Dinesh D’Souza just got fired from his $1 million/year job as president of some tiny evangelical college, and his girlfriend is married, too.

<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet tw-align-center”><p>”God has a mighty future for Dinesh, but there are some things he has to go through first,” Mills said.</p>&mdash; Empire State Tribune (@ESTribune) <a href=”https://twitter.com/ESTribune/status/258974721222266880″ data-datetime=”2012-10-18T16:55:59+00:00″>October 18, 2012</a></blockquote>

By “things”, I assume that Mills, the head of the Board of Trustees at the college, meant “adulterous vaginas”, but I couldn’t track down the rest of that quote.

    I doubt he’ll be in the wilderness for long, probably just until he returns from the honeymoon. Like any of these grifters ever suffers any lasting humiliation.

    The weirdest thing of all, even in the linked article, is the refusal to call the relationship adulterous. Does calling someone your “fiancee” give fornication a newly washed purity?

    AA+ Bonds

    New Evangelical Christians endorse a theology of salvation through acceptance of Christ as one’s personal Savior that cannot, practically, be undone by any sin as long as one can find a faith community to support one’s continued presence; they cut a lot of slack for marital and sexual “deviance” as long as the sinner beats his chest and weeps and puts himself back on the path of condemnation of others for the same behavior

    The net result is often rural housewives seeking shelter from the church as the only local institution able to handle their needs, and then eventually getting pressured by Evangelical or fundamentalist clergy to go back to a still-abusive spouse

    Arm The Homeless

    I agree with Margaret. We should not air our laundry in public, lest those who do not share our beliefs use it to attack our motivation. These kinds of incidents are better handled and resolved in privacy, out of sight and mind of the public.

    I, as a conservative practicing Christian woman, am more than disappointed that the persons or persons making these claims have chosen to make this a public forum. We have been strictly instructed by Jesus Christ to go to our brothers and be reconciled, not to the public square. Devisiveness should be unheard of in the Christian community. I pray that the person who instigated this flawed reaction to a brother’s error will, at least, have the grace to repent and return to the true ways of our Lord. He, or they, should also step down from their positions until they have examined their own hearts and discovered the true reason for their accusations. This treatment of a Christian brother is no less a sin than what they have accused D’Souza of committing.

    I wish that I could meet someone saying this to my face, so that I could laugh in theirs while wondering aloud whether they bothered to apply that benefit of the doubt to LGBTQ people, some of whom no doubt are parts of their “flock”. Their tears sustain my black heart.

    I have challenged D’Souza to a fight on several different occasions over the years, and he has never answered me. I can’t explain it, really, other than to say that the impulse to hit him in the face has been quite strong in me ever since he profited from blaming 9/11 on its victims. But it seemed until today that my need to hurt this horrible little man was destined to go unsatisfied. Well, having God smack him down is so very much better. I will forever more regard this turn of events as God’s review of D’Souza’s body of work. Thank you, God, for answering my prayers.

These people have taken the trappings of traditional Christianity and totally perverted their meaning.

    Wisconsin now DEAD EVEN according to a Marquette University poll.

    Ohio closing as well, only O + 1 and O + 3 in the latest polls!

    And only NINETEEN DAYS LEFT until President-Elect Romney!

    Uh, how blind do you have to be to be D’Souza? Couldn’t you just hang with her somewhere else?

    She probably said “no weddin’, no lovin'”. Worked on Henry VIII.

    Looking at D’Souza’s photo (and hers), $30 million in profit from 2016 must be one powerful aphrodisiac.

    Hopefully the young lady convinced him that there was no need for a prenup. The less money D’Souza ends up with, the less mischief he can cause out here in the real world.

    although I’ll bet the current Mrs. D has similarly ambitious plans for his 401k about now.

    401(k)’s are for plebs. The hoi polloi may have to pray for their mutual funds to well enough to keep them from catfood and ramen, but you betcha Dinesh has a defined benefit retirement in his compensation package, so he can better preach against social security.

    What’s really the tell is what the College says are reasons to fire the guy:

    According to several sources at the college, members of the King’s faculty and board alike had grown hostile to D’Souza’s presidency over what they saw as a failure to earn his reported million-dollar salary. D’Souza has spent much of the past few months promoting his documentary, 2016: Obama’s America, and his high profile in the media was seen as rarely benefitting the college. It may even have been seen as a detriment: According to a former staffer familiar with the college’s public relations, King’s employees have been explicitly tasked with disentangling D’Souza’s extracurricular activities from the college’s reputation.

    So basically, he hasn’t done a damned thing for the college, he’s spent the last year doing self-promotion of a piece of propaganda, and probably selling his own books.

    A million dollars salary. Keep in mind that King’s College is a four year school with only 400 students. The Chancellor at UCLA, by contrast was offered $418,000 when he was hired.

    Not just the salary. The pot o’ gold.

    Although I expect the Jewish International Cinema Conspiracy has probably taken its pound of flesh from that haul, so D’ D’s portion could be a negligible fraction of the total.

    Anybody remember that when Ezra Klein was at The American Progress, there was a wingnut troll called “Specialist” who showed up early in the 2008 election season.

    One day after the 2008 election, he disappeared.

Do any of you even know what that is? Ask yourselves, would Paul Revere approve of his descendants new rallying cry and would even Goebbels have stooped so low?

    Like Ron Paul said, like Newt said, like our Founders said–America, get your morals in check! You’re all worried about our country tanking financially.

    @burnspbesq: The King’s college doesn’t have enrollment figures on their web page, which is kind of sketchy, but they do say they had 211 transfers and freshmen in 2011, so figure under 1000 students. I work at a university with 25 times that enrollment, and our president doesn’t make close to a million dollars.

    I suspect they have some very generous high-end donors.

    So let me be sure I have this straight: Dinesh D’Souza, convert to a traditional strain of Catholicism, is saying that it is hunky and/or dory to be tapping Odie Humanity II, because he’s going to be getting a divorce? That’s what he’s saying, right? Oh, if only he hadn’t joined the club that says “no divorce, ever.” Well, he can probably get it annulled; what’s 20 years between two married people?

    And then the manifesto titled: It’s A Secret, But I’ll Tell You (About Me)

    “:My name is Denise Odie Joseph II and I am a twenty-something currently residing in Washington, DC. Languishing, longing, and lusting are all capital “L” words for me as long as the attendant luxury comes with a heavy dose of God, Flag, and Country. For you math people out there, this means that the 2nd Amendment is more precious to me than 5th Avenue. Though a lawyer by training, I am now a maven of the museum at twp particularly charming DC Art Galleries. This blog was born out of a desire to share with like-minded folk, my obsession with objets d’arte and their trappings—wherever and whenever they strike me.

    From time to time, this conservative bloggette will also be addressing socio-political issues under the category of women’s issues. Because it is this blogette’s sincere belief that women should be the moral guardians of their homes, these posts will span the socio-political-economic gamut.

    The blog is intended to be a fashion, lifestyle, and socio-political humor blog. I want a space to discuss socio-political issues in a casual and fun environment. Whenever possible, I attempt to employ satire and humor as well. I include the fashion and lifestyle aspects because they appeal to me personally but more importantly, because I am strong believer in the concept of Republican Motherhood. I think it is one of America’s greatest inventions and the most vital of its lost philosophies. I try to abide by it whenever possible and therefore know women’s relationships with socio-politics, economics, lifestyle and fashion to be inextricably and naturally linked. Basically, I will be covering issues from consumer complaints to the elections, from the organic food movement to teenager’s clothing trends, from religion to Ralph Lauren. And frankly, I’ll be covering all three at once because our lives do.

    This liberty-loving blogette urges all readers to engage the in healthy discussion of such issues and to avoid counter-productive commentary. Posts featuring unnecessary expletives will be removed. I look forward to hearing from all of you!

    Happy Hunting My Lovelies, until the next post.”

    Doesn’t sound like a lot of you read this from the original source;

    Editor’s Note: This story originally reported that D’Souza’s salary was rumored to be $1 million. According to the most recent IRS filings by The King’s College, D’Souza received $194,638 in reportable compensation between August 16, 2010 and Aug. 31, 2011, and an estimated additional compensation of $6,886. The reference to the rumored salary has been removed.

    I was blown away by the original reported salary of $1 million. I wondered how that could be possible. I would guess that DeSleaza pulled a Trump here and leaked or flat out claimed a ridiculously inflated salary to impress his fellow wingnuts…….because its all about the money.
