D'Souza gets accosted by a freshman with a pair of questions about white privilege and Islamic militancy arising as a reaction to American imperialism. You won't believe his response! — Available everywhere July 31, Dinesh D’Souza’s new book "The Big Lie" exposes the Left's biggest lie yet: their orchestrated campaign to paint conservatives as Nazis to cover up their own fascism. To cover up their insidious fascist agenda, Democrats loudly accuse President Trump and other Republicans of being Nazis—an obvious lie, considering the GOP has been fighting the Democrats over slavery, genocide, racism and fascism from the beginning.

I will fight you
Every step of the way
No matter what I think
Or what you have to say
Kicking and screaming
Just drag me out of here
I will cause you sorrow
I will not endear
I am wide-awake
And immersed in confusion
Bare boned and busted up
Lost in disillusion
If I had just one
Little spark inside of me
I wouldn't be so scared
Of the dark side of me
I refuse to shrink
And be something that I'm not
Just to be who you are
Just to get what you have got
I won't accept restraint
I will not hide behind fear
I will be afraid
But I'll stand up
