Sounds like wonderful people in that area of NY. They had every right to show their displeasure at Sorenson's using their graduation as a political forum.
Just days before the election 2000 I went to a book festival in FL. The speaker, a well known enviromentalist was supposed to be talking about his book on Alaska; but he began by bashing GHWB, GWB and JEB as destroyers of the environment.
About 50 people, including me, walked out of the auditorium in protest of his politicising the book festival. Now I wish we had stayed and raised a fuss. If something similar happens at the same book festival this November....I will not leave but will speak up and hope that others join me!
We need to start really getting feisty with these idiots. They think that because we were raised right with manners,and a great deal of decency and respect that they can run roughshod over us. WRONG! I can be really sweet,or a vicious streetfighter. I, like most conservatives would prefer to be left alone to enjoy life,but we are in the fight of our lives to keep America from being taken over by the radical left,and the terrorists(same thing?). The radicals "misunderestimate"us like George W at their peril.
