The University of Notre Dame has invited new presidents to speak at its spring graduation ceremonies for as long as I can remember. In 1977, dimwit Jimmy Carter pontificated that Americans were "over their inordinate fear of Communism" in his graduation oratory within the Golden Dome's shadow. This, of course, was as the Cubans were seeking to export Communism to African countries as varied as Angola and Somalia, Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge was committing genocidal atrocities in Cambodia, and the Soviets were preparing to directly intervene in Afghanistan and while also saturating Eastern Europe with SS-20 nuclear missiles aimed at Western Europe.
With the advent of "Messiah Obama", this invitation has been extended by Notre Dame's administration. However, something remarkable is happening. An online petition site
www.notredamescandal.com/ has been launched and is currently gathering signatures to send to Notre Dame's President protesting this invitation to Obama on the grounds of his abortionist and anti-life proclivities. I've just signed this petition myself, although as a Protestant I wish the petitioner organizers had deemphasized the Catholic theology doctrinal aspects of their protests in favor of a more theologically ecumenical pro-life rhetorical approach. One of the particularly nice features of this protest is that it bluntly charges Notre Dame administrators with favoring popularity over principle in their effort to curry favor with Obama and his minions.
Notre Dame is located in St. Joseph's County Indiana which, according to Indiana Secretary of State election returns, voted for Mr. "Change We Can Believe In" by a margin of 68,000+ to 48,000+ last November. It would be nice to think that some of the signers of this petition we're idealistic dimwits who have seen the error of their ways and are beginning to realize the fraudulent nature of Obamamania when it comes public policy implementation. I hope alums and other individuals concerned about their alma mater's institutional reputation will voice opposition to any inviations for Obama to speak at their graduations or award him an honorary doctorate. We can hope the scales of delusion about Obama's intent and policies are starting to end and the clarity of increasing personal and national debt and vulnerability to national security problems is becoming more apparent to the American public.
