Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas urged college graduates who seek to "preserve liberty" to do so by fulfilling the duties of their daily vocations rather than attempting to achieve sweeping political goals. "At the risk of understating what is necessary to preserve liberty in our form of government, I think more and more that it depends on good citizens, discharging their daily duties in their daily obligations," Thomas said Saturday during a commencement address at Hillsdale College, a small liberal arts college in Michigan.

I love P.J. but I just heard Mark Steyn say that he read that P.J. said he was voting for Hillary in the context of being a "never Trump" person. I hope that he perhaps missed the sarcasm embedded in what P.J. said. I hope.

The alinsky-lovin obamas are always effectively telling young people to act up.

Yep.
But only if you are out in the boat and on the job.
