When I was in college I had some pretty unrealistic ideas too, but now that I am working and paying taxes, I have a completely different point of view. A lot of the students forget that these two students are adults. They and their parents have known for years that they could be deported. There are consequences to ignoring the laws and promises that they made. This is the same mentality that argues for bailing out people defaulting on mortgages, contracts,and other obligations. At some point, you have to pay the piper. It’s so easy to live on campus and be protected from the realities of life.

The republicans really gave Kerry a run for his money there in 2004. But yeah, Michelle, it's a liberal campus, and apparently filled with sniveling minorities and liberals who suffer from white guilt. That's basically to be expected at any university. As atheist comedian Pat Condell said: Here in the West, we only say what should think others would like to hear, not what we REALLY feel.

You deal with hecklers and even the most extreme of the unhinged left very well. But I see it hurts you to be called the b and c words and ho not to mention racial stereotypes like you're a "sex worker" or mail order bride. Some thoughts on being hurt by that. Well I think of John Wayne talking at a college, a student yelled at him "F**K YOU!", and he replied as only John Wayne could, "Well, f**k you too, young lady". But dealing with the hurt. You typically reply "I hope that made you feel better". Which is very good, right on. Because that's all it's about, they're trying to make themselves feel better. When they smear you, that's not meant to be a persuasive argument. It has no content at all. It's funny those who insist others are denigrating them because of their color turn around and denigrate your ethnicity. That is so twisted. Projection. But I wanted to get to your hurt. It's a sore point for you I know. It's because it's against your values to fight back in kind. As a conservative I believe, and suppose you do as well, we should hate the sin but love the sinner. You will condemn someone's actions but not disparage the person himself, as there is always room for change and redemption. So like when Cheney said to Leahy, "Go f**k yourself", that's wrong to say and you know it. It would feel great to do it once though, wouldn't it? Those college students would fall out of their chairs. Love you, Michelle. Keep it up. No need to betray your own personal values even while there are those who try to hurt you with all their verbal force. They'd love for you to betray your values. That's a win for them. It's twisted, but that's how they think. Hi Michelle. You deal with hecklers and even the most extreme of the unhinged left very well.

Like Doc, I would've gladly done the just-over-an-hour drive, as would a lot of the right side of the Cheddarsphere. Durn it; you even missed Uncle Jimbo (though he has been on the National Heroes Tour the last couple of weeks). You were near my neck of the woods and nobody told me?

(Except it's 62 square miles) I was thinking the same thing. I work in that lovely bastion of liberal thought everyday. Luckily I am able to sequester myself in an office and insulate myself from contact with these prizes. Typical Libtard to yell out insults during your talk. Michelle, I too wish I had known you were in town. Would have loved to have listened to your talk. And maybe smack a lib while I was at it.

Or do they meekly submit to the 'authorities' and show their documents like rest of us. I think they don't have real guts beyond their left-dominated campuses beyond which they retreat to their elitist lives, festering in their profanities.

None of the victims had anything to do with the Army Math Research center. The terrorists used a 2000 pound fertilizer bomb, akin to the bomb Muslim terrorists used in the 2003 attack on the World Trade Center. When the bombers were released from prison, they were hailed as heroes by the radical community in Madison and expressed no remorse. In fact, the lead bomber said he'd do it again.
