I weep for our country because even “conservatives” want the same things as liberals, only the opposite of what the other wants

Your comment will make sense as soon as you can show me where in the Constitution it says there is a right to: Force taxpayers to fund professional sports teams at public universities. Force colleges to lower their standards to admit morons simply because they can throw or catch a ball.

The Right to Keep and Bear Arms is a fundamental right inherent in the humanity of all of us: the right to defend our lives and the lives of those we love.

Equating an idiotic desire to watch semi-professional sports teams on college campuses -- as if that were a "right" -- to something as basic as the Second Amendment says everything about how well grounded your conservatism is.

Thumbs up.

Universities were originally supposed to be about scholars and studies and getting an education that will enhance a perspective that was originally limited. Now it’s about sports and there isn’t any ‘right’ for colleges to make a huge profit (as if tuition doesn’t bring in enough) via farming athletes.
