Well, the much-needed vacation is over (it was great, by the way), and now it's back to the ol' grind. Jumping back in, we have a bombshell of a controversy...
Columbia University in New York has formally invited Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak this week. One of the Deans explains the controversial invitation: even if Adolf Hitler wanted to speak, they'd give him a microphone and a stage. I don't think that explanation helped a whole lot.
Anyway, this invitation is absolutely tasteless and -- to my knowledge -- unprecedented. America is in the middle of a war, and we know beyond the shadow of a doubt that Ahmadinejad is actively involved in planning and carrying out attacks that kill American soldiers, and Columbia invites him to speak?!
Unbelievable.
Hugh Hewitt sums it up: The collapse of the left's moral sense is complete.
Fortunately, some people are outraged (rightly so), and are already protesting the speech.
There's liberalism for you - hate America, love the enemy. If anyone is a Columbia alum, I would hope you will contact them instantly and threaten to cut off any and all alumni support if they allow this murderous tyrant onto campus.
For the rest of us, just be aware that this is the liberal left in America. This is what we get when we allow lefty wackos into leadership positions. We gotta' stop the madness!
There's my two cents.
