D'Souza has REALLY worn out his welcome

Over on NRO's 'Corner' blog, the single most conservative blog I read, Dinesh D'Souza gets no respect anymore. Which is odd for a onetime wunderkind of the Right. However, Andrew Stuttaford doesn't waste much time smacking him down for interjecting his religious arguments into the tragedy at Virginia Tech.

This confirms that D'Souza has officially jumped the shark (a new term I just learned!). His last book, Enemies at Home, is so intellectually appalling that if his friends at NRO do not distance themselves they will look like fools, at best.

I picked up the book from the library and read the intro and conclusion and a few other pieces here and there. The negative reviews are right. The guts of his argument is this: everything about liberals that he and the Religious Right dislike is exactly what the terrorists don't like about America. This is why the liberals are responsible for 9-11. They drove the terrorists to it by being so provocative. Consequently America needs to mend its ways and change its institutions, religious attitudes, and social mores to create a society that won't offend Muslims around the world and then we would not have this little problem. You may think that I am reducing his argument to absurdity, but it really is his argument. Go read it yourself.

And when you are done, please explain why Conservatives think that it is the Democrats who are defeatists.
