Dinesh D’Souza On Obama’s Rage

An inherited anticolonialist rage against domination by Western civilization, stemming from the beliefs of Obama’s father is what drives the President. D’Souza lays it all out in his book “The Roots of Obama’s Rage,” which you can get for free when you order Townhall Magazine. In this mind-blowing book D’Souza explains why Obama’s economic policies are designed to intentionally make America poorer, why he welcomes a nuclear Iran, why he sees the United States as a rogue nation, and much more.

For a example of D’Sousa’s premise read “Obama’s Problem With Business” here.
