which leftist is speaking at your commencement?

[Sweets4presidenta]

Never trade freedom for government!

[jbar19]

I love him! He is correct.

I love how the Obama Maniacs have to try to besmirch him.

[Whoo69]

Exactly how many REAL leftists like Noam Chomsky or Michael Moore have there been at universities that you know of, as opposed to regular liberals and Democrats?

[Whoo69]

Al Gore and Michael Bloomberg are leftists?? That's news to me. I'm pretty sure Al Gore is a "New Democrat." Sure, he's liberal on things like environmental issues, but he was also very outspoken about terrorism, Saddam, etc., as was Bill Clinton. Both were for NAFTA, welfare reform, and the death penalty. Bill Clinton was also against affirmative action. That's hardly the makeup of a leftist.

They're just liberal. Do you guys even know what leftists are??

[Whoo69]

Michael Bloomberg is pretty mdoerate, ya know. He ran as a moderate Republican in his first mayoral run. He's for the war in Iraq and is very pro-business. He's for tax cuts and lowering spending. He's hardly a leftist.

Good Ol'Chickenhawk Mattera: "I'm Fighting and Defeating the Terrorist by Fighting the Culture War here the US instead of Fighting the War in Iraq"

[hlambert12]

How many conservatives are educated?? Not the university's fault that conservatives don't make any logical sense. Besides, higher education is left-leaning; the more educated a person is, the more liberal the person is; the truth and statistics are more powerful than Fox News.

I'm assuming this is Fox?

[Davidkevin]

Yeah, and that's why Washington University in St. Louis had Phyllis Schlafly as its commencement speaker, and didn't succumb to pressure to disinvite her: because no colleges and universities do that.

Right.

P. S.: Mattera, when are going to get over your cowardice and enlist, instead of "supporting the troops" from your apartment in New York City?

[YAFTV]

DavidKevin,

you obviously haven't read the study. Chris Matthews, NOT Phyllis Schlafly, spoke at Washington University in St. Louis. Mrs. Schlafly only got an honorary degree -- and the Left, your peeps on campus, couldn't even handle that.

[Davidkevin]

I decide who my "peeps" are, coward, not you.

You don't know my "peeps", so take your assumptions and jump out of an airplane with them.

[YAFTV]

P.S. DavidKevin, if military experience is a prerequisite for having an opinion on foreign policy, i presume you'll be voting for Senator McCain, eh?

[Davidkevin]

No, coward, military experience is a prerequisite for advocating sending Other People's Sons & Daughters to War.

The best way, the *honest* way to support the troops is to stand with them Over There, not by blogging from an air-conditioned office.

I did my time -- how about you?

[YAFTV]

The last thing you want to do is question the ideological makeup of the military. Conservatives outnumber liberals 45 to 8 percent in the armed forces. You will agree that 8 percent is beyond pathetic. Here's an idea: get your leftist peeps to sign up with you.

cheers!

[Davidkevin]

What part of "did my time" were you unable to comprehend? As a matter of fact, it was likely before you were born; now I'm too old for reenlistment.

And your assumption that I'm a leftist is laughable. It isn't "liberal" to be against vicious hypocrisy, except in the chickenhawk playbook.

The fact remains that Mattera and the rest or your organization support the war as long as it's Other People being shot or blown up. You lack the courage of your convictions. Or courage, period.

[TylerNull]

Say hi to Jesse Macbeth at your next Code Stink meeting.

Say hi to Murtha at his defamation hearing on the "Hiditha Massacre" hoax.

Democrats trying to prop up their treasonous politics by wrapping themselves up in the flag, and berating anyone who sides WITH America, is as despicable as it gets. Denying that Universities are owned and operated by the Left is just comic relief.

[Davidkevin]

Ignoring the gibberish in the first two sentences: if you expect to be understood you have to transmit in English.

Saying Democrats are inherently treasonous just means you flunked your required high school civics class and have nothing useful to contribute to the conversation.

Grade: F.

[TylerNull]

Once their treasonous politics are noticed, Leftists often seek sanctuary by lapsing into sudden fits of stupor -- not only regarding English, but of recent history as well. Sure, it's possible they're as deficient as their posts indicate, but I'm not so optimistic. Ever since 9/11, Leftists & Islamists have been marching in lock-step agreement on all matters of the war, which Osama bin Hidin' admired in his Jan 2004 message.

Thus, we observe their self degradations are just a ruse.

[Unwantedurinal]

45 + 8 = 53, what is the ideological make-up of the other 47% of those in uniform...coming from a liberal veteran...

[frankodelic]

That's Faux News for ya... We decide, You Comply!

[TylerNull]

That's Leftist demantia for ya ... deflect from point by complaining about those who made it.

[frankodelic]

yeah, pulled that strategy straight from Carl Rove's playbook.

[TylerNull]

Oops, you did it again.

[chachieb]

You must have a "Degree" in a "University" anyone who hates a conservative or can make a "cute" joke about Bush's intelligence/dyslexia must be an upper classman.

[BeondaPale]

....and yet they don't mention the right wing religious colleges or the commencement speakers THEY choose. - Why?

Also - they SAY the majority of these people are "liberal" without DEFINING liberal - again Why?

[mbelma6329]

Why is it any surprise that Universities lean to the left on the political spectrum?

I find it humorous that institutions which champion themselves as "diverse" and "tolerant" run conservative speakers out the door but give leftists open forum with no opposition.

Does anyone else find it funny that conservatives don't protest when liberals are invited but the libs come out in droves when Ann Coulter or Clarence Thomas speaks?

Why? Conservatives are more tolerant than liberals. Hmmmm

[TylerNull]

Liberals embrace the full spectrum of ideologies:

All the way from

Left-wing Socialism (Marxism)

to

Right-wing Socialism (Fascism)
