It’s disgraceful.....
don’t get too upset. Think about it. The only people there are people who support him. If I were graduating from Notre Dame today, I would not be there.
Oh stop it...
The colleges framed their young minds...reality is now going to set in and they will learn quick that Socialism is not the answer they should have been fed for 4 years...
When they have to move back in with Mom and Dad with no move out date in sight they are going to wake up...
I do not think one should not attend their graduation just because the One is there...rather I hope many are attending despite him and will leave there today with a horrible taste in their young mouths...
“many will be deceived”
MANY are onto Obama. Media IGNORES those that speak out against the EVIL one. I am sad for the kids that don't see through him. Critical thinking skills and knowledge is what they lack. I predict Obama will be the most hated President on out history. When these kids GET THE BILL, they will HATE HIM.
From the spiritual perspective, it could very well be He is coming for His own soon. It's a bitter sweet time.
They support Obama. Catholic youth support the man who opposed the Born Alive Infant Act in the same percentages as other youth.
They're young and impressionable. It happens. Ask the Buchenwald surviors.
I am tearing up as well. I have been commenting on this the past few days, but as an outsider, since I’m no longer Catholic.
But what must God think of our country, that so many here have such little regard for life? I think the worst thing is that the people at ND all seem just elated to be there, to see this POTUS in their presence, instead of reflecting on what his policies will do to the presence of life.
I think we are all weeping for how much this must hurt our Lord.
I’m watching Indy 500 practice and qualifying , followed shortly by a little golf and a nap, likely concurrently.
Just Change channels.. accept that a tyrant has the stage and go on living. stuff happens.
What is IS
What will be will be.. (/doris day)
The underlying principle at the heart of America's constitutional protections, according to Thomas Jefferson, is declared in these words:
"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them."
Life and liberty, therefore, once "endowed" by the "Creator," are inseparable and "unalienable." Thus, the first claim asserted by America's Founders was to an inherent, "Creator-endowed," unalienable and inseparable right to life and liberty which is prior to the right of any other being's determination (including the woman whose body houses the developing child).
If rights came to us by "grants" from individuals or collections of individuals (judges, legislators, or the executive branch), then the consequence of that idea would be that those rights would be "alienable"--an idea in opposition to the Declaration and the Constitution's goal of securing the "Blessings of Liberty."
Hopefully, more and more Americans will come to realize that "ideas have consequences." In the society, once the concept is accepted that life and liberty are not inherent and derived from the Creator, but by permission (grant) of individuals or government, then no person's life and liberty is secure at any point.
The question being highlighted by today's events at Notre Dame is crucial to the preservation of liberty for all citizens--not just those in the womb.
I feel the very same. Conservatism has collapsed as the liberal agenda prevails.
When they start to try and make money..they’ll wake up. At some of them will. That 4 bedroom 2500 square foot home with a boat out front and a pool in back is racist now...but just wait.
No, Obama doesn’t own the country. It’s a facade. Assume that some of them might be the first generation to graduate from college. Why let Obama ruin it? Today it’s the graduates’ day. Tomorrow the administrators will have to re-evaluate the meaning of Notre Dame.
Don’t be too upset...
I did undergrad at a liberal institution and am doing law school at one that turned out to be just as liberal and it pushed me further to the right.
I simply can't watch it. It's nauseating.
I can think of one benefit to all of this, which is that this has called attention to the fact that many Catholic universities are only nominally Catholic.
I find it amazing how accommodating this University is being for Obama.
Some may have missed it, but Obama is listening through and earpiece as the priest speaks.
In order to make Obama more comfortable and to make him feel at home, here is what the university is piping into his ear......

Has Notre Dame lost its moral authority?
Obama is there to keep it alive. . .cannot watch his spectacle..
It also shows how few Catholics actually attend ND.
