Texas A&M Commencement Address –students gave a standing ovation; faculty were deathly silent!

Ventura County Tea Party ^ | May 29 2012 | Neil Bortz

[IbJensen]

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.

[stars & stripes forever]

A right-on speech, but I doubt if he’ll ever be asked to do another one.

This is from Boortz’s book. It was never actually given, so this headline is misleading. Go to the website that gives this information.

[The Grammarian]

So it was from a book written in ‘98, but it references “President Obama”? Wow, talk about prescience! ;P

[Bigun]

Neil is RIGHT ON! Most of the faculty at our august institutions of “higher” learning (upwards of 95%) have never spent a day in the REAL world and thus haven’t the most remote clue about what really takes place out there. All they have is their ivory tower assumptions which are almost universally incorrect!

As I read, I thought it was either Rush or Neal Boortz speaking. Brilliant!

TX A&M’s Spring commencement was on May 12 and former Sec. of Defense and Pres. of A&M Robert Gates was the speaker. His speech was much less exciting than this fictional one from Boortz.

I bet that's a speech those graduates will always remember... While the faculty must have been in rage, I must credit them for inviting a well known conservative-libertarian speaker. I know, that's his almamater, but I'm not sure Ted Cruz would be invited to give commencement speech at Harvard anytime soon...

Sorry, this was written a piece by Boortz, not an actual speech.

Although it is very good.

Absolutely best commencement speech ever written— but never delivered.
speech is from a book Neal Bortz wrote in 1998, and NOT AN ACTUAL SPEECH HE recently gave at TEXAS A&M

A disclaimer would have been appropriate.

[MamaTexan]

LOL Exactlty the same time posting, but your spelling is better.

written a piece

Eesh! I need more coffee! LOL!

[CORedneck]

good speech. Those who were deathly silent, they need to lose their positions as faculty since they are so out of touch.

[listenhillary]

Likely it was Bill Clinton if the book was written in 1998.

Here is the real Boortz Best commencement speech never given.

Neal Boortz announces retirement after more than four decades in radio, replaced by Herman Cain.

While reading this, I came up with what I think might be a good tool for teaching young people the idiocy of “diversity”.

When you meet someone new, and are considering whether you might want to have them as a friend, do not consider whether they are polite, friendly, well groomed, well mannered, intelligent, and/or funny. Your only concern should be how they would enhance the diversity of your circle of friends.

Absolutely best commencement speech ever written-- but never delivered.

Was not clear at first. It is a great speech, but it was not really given. Should have been.

[McGavin999]

What a great speech! He should be brought in to speak to every single graduating class of every university!
