WASHINGTON, D.C. — Outside the U.S. Supreme Court, speakers blared with the frantic strums of guitars and the voices of four young men singing gospel songs — rock and roll style. Donning shaggy beards and seated on a makeshift stage, the four were among thousands of pro-life Christian activists protesting the 37th anniversary of Roe v.

It’s not that Yalies aren’t smart enough it’s that they just don’t care. The hard left hates humanity and they hate the least ‘useful’ humans most of all. They are cold, calculating, and totally selfish. Doesn’t matter if they come from Yale or Cheeseburger U.
