When did commencement ceremonies turn into campaign speeches?
Posted: May 16, 2016
Instead of congratulating the grads for doing a good job, talk about life after college, and giving a rah-rah speech about what the grads can do, Kerry and Obama turned the ceremonies into political campaign speeches and/or more indoctrination.
I think it's disgusting, especially since it's the progressives who have practically destroyed our country.
Justice Clarence Thomas gave a fantastic commencement speech. Too bad he won't get much expose for it because he does call faith and religion into it.
When did commencement speeches become about religion? - You can research
[ In Reply To ..]and pick your favorite pres and "commencement speech" on your favorite search engine and I bet you will be fantasizing about the glorious past in no time.
Our country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles given to Moses - by God. Without the law, we
[ In Reply To ..]are ruled by the law of man. Universities initially were founded to teach theology, like Harvard and Princeton.
Our country was founded on the search for wealth. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Its original political structure was beholden to the Magna Carta, given to a king by his nobility, not the Bible.
And by the time the first European colonists came here, European universities had already moved past teaching only theology. In the 400 years since, they have also moved past requiring incoming students be proficient in Latin, Greek, antique books written in them, and very little else.
Since the medieval universities you are taliing about, there has been a whole lot of water over the dam. Few of us still live in the Dark Ages.
If that's what they teach in the no so "dark ages" then no - wonder we are in the shape we are in.
[ In Reply To ..]"Holy" cow. I hope the word holy isn't too offensive.
It is totally amazing that the Western world aims for socialism, Marxism and communism when these ideologies failed. It all shows mankind has a shorter memory than a gold fish.
Communism is back with a vengeance. So is Nazism. All the evil ideologies that ignited WWII are alive and kicking!
Spoiled children, grown old and devoid of wisdom. Cause and effect has a harsh way of amending the problem.
Religion is all about control of people. - It is still the dark ages for them.

Short answer to your question. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]When BO became the boss of the world. So glad he's almost gone.
Makes me wish I did not vote for Obama - it was DISGUSTING and INAPPROPRIATE
[ In Reply To ..]Bye Obama. Don't let the door hit you in the azz on the way out.
Clarence Thomas was great, uplifting, talked about positive - things, leading by example,
[ In Reply To ..]striving to be a better person and not necessarily changing the world. Basically be a good citizen.
OH MY GOSH took the words out of my mouth - R2
[ In Reply To ..]I said the same thing when I saw that last night! And O was soooo cocky in his presentation. I was embarrassed by the things he was saying due to his attitude. I can't wait until January. Don't let the gate hit you in the butt on the way out.
I used to like Obama's swagger BUT - I wanted to bitch slap him for his attitude
[ In Reply To ..]I really did like Obama for his personality and presentation till that commencement speech. I did not like his policies but he seemed to be a fun nice guy. After the speech I never want to hear from him again. I will switch him from my TV screen as fast as I switch Hillary off my screen.
I knew he was bad news - sm
[ In Reply To ..]when he started to stick his big nose into affairs that were not meant for the President of the United States.
Up until then, I had hope that he would change America for the better and would go down in history as being not only the first black president, but one of the best for bringing us together. Nothing could be further from the truth. He and all his pals (Sharpton, Jackson, et al) used the platform to divide the country and show us what their brand of racism was all about.
Hate a man who swaggers when he hasn't earned it. - Obama never had anything to swagger about.
[ In Reply To ..]Pathetic skinny little punk.
