GREENCASTLE -- Two heavyweights on the national political scene -- Howard Dean, who recently completed a four-year term as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and Karl Rove, the former chief political adviser to President George W. Bush -- are coming to DePauw University on Sept. 11. In a Timothy and Sharon Ubben Lecture, the two men will engage in a debate on "America in 2009: Challenges and Opportunities." The program will take place at 7:30 p.m. in Kresge Auditorium of the Green Center for the Performing Arts (605 S. College Avenue).
Like all Ubben Lectures, the program is free and open to all. Seating is general admission and no tickets are required.

oh my goodness!! Bronze star recipient! I did not see your tagline. You must be “busting your buttons” with pride. I certainly would be. Congratulations to that wonderful son of yours and to you!!!! What an honour.
Yes, indeed. Lots of pride, complete with tears, and all the respect in the world for an adorable little towheaded boy who grew up to be a hero. :)
Oh gosh, you made ME tear up. We have so many soldiers here in San Antonio. Some are so young. You can still see the child in them and you just know how proud their parents have to be of them.
....but I will say it again..
.. please don't post to me..
....and DallasSun I'm including you.
Thanks.
.... we are all indepted to your son......and owe him our gratitude.
I won't. I was trying to be polite. I guess I can't do the right thing even if I try.
I don't understand why or what's going on with you, but you won't hear from me again, Guennie, regardless of the subject. I'm sorry for offending you.
So don't worry. I'll leave you alone now.
(It will be easier if you don't post to me either. Thanks).
Nothing is harder in the world than having your baby go off to war, and there's no way to explain it either.
All I can say is that his Dad and I have never been prouder than we were when they pinned that medal on our boy. It was almost surreal.
Thanks so much for your kind words, DallasSun. It IS good to be back! :)
btw, I'll put my conservative creds against yours any day. Side by side, ideal by ideal, the nasties on this forum pale by comparison to my conservatism.
That's why you all amuse me. I'm a conservative activist. Most of you are at your computers making fun of people who are the real deal.........like me.
No need to continue this conversation. All the salient points have been made..........by me.
Bye, Jack. :)
I don't expect you to grasp the concept. But I'm putting it in black and white for other more rational folks to see.
I'm a conservative by what I think and what I do. And you're not a conservative just because of your hostile feelings about George W. Bush and Karl Rove. Any old MSM pseudo-journalist or leftist DU troll would agree with you and hates them as much as you do. It proves nothing.
Now hit the road............Jack.
Wasn't it Lenin who said that repeating a lie often enough makes it true? Is he your role model, Jack? Guess so. Or is it Alinsky?
In either case, you can repeat ad nauseum, but it's still nonsense.
You have a lot in common with Obama. Axelrod and Emmanuel more to your liking than Rove, eh?
I'll stick to being a conservative, but thanks anyway for the kind invitation to be just like you. I prefer morality and truth to anger and deceit. You can have your pseudo-conservatism. I'll stick with the real thing.
No more "flapping" Jack. I can't compete with you there. You flap with the best of them.
Oh.........and thanks for being "done with me." It's quite a relief actually. :)
I enjoy converting folks to conservatism. Even abtuse and less that mentally agile folks like you. See ya, Jack. :)
(Now PLEASE would you "be done" with me? Please??)
