We should play the race card to make them squirm.

Play the race card? It's not already obvious this is exactly what this is about?

She left the plantation , hon, and the masters are furious about it. Others might try to follow her! The entire democrat kingdom would fall to ruins without the politically enslaved black vote.

How much do you want to bet the nay sayers are all white liberals?

Without a doubt, Boston would be the hardest hit.

They love blacks in Boston, during daylight hours, to clean up.

--- Condi is probably smarter than the entire faculty. ---

That is exactly correct!

Gee, imagine if Condi was a Democrat, she could pull the race card!

She has real degrees, plus something degrees can't confer: honor and excellence.

As a Catholic, I am ashamed to say that so called Catholic Colleges run by the Jessies, have ceased to be Catholic Schools. The designation of Catholic should be taken away from them.

Just another bunch of liberals. They are Catholics in name only who, up to this time, were famous not for academic achievement but Kennedy-like drinking binges on weekends.
Real Catholics should demand their excommunication. . . one can NOT be both Catholic and pro-abortion. I was told by a priest that there's no such thing as a Catholic getting an abortion: she may be Catholic going in but her action
excommunicates her so she's something else coming out.

"A letter by 2 prominent theology professors"!Just what the hell does theology and any"commie college"have to do with anything.Colleges are athiestic and unpatriotic institutions that constantly attack religion,so now all of a sudden they use theology.Colleges are scum and should be spit on by the public.

Condi was a gifted child. The libs couldn't hold a candle next to her and outshine her. She's black, and brilliant !!!
That terrifies the elitist white liberals. She's better than they are, and it has a dire, terrifying, stabbing like affect on their over bloated self esteem.

That's right. Many people like these honorary doctorates so they can put "Dr." in front of their names. But she actually earned her doctorate, the hard way!
