Is to make idiots feel good about themselves - scaring them about Hillary almost felt secondary. Anyone - even on the republican side - with a little bit of brains knows that you don't just boil this down to democrats and republicans but progressives and conservatives. If tomorrow republicans somehow became progressives, and democrats reverted back to their 1865 feelings (which are still held by conservatives today), I would be a republican. My racist, dumb-as-a-bag-of-hammers co-worker would be a democrat. Dinesh has fooled himself into thinking because of his success (which comes primarily from being propped up as a conservative minority) that he's smarter than the rest of us, which means he can fool us.

Republicans have died off. Of course if Bernie can pull off an upset against the Republican contender, it may cause some R's to move back to where they were before Nixon's Southern Strategy and Moral Majority.

11. Slavery, I feel, was less of a Political Party issue and more of a North vs. South issue.

People from the south were the racists who were against ending slavery. People in the north were against slavery. Democrats and Republicans in the north were not pro slavery. Most people from the south were pro slavery.

9. Dinesh D'Souza: The Republican face of felony election fraud & marital infidelity (conserv. values)

In January 2014, D'Souza was indicted on charges of making illegal political contributions to a 2012 United States Senate campaign, a felony under U.S. law.[9][10] On May 20, 2014, D'Souza pleaded guilty to one felony count of making illegal contributions in the names of others.[103] D'Souza told Judge Berman, "I knew that causing a campaign contribution to be made in the name of another was wrong and something the law forbids. I deeply regret my conduct." ... in September 2014, the court sentenced D'Souza to five years probation, eight months in a halfway house (referred to as a "community confinement center&quot and a $30,000 fine, rejecting the prosecutor's recommendations of prison time.[12] He is also required to perform a day (eight hours) of community service each week during his probation and must undergo therapy on a weekly basis.[11]

Sentence includes therapy. Wow! A year of community service (spread over the 5 years of probation).

In August 2010, D'Souza was named president of The King's College, a Christian liberal arts college then housed in the Empire State Building in Manhattan.[22] The college relocated to a larger space in Fall 2012, next door to the New York Stock Exchange in Lower Manhattan's financial district.[23] D'Souza moved to New York as president of King's College.[112] He maintained a residence near San Diego, where his wife and daughter remained.[113]

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.[112] Smith said that 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, M.D. After an investigation by officials at King's College, D'Souza stated that he suspended his engagement to Joseph.[3] Smith noted that D'Souza filed for divorce on the date of Smith's inquiry. D'Souza subsequently divorced Dixie Brubaker.[114][115][116]

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 in order "to attend to his personal and family needs".[117]
