The Founding Fathers weren’t anti-colonial: they were colonists. For all that they rebelled against the British, they formed a very successful colony.

Ghandi - and Obama’s mau-mau ancestors - on the other hand - were anti-colonists. They were natives in the land being colonized - and were part of the subset of colonized who didn’t do well under the colonization.

Given Ghandi’s wretched socialist legacy, not to mention Kenya’s increasingly barbarous post-colonial history, the colonizers obviously added a great deal to the country they colonized.

The Founding Fathers certainly added a vast amount to the land they colonized. Why would you suppose they were anti-colonial?

The founding fathers for the most part were born in America (except for Hamilton who was born on a Carribean island) and thus were colonized.

The Boston Tea Party was one of the most anti colonialist events in history. The American Revolution was over throwing a colonialist over lord (just read Paine’s Common Sense!)

Again, the concept is just stupid and D’Souza is an imbecile. The fact that he is Anti American while at it just adds to it
