RUTHFULLY YOURS

Today I will focus on the newest of the announced Democratic candidates for the Presidency, Maryland’s former governor, Martin O’Malley who announced his candidacy for the Presidency on Saturday, May 30th and began his speech by taking on big banks and the de facto oligarchs of the United States – those whose wealth is so off the charts that they wield incredible political power.

Because immigration was an integral component of his speech, I will divide my analysis of his position into two parts. Because Mr. O’Malley began by focusing on the American Dream and economics – indeed his podium was festooned with a poster that in addition to his name bore the phrase “Rebuild the American Dream,” we will begin by considering the national security implications of Mr. O’Malley’s stance on immigration.

In denying the average college student the opportunity to hear, think, question and learn, these minority organizations violated the basic principles of a liberal arts education and what higher learning should presumably be about: challenging assumptions and talking openly about issues that might cause discomfort.

Both micro-sensitivity and political correctness require at best, obfuscating information, and at worst, silencing it.

On college campuses, teachers, students and sometimes even administrators seem to have become ever more eager to block any idea with which they disagree.
