I see. If we only respected and worked with Hitler and weren’t so opinionated about those pesky Jews our differences would melt away.

Certainly. I've copied it here, because I noticed some tiny typos that needed to be corrected. Please use the corrected version!


The power structure of Notre Dame clearly assisted President Obama in his strategy of deception: saying one thing and doing another.

In his Notre Dame speech, Obama endorsed "sensible conscience clauses"--- yet his HHS has abandoned their enforcement of the conscience clauses already passed by Congress (the Church Amendments, Coats Amendment, and the Hyde/Weldon Amendment). Isn't it "sensible" to enforce the conscience measures our elected representatives have approved over the past 35 years? What's wrong here?

In his Notre Dame speech, Obama said we must respect others' convictions, whether they are for or against abortion: yet he will compel pro-life citizens to become accomplices to abortion by requiring us to finance, through our tax dollars, the very thing we find morally intolerable.

We respect Obama, and he kills babies. He respects us, and he makes us pay for it. What's wrong here?

Again in his Notre Dame speech, Obama said opponents of embryonic stem cell research may be upholding the sacredness of life, "but so are the parents of a child with juvenile diabetes who are convinced that their son's or daughter's hardships can be relieved."

He didn't mention that it is adult stem cells which, in laboratory trials involving animals, have shown repeated success at reversing diabetes, and have even produced functioning, insulin-producing islet cells in humans; while embryonic stem cells have shown no such success.

And at Notre Dame, he used one of the world's most prestigious Catholic podiums to broadcast his self-serving, factually deficient arguments, and nobody got an equivalent opportunity to rebut him by supplying the missing facts. This is "dialog"? This is "exposure to challenging ideas"? What's wrong here?

Accomodation is only one way: from the conservative side to the Leftist side on all issues.

Where are the Conservative speakers at universities abd colleges?

Much like people who Mathschusen By Proxy psychopaths. They such good actors that no matter how sick the hcild is under their watch, they are still believed and the people they are victimizing are considered the weirdos.

He sets off the enemy by their constant provocations and then points at them and says "they're crazy," when they try to fight back.

The classic pattern of psychosis. He's going to destroy this country and all the while he'll fool everyone.
