The entire speech can be heard here -

I hope both sides on this forum will at least take a look at these links. It presents a great guideline for how we should be engaging with one another on this forum - and that goes for both parties, not just one.

Happy Memorial Day to all. An important day to come together, despite our differences, to celebrate this great country and the many who served and gave their all.
Thanks for the link. My views on life have changed quite a lot from when I was 22 or so though which is probably the age of many of these undergraduates. And most universities and colleges are liberal at least the ones I went to-- U of Nevada, Reno; U of Denver; and especially the U of MN. BYU was not but that is a special case. And the College of San Mateo was a Community College but the Spanish teacher I had was quite liberal. Various other universities and colleges I visited were also quite liberal like Arizona State U, the U of Texas at El Paso; U of CA SF, SUNY at Buffalo, North Carolina Central U., etc.
