obama's Rage - which Newt Gingrich called, "Stunning.the most profound insight I have read in the last six years" - D'Souza shows how Obama's goal to downsize America is in plain sight but ignored by everyone. D'Souza lays out what Obama plans to do in a second administration - a makeover of America so drastic that the "shining city on a hill" will become a shantytown in a rather dangerous global village. In Obama's America you'll learn: How Obama plans to use debt as a weapon of economic mass destruction to downsize the United States; How a second Obama term could be fatal to Israel - to American interests in the Middle East; A superpower disarmed: why drastic defense cuts are only the beginning; How Obama plans to make us more dependent on foreign energy suppliers; What the world will be like when America is a debt-ridden second tier economy and other countries, like China, India, and even Brazil, are wealthier and dominant. Arresting in its presentation and sobering in its conclusions, Obama's America is essential reading for those who want to change America's course before it's too late." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party is a 2016 American political documentary film about 2016 American presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and a critique of the Democratic Party. The film is written and directed by political commentator Dinesh D'Souza and Bruce Schooley. The film had a limited release on July 15, 2016, before a wide release on July 22, 2016, and accompanies a book by D'Souza by the same name. The film was the top-grossing political documentary of 2016, grossing $13 million against a $5 million budget. Dinesh Joseph D'Souza (born April 25, 1961) is an Indian-American political commentator, author, and filmmaker. D'Souza has written over a dozen books, several of them New York Times best-sellers. In 2012, D'Souza released the documentary film 2016: Obama's America, an anti-Obama polemic based on his 2010 book The Roots of Obama's Rage; it earned $33 million, making it one of the highest-grossing documentaries. He has released four other documentary films: America: Imagine the World Without Her, Hillary's America, Death of a Nation, and Trump Card. The film begins with scenes of D'Souza at the halfway house where he spent time due to a conviction for making an illegal political contribution. The film then switches to examining and criticizing the history of the Democratic Party, from Andrew Jackson to the present day. D'Souza is portrayed going into a basement archive of the DNC Headquarters where he reveals secrets of the party's history. The film offers an interpretation of the origins of the Democratic Party in a brief outline, then examines the racism of one of its founders, President Andrew Jackson. It goes on to describe how Jackson and the Democratic Party passed legislation that brutally expelled Native Americans from their land and created the reservation system. This is followed by a political analysis of the historical record of the Democratic Party in the North and South in supporting and defending the institution of slavery, and ensuring its spread into the western territories. It examines the founding of the Republican Party which D'Souza suggests was a reaction to the support of slavery by the Democratic Party and their endorsement and defense of fugitive slave laws. The film then argues the Democratic Party opposed the Reconstruction Amendments to the United States Constitution. The film argues that the Democratic Party had close ties to the Ku Klux Klan in the 19th and 20th centuries, including the accusation that Democratic President Woodrow Wilson supported the KKK and racial segregation, opposed anti-lynching legislation, manipulated New Deal legislation in the 1930s to keep African Americans from benefiting, and opposed civil rights legislation of the 1960s. The film also examines the validity of the common argument made by leaders of the Democratic Party that the parties "switched positions", with the Democratic Party becoming progressive and Southern racists becoming Republicans, which it rebuts by arguing that fewer than 1 percent of Southern Democrats who opposed civil rights legislation changed parties. The film examines the record of the Democratic Party in its use of social welfare programs and machine politics, particularly in urban areas, to create what has been described as a new plantation system, enabling the Democratic Party to exploit and coerce residents. The film then describes the rise and activities of radicals such as Saul Alinsky, who D'Souza believes affected both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton greatly. The film proceeds to examine and criticize the actions of Clinton, questioning her ethics, honesty, and motivations. In a post-credits scene, Dinesh D'Souza appears in front of a classroom, saying "So how will you know when you have become an American? You'll know, when you become a Republican", followed by an applause by the students in the classroom. Presumed First Edition, First production run.

Dinesh Joseph D'Souza (born April 25, 1961) is an Indian American political commentator, author, filmmaker, and convicted felon. From 2010 to 2012, he was president of The King's College, a Christian school in New York City. Born in Bombay, D'Souza came to the United States as an exchange student and graduated from Dartmouth College. He became a naturalized citizen in 1991. He is the author of several New York Times best-selling books, including titles on Christian apologetics. D'Souza has been critical of New Atheism. In 2012, D'Souza released his film 2016: Obama's America, an anti-Obama polemic based on D'Souza's 2010 book The Roots of Obama's Rage; the film was the highest-grossing conservative documentary film produced in the United States. In 2016, D'Souza released a documentary film and book, both entitled Hillary's America, which presented D'Souza's personal narrative concerning the Democratic Party; the film was the highest grossing documentary of 2016. D'Souza lays out Obama's plans through the end of his second administration and warns us how he will harm the country. America as we know it-wealthy, powerful, assertive-is not what Obama wants. He wants a smaller America, a poorer America, an America unable to exert its will, an America happy to be one power among many, an America in decline so that other nations might rise-all in the name of global fairness. To Obama, the hated "1 percent" isn't just wealthy Americas; it is America itself. In Obama's view, America needs to be taken down a notch. That is the startling conclusion of bestselling author Dinesh D'Souza in Obama's America. Building on his previous New York Times bestseller The Roots of Obama's Rage-which Newt Gingrich called "stunning?the most profound insight I have read in the last six years"-D'Souza shows how Obama's goal to downsize America is in plain sight but ignored by everyone. D'Souza lays out what Obama plans to do in a second administration-a makeover of America so drastic that the "shining city on a hill" will become a shantytown in a rather dangerous global village. Arresting in its presentation and sobering in its conclusions, Obama's America is essential reading for those who want to change America's course before it's too late.Derived from a Kirkus review. Conservative writer D'Souza further explores why he considers President Barack Obama "[t]he most dangerous man in America." In this book, which expands on the author's The Roots of Obama's Rage (2010), D'Souza continues this line of attack, claiming that this ideology has made Obama "the architect of American decline" who "wants America to be downsized." The younger Obama, asserts the author, absorbed this virulent anti-colonialist worldview from his (largely absent) Kenyan father, as well as his Indonesian stepfather, both of whom D'Souza describes as "Third World, anti-American guy[s]." The author plays up the influence of such familiar Chicago figures as the Reverend Jeremiah Wright and former Weatherman Bill Ayers, whom D'Souza terms "Obama's terrorist pal." All of these influences, writes the author, have shaped Obama's policies profoundly, particularly in energy and foreign affairs.
