I found out today, albeit late on the trigger, that the fascists and weak kneed of Notre Dame admins have won and the president will not speak, a tradition for newly elected presidents for many terms. 8 years ago we had a big-time abortion on demand president speak, and the audience was respectful. Yes, there were protestors, but free speech still won. I prayed that i got the wrong info.
I have now made the Boys' and Girls' Clubs of the New England area the beneficiary of the significant check I send to Notre dame each year. Life has been good to me and i remember meeting Father Hesburgh when i was a 23 year old in Jan. of 1966, wounded in both body and spirit. He knew the pastor that saved my life as a child in Philadelphia/Prospect Park that ND Law was for me. I got to walk with him in '68 as students were assailing the administration building. He asked me, with my background, how I would handle them. After i shared my thoughts, he laughed and said to me..."That might not go over too well." He was such a winner. Notre Dame has none now.
One can sight that D. Trump is a jerk and disdain his views. One can also see how he is a man of unequaled energy and has met with more diverse groups and done more work in his 50+ days than any president on record. In November, America spoke. He loves America and will fight for the survival of Western Civilization.......on which the clock is ticking.
I am calling Liberty University tomorrow to see if my wife and i can be there for graduation. I will gladly pay my way and help a university with gumption.
