Star Parker understands that it is in the universities that the Progressives implement their social change to more state control as she addresses the issue of Obama being honored at Notre Dame:
When Barack Obama speaks at an American university, he does not provide a different perspective. He preaches to the liberal choir. And I am afraid that most of today’s Catholic universities are no exception.
Last year Students for Human Life invited me to speak at their Catholic school, the University of St Thomas in St Paul, Minn. The group’s request for permission for me to speak on campus was rejected. When pressed for an explanation, university staff said they were unhappy with a talk that Ann Coulter had given the year before.
But earlier in the year, this same Catholic university hosted liberal Al Franken and a transgender activist named Debra Davis.
Barack Obama’s strongest support is among voters ages 18-29. He beat John McCain by 34 points in this group, 66 percent to 32 percent.
Father Jenkins’ argument that Obama brings a different perspective to the Notre Dame student body is dubious. Far more likely, the majority of the audience voted for him.
Yes, and let's all remember the outrage at George Bush, death penalty pusher, when he spoke at ND, after all, Catholics don't care for that, or the war in Iraq that the last Pope declared "unjust". Those protests...
Oh, wait. There weren't any. No one cared. Perhapse this is more about outsiders whipping up anger than it is about Catholic principle?
