The overwhelming majority of college commencement addresses are given by closed-minded leftists, preaching their freedom and America-hating ways to graduates who have already been brainwashed for four or more years by radical statist professors who have never held a real job in their lives. But, every once in a while, someone breaks through and is allowed to speak at a college who isn’t anti-achievement, anti-success and anti-freedom.

Enter Hollywood megastar Matthew McConaughey, who addressed the Spring 2015 graduating class of 4,300 at the University of Houston Friday evening, blasting the entitlement and “fairness” (i.e., communism) meme of Barack Obama and his henchmen.

And McConaughey didn’t mince words as he opened his speech.

“Congratulations class of 2015. Life’s not fair. It never was, it isn’t now and won’t ever be. Do not fall into the trap — the entitlement trap of feeling like you’re a victim. You are not.”

I am not sure if he is a republican or a libertarian, but he is definitely not a weak kneed liberal.
