D'Souza's demented anti-Obama crusade feels personal more than
political. Early in "2016" he says that his own grandfather was an
Indian nationalist driven by anti-British and anti-white prejudice,
who urged him not to go to America. This is a man who is intimately
familiar with the seductive pull of anti-colonial thinking – the
tendency to blame the legacy of Western domination for all the
developing world's problems – and must struggle manfully against it
every hour of every day. He's cast himself as a Brooks Brothers
version of Frodo Baggins in an epic psychodrama no one else
understands, fighting on behalf of a culture he largely despises
against the power of the One Ring of post-colonial theory, forged in
secret Ivy League seminar rooms by Barack Sauron Obama. On the famous
theory expressed in David Mamet's play "Edmond" that every fear hides
a wish, I wonder which of these guys really dreams about destroying
America.
