I don't know where the heck conservatives get the idea liberals are somehow against America.

Laughable. Sick, but laughable. Harvard sure knows how to mold young minds.

[msnimje]

The US military is not welcome at Harvard but this former leader of a country which executes gays in public is invited?

Somebody please explain liberal logic to me.

[samadams2000]

Thats it! My billions are not going anywhere near Harvard.(nor are my kids pre-revolution)

[FreedomPoster]

"Liberal logic" is an oxymoron.

Liberals feel and emote.

[Jorge]

We are seeing Harvard rot and decay before our very eyes.

What a shame.

FORMER IRANIAN PRESIDENT TO SPEAK
AT WASHINGTON NATIONAL CATHEDRAL

WASHINGTON – Former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami will present an address at Washington National Cathedral on September 7, 2006 at 7:30 pm. Attendance at the address will be by Cathedral invitation only.

President Khatami served as Iran’s president from 1997 to 2005 and was the first reformist president following the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Elected with the broad support of women and young adults, Khatami is credited with the promotion of the rule of law, democracy, and the inclusion of all Iranians in the political decision-making process. His 1998 U.N. statement calling for a dialogue among the world’s civilizations and cultures prompted Secretary General Kofi Annan to declare 2001 the U.N. Year of Dialogue Among Civilizations. In February of this year Khatami founded the International Institute for Dialogue among Civilizations and Cultures in Tehran...

Those who would attend aren't as intelligent as they think they are.

His 1998 U.N. statement calling for a dialogue among the world’s civilizations and cultures prompted Secretary General Kofi Annan to declare 2001 the U.N. Year of Dialogue Among Civilizations.

And what a success that was... Kofi is the worst UN General Sec. ever, and he had lots of competition.

At my school, we just held our beginning of the year convocation. Being a Catholic school we always hold it on Sunday. But this year we didn't--we held it on Saturday.

Now wait--the plot thickens.

We have always had great relationships with the Jewish community here. And there has always been a Rabbi and a cantor to make our services ecumenical.

But we are not going to get such if we hold the convocation on the Jewish Sabbath. A number of us commented on this and thought "gosh, what stupid planning."

Then, when we got in, I looked down at the program and saw--remember this is a Catholic school--"Readings from the Koran." And then I realized that an imam from a small mosque near the school was there. Said Imam then gave a mini-Sermon on the importance of education to Moslems(forget about readings from the Koran, this was a small speech.)

And then it hit me--the professor in charge of the convocation has publican praised students who fly the Palestinian flag and has had "teach-ins" about Zionist aggression. You couldn't pull off a stunt like this without the far-left wacko college president being part of it. So . . . .

Leftwing academics are despicable people.

Somebody please explain liberal logic to me.

All liberal logic is subjective, and therefore easily internally compartmentalized by special interest.

When talking about the war, Islamists are heroes for opposing America. When talking about the poor, Islamists need compassion because they've been ripped off by America. When talking about religion, Islamists deserve an equal place at the table because America is Judeo Christian. When talking about injustice, America is the only source, therefore Islam can be ignored. When talking about gays, Judeo Christianity is the source of evil, therefore Islam can be ignored.

Easy.

[stbdside]

That photo should be faxed to them.

They force out their president because they didn't like what he said about women, but they invite a man who was president of a country that tells women what they can & can't wear, requires women to have a permission note from their husband if they want to travel without him, and stones women to death.
Go figure.

[garyhope]

I know it might sound ridiculous, but could this guy be a double agent? If he's not, why is our government so stupid or such a pu,....I mean wussy to let this POS into the country?

I think we should just start killing a lot of our enemies here and abroad. Chavez, Kim Il Ding Don, Castro, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, etc., etc., etc.

What would the world do? Organize a "protest"? Have a dialogue? Put together a committee? Have the UN censor us?

What could the world do? Have the French cut off our supply of cheese and truffles?
