He told WORLD editor Warren Cole Smith that he had filed for divorce from his wife, Dixie, but according to court records he only filed the day Smith spoke to him and \u201cunder California law, that starts the clock on a six-month waiting period for divorce.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It turns out that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rightwingwatch.org\/content\/big-love-king-s-college-dsouzas-mistress-was-also-married\">his mistress was married<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n<p>And it seems that the good christian D&#8217;Souza is not just adulterous, but <a href=\"http:\/\/articles.nydailynews.com\/2012-10-29\/news\/34782856_1_anti-obama-movie-profits-lawsuit\">dishonest<\/a> in his business dealings as well.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dinesh D\u2019Souza allegedly diverted profits from \u201c2016: Obama\u2019s America,\u201d the anti-Obama movie that\u2019s been a big hit with right wingers, to a new book project, one of D\u2019Souza\u2019s partners charged in a lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Douglas Sain also charged that D\u2019Souza, who directed the movie, used some money to fund the affair that led to his ouster as president of The King\u2019s College.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rightwingwatch.org\/content\/dsouza-obama-attacking-traditional-values-sex-scandal\">here is a sampling<\/a> of the brilliant ideas D&#8217;Souza attacked president Obama with at the height of the election season:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Why is Obama on the social issues \u2014 and I\u2019m thinking here of abortion, I\u2019m thinking here of gay marriage \u2014 why is Obama so aggressive in attacking the traditional values agenda? I think the reason for it is because when Obama thinks about colonialism, about the British and the French who went abroad to conquer other countries, or earlier the Spanish and the Portuguese, I come from a part of India that was a Portuguese colony at one time, I think for Obama colonialism is identified not just with the soldiers but also with the missionaries. Remember it\u2019s the missionaries that went alongside the conquerors, the conquistadors, came to the Americas and worked on converting the Indians and later missionaries went to China, India and Japan. So I think this is the problem, Obama doesn\u2019t like traditional Christianity because he identifies it with colonialism. Obama\u2019s own Christianity is more of a Third World liberation theology, a very different kind of Jeremiah Wright type philosophy, summarized in the idea that America is the rogue nation in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately there\u2019s a political divide in this country but underneath that is a moral divide, and underneath that is a spiritual divide. I think that the deepest problems facing America and the West in the end are not political, they are spiritual. This is why it makes sense even as we debate policy issues, even as we debate moral issues, to turn to the maker of the universe, this maker of the universe that isn\u2019t just an absentee God like Obama\u2019s dad, a kind of absentee father who got things going and then took off but a God who cares about each one of us and certainly about our country.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"D&#039;Souza: Obama Has A &quot;Pathological Hatred For Traditional Christianity&quot;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e0MheTN2VRk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>But if the movie won&#8217;t be in the competition for an Oscar, it can&#8217;t possibly be that there is something wrong with the movie.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00a0\u201cI was surprised,&#8221; producer Gerald Molen, who won an Oscar for \u201cSchindler\u2019s List,\u201d told FOX411\u2019s Pop Tarts column.\u00a0&#8220;\u20182016\u2019 was never made with any particular award in mind nor [was it] looking for specific accolades from anyone.

It\u2019s about propaganda. And if you defy the party line, you stand no chance of winning. So when Dinesh D\u2019Souza\u2019s movie got passed over, I wasn\u2019t even vaguely surprised,\u201d noted Dan Gainor, VP of Business and Culture at the Media Research Institute. \u201cIs that bias? Of course.\u00a0Jack Nicholson was close: Hollywood can\u2019t handle the truth. And they can\u2019t handle disagreement. Their one-sided view of what deserves awards underlines that.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>\n<div>So if the adulterous fraud&#8217;s conspiracy theories do not match up for the Oscars, that is indicative of &#8230;yet more conspiracies.
