Why not? They've probably heard enough BS in their years at college one more day doesn't matter. :roll:

Nah, I just get out my prayer rug, face North-East and bow to Washington DC a few times each day. Allah, I mean Obama will save us all.

Only the first two paragraphs are not valid (not written by Neal Boortz):
"Texas A&M Commencement Address - The students gave a standing ovation; the faculty were deathly silent!
Neal Boortz is a Texan, a lawyer, a Texas Aggie ( Texas A&M) graduate, and now a nationally syndicated talk show host from Atlanta . His commencement address to the graduates of a recent Texas A&M class is far different from what either the students or the faculty expected. Whether you agree or disagree, his views are certainly thought provoking."
The rest was indeed written by Mr. Boortz, and has a lot of truth in it.

I'm so glad Al Gore invented the internets so we could verify everything.

It does not have to be true that it occured as a speach but it does not take away from the true message that it brings -

Had the OP simply stated that some guy had written an editorial, his credibility would have been enhanced. But when you simply cut and paste without verifying, it discounts whatever you're trying to say.

"Conservatives think -- and, setting aside the theocracy crowd,"
A fairly large aside, no?
If indeed that happened, then a true debate deciding between which type of socialism, government or corporate, best suits forwarding a given need could easily ensue.
Since Reagan and his embracing of Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority right before winning his first presidential election, critical political debate on a national level has become muddled.

How easily ideologues are duped. Find something ridiculous that you agree with and immediately put it on the web as gospel!

Really? Such a wealth of truisms, and all folks can come up with is "that wasn't Boortz"? Sad.
Debating these topics is futile. However, Boortz DID describe a new taxing system (Fair Tax) that has merit and could be discussed in a non-political manner. I suggest you read about it.

WTG Traveler, so good to see someone take the lead in checking the truth of a statement before either blowing up in false indignation or rolling and lounging like a lap dog in the marked stain of another stray? Well ,Done !!!!

Wow! I actually agree you one this one for the most part. I've seen example of this myself. Just in the weeks leading up to the election, left leaning ideologues repeated the false claim that the Republican candidates wanted to eliminate birth control. When pressed for details or proof, they couldn't provide any.
Of course you don't have to be an ideologue to be duped, just too trusting.
