Karl Rove on the Importance of a Stable Afghanistan & Obama’s Failure in this Regard

Published by Papa Giorgio

From the video description:

Hugh Hewitt interviews Karl Rove about the situation in Afghanistan. Dr. Rove gives his unfailing commentary that once again draws our attention to WHY a stable Afghanistan is important. He also makes the distinction between President Bush’s communication skills verses Obama’s. (Posted by https://religiopoliticaltalk.com/)

The New York Times even gets in on the obvious:

Lost in all of the attention paid to the heavy spending by Republican-oriented independent groups in this year’s midterm elections is that Democratic candidates have generally wielded a significant head-to-head financial advantage over their Republican opponents in individual competitive races.

Even with a recent surge in fund-raising for Republican candidates, Democratic candidates have outraised their opponents over all by more than 30 percent in the 109 House races The New York Times has identified as in play. And Democratic candidates have significantly outspent their Republican counterparts over the last few months in those contests, $119 million to $79 million….


Loyola University/Chicago Refuses Karl Rove-Caught In Lie

I was sent to Gateway Pundit via the Founding Bloggers. Gateway shows that Loyola University Chicago has its adherence to a radical line of thought by whom they have let speak and refuse to let speak at their university. Here is Gateway’s post:

Loyola University in Chicago refused to allow Karl Rove to speak on campus this fall. University officials said it was due to their tax status but they have allowed liberal speakers on campus in the past.

Evan Gassman at the Young America’s Foundation sent out this press release today:

HERNDON, VA –While many college students are currently enjoying their time off, some are utilizing this summer to prepare for the upcoming school year. Conservative activists at Loyola University Chicago were planning to bring best-selling author and Young America’s Foundation lecturer Karl Rove to their campus for the fall semester. Administrators had other plans, however.

University officials denied the request to host Karl Rove, arguing that due to their 501(c)(3) tax status, they cannot host a “political” speaker before the midterm elections. Those with even the faintest knowledge of tax law understand that is simply not the case.

Kimberly A. Moore, director of student affairs and Greek affairs at Loyola University Chicago, told students in an email that, “The timing of this event is problematic given the campaign cycle. Loyola has to maintain impartiality in order to protect our tax-exempt status.” It is important to note that Karl Rove is not working for any campaign this season.

As if that weren’t egregious enough, Loyola University Chicago has a history of hosting partisan speakers on election years. On September 1, 2004, Howard Dean was allowed to speak on campus. Just a couple weeks later, third party candidate Ralph Nader not only spoke on campus, but it was also advertised as a campaign event and donations were solicited.

After long discussions, Loyola officials offered to host the event after the midterm elections, but given Karl Rove’s busy schedule, that is simply not possible.

Sean Vera, the student who is trying to bring Karl Rove to his campus, commented on the situation: “It is very disconcerting to see Loyola not live up to the standards of academic freedom that they frequently preach about. I never expected Loyola would prevent the free exchange of ideas and that they would do so in such a partisan manner.”

The Founding Bloggers posted the video of one reunion allowed to be held on their campus by SDS (Students for a Democratic Society – a radical group). Many of their constitutions and positional statements can be found here. The video Founding posts is this one:
