4. Notre Dame has a great golf course.

An early Coore and Crenshaw. If anyone knows how to get to the 7th pin when it is in the back left...

8. Use the hand wedge ...

works every time.

29. Sounds like you have been in the left bunker.

That sob....

[Ilsa]

5. Amen, and good on them.

[calimary]

6. Eloquent as can be.

[sharedvalues]

7. Excellent

Just except for the "not X, not Y, not Z" at the beginning. Avoid "Don't think of an elephant", as Lakoff says.

Start with the truth.
Note the lie/error.
End with the truth.

Except for that one clause this is a great post.

11. ND's mission statement? ND supports 6 limbaugh stations

--- in indiana ND broadcasts sports on 6 limbaugh stations and even the local blowhard on my limbaugh station in NM gave 2 hours to attacking those ND protestors

in indiana 3 unis support 11 limbaugh stations and they all spew shit all day for the last 30 years that is totally antithetical to their lofty mission statements touting their respect for social justice tolerance and compassion

[Hortensis]

20. Good statement. Pence's presence dishonored this commencement.

Students should not have been put in the position of having to take a stand, or to fail to.

[Cha]

25. Really.. excellent point, Hortensis. nm

16. Good for them, beats the alt-Xtians @ Liberty Uni with Trump.

23. Good statement

Good for them for making it. And good for the students who walked out with class and dignity.

26. Why was Pence the commencement speaker anyway?

Based on my knowledge of Catholicism and Notre Dame, Pence should be anathema to what ND stands for. Almost like ND having Lucifer as their speaker.

More and more so-called religious and Christian are more than sell out everything they espouse to get a fleeting touch of power and wealth.

Every graduate that walked out should receive a thank letter from the board of directors of ND thanking them for standing up for what were once ND's reasons for being. That letter should also say the board now resolves to bring the school back in line with its beliefs.

[ailsagirl]

28. He IS anathema to their beliefs

So... good question-- why was he there?

[rurallib]

31. I think the campaign and the administration

and the religious desire to get in on the goodies, to me, has exposed the religious as not giving one hoot about morality and caring only about power and money.

But if you think about it, religions have always been about having some {magic} power over ordinary humans.

It is just that in this case the circumstances expose that they are only about power and money.

32. They are a pathetic bunch of miscreants
