IT’S NOT BIGAMY, BUT …
We don’t pay much mind to politically minded “evangelicals” like Dinesh D’Souza. Why not? Because we don’t think any religion has a monopoly when it comes to protecting tax dollars and individual liberties. In fact we don’t think that, we know it. And we also know most “family values” politicians are notoriously unreliable when it comes to applying the biblical notion of “stewardship” to spending other people’s money.
Oh … and most of them aren’t anywhere near as committed to those “family values” as they would have you believe.
Which brings us to this Indian-American “prophet.”
D’Souza, 51, is president of The King’s College in New York – a “Christian liberal arts” school. He’s also a leading faith-based author and the co-writer/ co-director of 2016: Obama’s America – the second-highest grossing political film of all-time.
According to World magazine – a Christian media outlet – D’Souza paid a visit to Spartanburg, S.C. earlier this month where he spoke to a crowd of 2,000 at a local Baptist church (receiving a standing ovation and selling a bunch of books).
Pretty ho-hum, right?
Well, yes … at least up until the part of the story that addresses D’Souza having a wife and a fiancée at the same time.
Wait … WHAT?
“Although D’Souza has been married for 20 years to his wife, Dixie, in South Carolina he was with a young woman, Denise Odie Joseph II, and introduced her to at least three people as his fiancée,” the World story reveals.
It gets better …
… near 11 p.m., event organizer Tony Beam escorted D’Souza and Joseph to the nearby Comfort Suites. Beam noted that they checked in together and were apparently sharing a room for the night in the sold-out hotel. The next morning, around 6 a.m., Beam arrived back at the hotel and called up to D’Souza’s room. “We’ll be down in 10 minutes,” D’Souza told Beam. D’Souza and Joseph came down together, and Beam took them to the airport.
The next day another conference organizer, Alex McFarland, distressed by D’Souza’s behavior, confronted him in a telephone conversation. D’Souza admitted he shared a room with his fiancée but said “nothing happened.” When I called D’Souza, he confirmed that he was indeed engaged to Joseph, but did not explain how he could be engaged to one woman while still married to another. When asked when he had filed for divorce from his wife, Dixie, D’Souza answered, “Recently.”
According to San Diego County (Calif.) Superior Court records, D’Souza filed for divorce only on Oct. 4, the day I spoke with him. Under California law, that starts the clock on a six-month waiting period for divorce. D’Souza on Oct. 4 told me his marriage was “over,” said he “is sure Denise is the one for me,” and said he had “done nothing wrong.”
Awwww …
Earlier this week, D’Souza announced that he had suspended his engagement with Joseph. That announcement came on the heels of a conference call with members of the board at The King’s College – who will be revisiting the matter again later this week.
(Cue sad trombone …)
We’re not judging D’Souza … well, except to say that those who make a living off the gullibility of “the sheeple” really ought to have all of their “i’s” dotted and “t’s” crossed before they start bumpin’ uglies with the next one in line.
Also, how awesome is it that he got busted in South Carolina (a.k.a. the “jackrabbit” state)? There’s something poetic about that …
UPDATE (10/18/2012): D’Souza has resigned as president of The King’s College – effective immediately.

I doubt he pays too attention your Obama @$$ kisin’ Fence-Ridin’ Stupidity either…
FITS you’re GUTLESS…you are scared to death to say anything that makes the Liberals see reality…for fear they won’t like you…
You have NO belief in your own ideas…and/or you have no ideas…other than those given to you by the corrupt, failed and stupid..
Conservatives are the TRUE heroes of modern day America…You are the antithesis of a Hero..You are a whimpering Coward…trying to gain favor w/ very flawed people…
Big T, we get it that the liberals suck. We The People, are taking hits not only from them but these so-called Republicans and “Conservatives” who we used to trust to have our back. Burying our heads in the sand and pretending it isn’t happening, bashing the liberals, while these conservatives and so-called “Christians” are bungholing us is not good for us. We need to call out the traitors and BS artists who many long-believed were in our camp and root them out. If not, we have nowhere to go and no one to rely on.
I have long known that most people who set out to convince you how righteous and how “Christian” they are, will soon as not stick a knife in your back. That was something my paternal grandmother told me decades ago and I have rarely if ever seen it to be wrong.
Wake up people, we are under siege from all sides, now.
Anybody else notice that for a big-tent moderate, anything goes libertarian…
FITS sure does stick his nose in people’s bedrooms a lot…It’s like your claims of being color-blind, yet you are obsessed with skin color…or pleading that you want a seperation of Church and State…yet you Crucify people if they are Christians…
Are you Liberals just LIARS or Stupid…or just @$$-holes…?
Follow the link, and you will see that “World/Today’s News|Christian Views” outed Dinesh, not Fits.
Dinesh has been a jerk ever since he was a writer for the Dartmouth Review. It’s always sweet when a “values” champion steps in it.
Funny that these personal issues seem to become public (fed to the media) when someone exposes your god-Obama…
This man is Famous for outing the Horror that is the president…To me, it has nothing to do w/ his personal habits…
He’s a writer and documentary producer…it’s why he is important…
What if you released a sex tape of Michael Moore w/ his partner..and his partner were an animal…would you people stop worshping Moore???….NO!
Who is the Sanctified Diety of the democrat party…and what did he do in the Oral Office of the White House???
Personal life is only a purpose for judgement and Shame if you Leftists, like FITS, hate the person…
what do you expect from Gov.Hailey’s relatives
guess you feel OK with that racist remark?
edit Haley
FBI will be all over this!
He’s just focusing on the Old Testament in his faith, when polygamy was acceptable.
FITS and Obama have been telling us marriage is a Civil Rights issue that cannot be Defined, except however the participants want it defined…
I guess Anything goes, but ONLY if you are a Homosexual and a Liberal…
Two Americas…one where the Leftwing Nutjobs, like FITS and Obama, can do anything they want…and one where they tell the people they HATE what you can and cannot do…
“D’Souza” means “the fornicator” in Portuguese. LOl!
The crock about a good (not perfect man) continues…this is, to be sure…a crock!
