Sanders 2016!!

[Never was]

In Lynchburg if you stand up with a microphone, are white and have a bible in your hand you will attract 20,000 and no you don't have to be made to attend. Saying he could get that crowd was not meant as a compliment. I live not that far away, and they are true believers there in a scary kind of way.

Yeah, I know you do, and I don't either. My son goes to college 50 miles away.

But specifically referring to Liberty, when Cruz announced in March, just stating the fact that attendance was mandatory for the students....

Sadly almost all those students would go anyway which is scary. Aren't we suppose to be liberal hippies in college and usually has paychecks get bigger and kids etc... typically you get more conservative a bit. Those Liberty kids start out bitching Bush was too liberal, where the hell are they gonna be politically in 20 years. I've had some as interns and nice kids but damn their life experience is so shallow.

I lived in Seattle for over a decade and when Gore ran they bitched in there he was too conservative. Seattle is my favorite city by far but politically it is indeed very liberal relative the broader country much as Lynchburg is politically very conservative.

Well, let's be honest - Those kids at Liberty, and hundreds of other religious-affiliated universities, take advantage of huge endowments that are disguised as "academic aid". And frankly, hey, if it gets the kids an education, albeit one slanted towards religion, knock yourself out....

I recall as my son was getting close to attending college, he got an offer from a religious-affiliated university in western Virginia. Without knowing his GPA, his current grades or any of our financial information as his parents, they immediately offered him a $15,000 scholarship per year. Now, it turns out that a year there was at least $30,000 per year, so the money saved would've still resulted in approx. $20K per year.....

Narrow views and full disclosure seldom go together.

I will say as Domer (Notre Dame alum) it is a broad based education and they truly do economic aid. I learned more about Hinduism, Taoism, and other world religions than Catholicism. I do think national universities like a BC, Notre Dame, Georgetown, are very different that the regional Loma Linda, William Jessup, Liberty, etc... of the world. Again I'm biased as a Domer, but a big difference in the culture of those two sets of schools

It's true that Cruz's speech at Liberty was mandatory attendance. Bernie is scheduled to speak there on September 14. Not sure whether that one will also be mandatory.

And yes, I was shocked as Hell to read that he would be speaking there. Not that Bernie is afraid to talk to anybody.... but that a school founded by Jerry Falwell would even allow him on campus.

Yup Bernie is hot right now...

He's a pussy. But he is currently every wet liberal's wet dream so let the kids have their fun.

He's a liberal's wet dream but he's for banking reform and that's why he get's no media coverage and Soros sends his Black Lives Matter paid goons in to protest him.

One that got her bean flicked after a Bernie Sander's rally.

Smart PR because the school can claim they are open but it might also have to do with keeping the accreditation board happy.

Official number from the Portland Rose Garden: 28,000.

or in other words, a larger crowd than all the clown car appearances from the week combined!!!

FEEL THE BERN, CASCADIA!!!
