Oh...
Come on....
He’s just there to promote his NO CHILD LEFT ALIVE PROGRAM....
Don’t you realize how HARMFUL children are to the environment, and the liberal Agenda?? They emit greenhouse gases, polute, and cause a burden for the nature around us! I mean, REALLY!!!
If he is going to stop the rise of the oceans, he HAS to start somewhere!!!
(s/or is it?????)
If they wanted to 'show him up', they could have done it at another time, in a different venue.
The only argument is that of “free speech” and we should listen to all views (including conservative ones). I don’t think he should be invited, I can’t ever listen to him read, he makes me ill and the idea that Catholic educators don’t see him as a choice of evil is disgusting and disturbing. I can, however, see the speech argument because I dispised the way conservatives were treated at universities. Because Notre Dame is a Church school and takes funding from the Church it should not have invited such an apparent evil. He will have no insight and will just read his propaganda.
They should all have “I survived Roe v Wade” stitched into their gowns.
At the same time Notre Dame has a history of inviting newly minted Presidents. Even the Peanut Farmer showed up.
If it’s about the Students, then get the best kids on the debate team to engage Obama. That’d be a hoot.
Heck, get a C student. They’d still wipe the floor with Barry.
Can he use TOTUS?
Zero’s party is also the one that wants to make scripture into ‘hate speech’.
The whole of the democrats are evil.
LOL@last sentence
You miss the point.
It is patently silly to wish
that no one would show up.
Many THERE are supporting him.
Pie in the sky is not nutritious.
Hopefully, he’ll be honored with a Doctorate in Sophistry.
“Would be interesting if no one shows up to the commencement ceremony because of O being there.”
I didn’t make the comment. I defended it. It would be interesting and appropriate. It also would happen IF THEY WERE REALLY CATHOLIC.
All of my children are in Catholic schools in which I am very active. I challenge the schools’ politics when they fall off the wagon and start heading left. I’m currently in discussion with the chancery about two high school religion teachers who put social justice above life. Thankfully, my boys are well catechized enough to recognize the discrepancies and argue the point.
I’m also a master catechist and have been teaching adults in RCIA for many years. I make it very clear that if they cannot commit to the teachings of the Church on matters of faith then they should not convert and, if they slip up, they should not present themselves for communion.
I hope, pray, WISH that they follow the catechism and do not become nominal catholics because, as adults, they have committed themselves in full knowledge to the Truth of the Faith as I did when I converted.
Not showing up would be an ACT of some courage as it would be a clear message to those nominal Catholics that having TOTUS there is an insult.
Just because we know that many of them are taken in by the socialist messiah doesn’t make the hope that they might come to their senses “stupid, silly, and foolish.”
I’m with you, SoldierDad. If I were a senior at Notre Dame, I’d be organizing an alternative graduation right now for those who want to take a stand. There are plenty of prolife speakers who would be powerful inspirations. I’m sure there would be a large church in the community that would be willing to host the event.
And the support of at least two bishops and probably Benedict if he would comment.
So, you believe it’s silly to stand up for what one believes in and against what one believes is wrong!!!!!
But of course what he WILL do is just get in their FACES. What a sorry puke.
Why won’t he comment?
Where did I say that I HOPE NO ONE ATTENDS THIS COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY????? Go back and read my original post that resulted in your rantings. Commenting that it would be interesting . . . is not even close to what you seem to think I stated.
