Gosh, I didn’t see any conservatives on that list. Why is that?
Looks like birds of a feather DO flock together.
Because they all work in fields distributing information to the citizenry. Conservatives or constructionists are not allowed to contact the citizenry, you know that!
For all of their talk about the need for diversity, this is the most philosophically monolithic group of speakers I’ve ever seen. I wonder if any big-name celebrity conservatives (Rush, Hannity, Levin, Coulter, Stossel, etc.) have ever been asked to speak at any university.
I am OUTRAGED! I do not see Madonna listed!
I’m wondering if you know where not to attend based on who the school has had for its commencement speakers.
