    So you want the first US totalitarian POTUS to control our universities?

    Do you also want to turn over control of private and religious universities to Trump the totalitarian ?

    I believe that Universities which clearly violate Students and Faculty's First Amendment Rights should be defunded.

    It's been taken over by the far left lunatics who simply hate this country for some reason.

    Agree about free speech on campus. Are you open to both left and right having equal rights of free speech?

    That is NOT a law you quoted. That is an opinion piece from somewhere source unknown.

    Try reading the first Amendment to the Constitution.

    Did you know, food, shelter and medical care are not rights?

    Yes. If you read the entire thread, my first post on this topic (post 5) was that the NY Democratic Socialists were trying to cancel a Marxist black professor. As opposed to Marxism as I am, the professor should have been allowed to conduct his speaking engagement, but because his personal opinion about race, culture and Marxism was different from that of an Afrosocialist's opinion about race and Marxism, the latter wanted the campus to deny him his right to speak.

    "Canceling" people's freedom of speech because you disagree with them is not cool. I have tried to make that point in every one of my posts on this particular thread.

    This thread is not about the right. It's about the Liberal Left and the Post-modern Progressive Left.

    This is why I am not a Conservative. Obviously, no one can live without food, shelter, or medical care.

    Obviously not, and this is why G*d gave you two hands, two legs and a brain to use them so you can provide for yourself and your family. Government is there to provide a safety net, not to feed, house and heal you.

    It is unbelievable that such basic axioms needs to be splained to a grown-up :wall:

    Did not I mention Government’s function of providing safety net to these in need?

    I believe, I have.

    90% of those in need are seen as freeloaders. Sad.

    The civil rights bill was voted for by liberals and against by conservatives noting that, at that time, each party had a substantial liberal and conservative wing, so it's a specious argument to say 'repubs voted for it' (an argument repubs like to make). Well, liberal dems brought the bill to the floor, and liberal dems and repubs voted for it, making it law. The argument must be, if accuracy is important, framed as liberals vs conservatives, not dems vs repubs.

    By the way, evidently you are typing very fast, as I do, try slowing down a bit, and your spelling will be more accurate:)

    No, it's in the right wing agenda to assert that they are, that way they can feel justified in taking away my 92 year old mother's $800 SSI check.
    But the real truth is, republicans are cruel SOBs who think simplistically.

    Quote Obama (who I believe is naive about Trump) all you want, I'll not only quote Trump, I'll show you videos of him proving it.

    Check mate.

    Quite an outburst, and I feel for your mother. Forgive me if I do not believe you anyway - there's more to your story than you're telling.
