Rutgers University May Prevent a Black Woman from Speaking at Commencement (Is this Racist?)

Written : Mar. 19, 2014

Regardless of your political affiliation, please ‘like’ From the Left to the Right’s Facebook Page

Research for this post was found on FoxNews.com AND on HuffingtonPost.com.

It pains me to slap racial labels on anyone as I feel we must strive to be a post-racial America, but Condoleezza (Condi) Rice served this nation as its first black female U.S. Secretary of State. Yes, and Rutgers University is thinking about disinviting her from speaking at their commencement ceremony, May 18! As hard as it is to believe, their “New Brunswick Faculty Council” passed a resolution which asks the board of governors to take back its invitation to Ms. Rice to speak there, in Piscataway, N.J.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice

Several radical faculty members of the university disagree with her politics. They say she’s a bad role model for students. The fact that a black woman (Condi) can ascend to one of the highest positions in government qualifies her as a role model for everyone, doesn’t it? I call their refusal to let her speak "ideological bigotry." It’s fascism at its best, silencing the other side, not allowing freedom of thought and open debate.

In 2006, when Rice spoke at Boston College, many students and faculty protested her appearance with signs and showed disrespect by turning their backs on her as she spoke. Shame on them. In America we should show respect for all, but not the Neo-Left. They only show respect for those with whom they agree. For example, if we slip once, and call President Obama “Obama,” those on the left protest, and say we are being disrespectful.

 The Secretary of State on ‘This Week’
The Secretary of State on ‘This Week’

Using the illogic of progressive radicals, one must sarcastically ask, “Is this racism from the left?” It’s not, but I revel in the hypocrisy. If a university did the same for Susan Rice (also a black woman, no relation to Condi), who serves the Obama Administration as National Security Advisor, it would also not be racist, but the mainstream media would scream racism from the highest yardarm, and probably call for the firings to begin. Al Sharpton and the race-baiters would exclaim something like, “There they go again!” Where’s Jesse Jackson’s rainbow coalition now? The left says they stand up for all minorities. Well, not all members of the minority community, I suppose.

 Speech!  Speech!
Speech! Speech!

No defense, no, not for a sharp, conservative thinker, like Condi Rice. Oh, no. The free-speech deniers will likely have their way. No open minds at Rutgers, no! Free-thinking is not allowed there. Students must only be exposed to progressive thinking, lest they actually understand conservative thought. And that frightens them. A lot.

Quiz: Q.) What happened when a black person was forcibly denied entry to an American university in 1963? A.) President John F. Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard and ordered Gov. George Wallace (D-AL), to stop blocking the entrance, and allow the black students to enter.

Rich DeVos, Co-Founder of Amway Corporation, Part IV: "Nobody is Just an Anything"

Transcribed in 2011, Written : Aug. 2013, Jan. 29, Feb. 12 and 19, 2014

Regardless of your political affiliation, please ‘like’ From the Left to the Right’s Facebook Page

Continued from Part III, posted on January, 29, 2014.

Amway Co-founders Rich DeVos and Jay VanAndel
Amway Co-founders Rich DeVos and Jay VanAndel

I tried to sell Amway products once, but because I am not an effective salesman, my efforts failed. However, while trying, I purchased some motivational tapes from the company. I didn’t like many but I loved one of them. I learned a lot from it and listened often. One of the two founders of the Amway Corporation, Rich DeVos, spoke in front of a group of about 1,800 young people at the 23rd annual Junior Achievers conference sometime in 1966. You may object to his attitude, and DeVos might not say things the same way today, but the message is “boss, man!”

Last time I ended Part III by saying that Mr. DeVos appreciated the work of the garbage men (now known as ‘sanitation workers’) who came to his house. Here’s his depiction of when he met them one morning… and more…

Rich DeVos, Part IV:

Selling America, by Rich DeVos.
Selling America, by Rich DeVos.

…I had an interesting experience because - - I like garbage men. You wouldn't believe that. Yeah, you can tell that… I’ll tell you that.

But I went out… For four weeks in a row… This fellow comes by at 6:30 in the morning… Because I wanted to meet him I said, “Hi, how are you this morning? I just came out to tell you I appreciate your coming…”

He looked at me and he said, “Are you just getting up, or are you just coming in?” (laughter) He wasn’t sure…

I said, “No, no, really – I just came out to say, ‘hello.’” I said, “I appreciate your coming by."

[To the kids in the audience] Now, if you don’t think you appreciate his coming by (your home) you just let him skip you a couple times. (laughter) You’ll find out how important he is in your life. (laughter)

 Inspirational quote, by Rich DeVos.
Inspirational quote, by Rich DeVos.

You know about the fourth time I went out there I said, “I'm just coming out to say hello again. I really mean it. I appreciate your coming. Do you realize how important the work is that you do? What it does for the sanitation of this community? How it protects the health and well-being of all the people?

And he says, “Well, I’ll be damned!” (laughter, then applause)

[To the kids in the audience] Now, I don’t like to use that language, but I portray to you his attitude. He said, “I’ve been picking up garbage for years, man. Nobody ever told me that!” (mild laughter)

And, I’d say to you, “Isn’t it too bad that a fellow American, who’s doing what he’s able to do has had no one tell him how important his work is?

 Rich DeVos, a winner’s smile.
Rich DeVos, a winner’s smile.

He [the man picking up garbage] says [to Rich DeVos], you know, “You’re one in a million.” (To the audience:) Well, I don’t want to be one in a million, and I ask you as you go on to positions of leadership to join me in a crusade of respectability for all your fellow Americans. And I hope you go on to college and get a Ph.D. or whatever it is you’re seeking. But I hope you'll always remember that it doesn’t make you better than the next guy. – It gives you greater responsibility.

I marvel at the Ph.D. who works for us, and he’s a wonderful man. I look at the chemist we have and I notice how helpless they are when it comes to emptying the wastebasket.

And then I look at the people who come to work and [they] work on the line and I look at the school bus driver. Well [some people say], “he’s just a bus driver.” And the other people say, “Well, he’s just a businessman.” “He’s just a salesman.” Will we eradicate the word ‘just’ from your vocabulary? Nobody is just an anything! He’s a man or a woman doing what he knows how to do best. That’s the real sign.

 Dare to Battle - Rich DeVos.
Dare to Battle - Rich DeVos.

So, if a guy fixes your car, remember to greet him. Remember to thank him. And if all of us will begin to do this, we can change America. We can break down the barriers between, (in a sarcastic tone:) “I’m better than you.” There’s too much of it! So, let’s join me in the crusade. Let’s remember that the little things [we do and say] make a difference.


This is the end of Part IV

Rich DeVos, Co-Founder of Amway Corporation, Part III

Transcribed in 2011, Written : Aug. 2013 and Jan. 29, 2014

Regardless of your political affiliation, please ‘like’ From the Left to the Right’s Facebook Page

Continued from Part II, posted on August 15, 2013.

Rich DeVos
Rich DeVos

Many years ago my wife and I struggled to make ends meet. I thought that selling Amway products would work for us, and persuaded her to try it. While others succeeded at it, we failed miserably; we had trouble convincing others to buy. I don’t blame Amway, we simply didn’t possess the required skills. During our Amway experiment, we purchased several cassette tapes from the company at the suggestion of our sponsor. Most of them bored me, but a single tape stood out. I listened to it often and I’ve quoted it many times. One of the two founders of the Amway Corporation, Rich DeVos, spoke in front of a group of about 1,800 young people at the 23rd annual Junior Achievers conference. I believe this occurred sometime in 1966. His use of words may seem outdated, and DeVos might not express himself the same way today, but the message is “right on!”


Rich DeVos, Part III:

I gave a talk one day in a high school and I talked about smoking, you know. I’d made some comments about the fact that it’s an interesting thing that when you’re your age [young, like his audience], it’s real [inaudible] stuff [he means it’s cool] to smoke. And when you’re my age you’re a big shot if you can quit. Now, that’s an interesting thing. But I made some implications that I didn’t approve of smoking –

Co-founder Jay Van Andel, Steve Van Andel, current president Doug DeVos, and co-founder Rich DeVos
Co-founder Jay Van Andel, Steve Van Andel, current president Doug DeVos, and co-founder Rich DeVos

One young gal comes up to me afterward and she says, “I’ll have you know, I smoke.

I says, “You’re kidding.” She was a high schooler.

She says, “No, I do.” I said, “I don’t believe you.”

She said, “Really, I smoke.”

“Nawww,” I said. (laughter) “You don’t smoke, honey, the cigarette smokes, you’re just the sucker! Ya gotta remember that. (loud laughter, and applause)

I mentioned the fact that you’re the leader, you’re the comer, you’re the go-er, you’re the achiever. And as such, others will follow you.

DeVos and Van Andel with TV icon Walter Cronkite in 1986
DeVos and Van Andel with TV icon Walter Cronkite in 1986

But as you progress, and as you assume your roles of leadership, and as you excel, I want you to remember something. That one of the greatest problems we’ve got in America today outside the racial strife that’s going on [remember, this was during the 1960’s] and we all deplore – is the equal respect for each other.

One of the things any minority group is seeking is just respect me for what I am. Don’t give me any favors. I’m not asking for that. Most of them aren’t asking for that. They’re just asking for equal respect and equal opportunity. And, it’s all of us that are going to change that. That won’t happen by accident.

But you see, I see it happening between groups of people. Between classes of people as well as groups – and racial groups.

I’d give this guy the microphone, anytime.
I’d give this guy the microphone, anytime.

And, so, the man says, “Well, I went to college.” Well, that’s alright, I hope you all go to college. I hope you all graduate. But you know about half the kids coming out of school aren’t going to go to college.

And, although you may have a greater responsibility because you have greater talent… As a man or a woman you’re not necessarily better than the ones who didn’t. I want you to remember that.

I want you to remember that, the next time that fellow comes by who picks up the garbage at your house. He’s a fellow American who’s using his talent to do what he can do. But he, too, is a part of the great mainstream of American life.

This is the end of Part III, and I’ll cover the amazing conversation he had with his garbage man in Part IV, next time.

President Obama Didn’t Know – Really? (Part II)

Written : Dec. 11-12, 18, 2013, Jan. 12, 2014

Regardless of your political affiliation, please ‘like’ From the Left to the Right’s Facebook Page

These are my perceptions in this blog, not a recitation of current history, nor an attempt to prove my points beyond a reasonable doubt (but, under the First Amendment, you are free to disagree!). I suggest some patterns I noticed of late, in this post, and in the previous post, part I. I ask that you forget about previous presidents and hear me out.


6. Gen. Petraeus scandal: President Obama implied to Chuck Todd (NBC News) of the David Petraeus / Paula Broadwell affair/scandal that his administration had “not been told,” coincidentally, until two days after the 2012 election! Who knew? Not the president.

I had no idea...
I had no idea...

7. Benghazi Scandal 1: Four Americans died in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012 (the anniversary of 9/11), after Ambassador Stevens requested help from the U.S. The Obama Administration didn’t increase security for the diplomatic mission ahead of time, even though the Muslim Brotherhood was on the rise there. All the president’s men and women blamed the attack on an outrageous video. They apparently don’t know a terrorist attack when they see one – or did they cover it up? No one at the White House still appears eager to investigate. “What difference, at this point, does it make?” said his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, when she testified before Congress. Hmmm.

Despite President Obama’s claim that he won’t rest until we find out what happened, his administration seemed to say, ’Who cares?’

8. Benghazi Scandal 2: President Obama campaigned on the slogans, “Bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive,” and “Al Qaeda is on the run.” So, the Obama Administration sent U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice on the Sunday TV news shows less than 2 weeks before the 2012 presidential election. One must question their motivation. Why did President Obama send Ms. Rice out there? After campaigning on “Mission Accomplished” for squelching Al Qaeda and terrorism, the administration had to sell the fact that the mission in Benghazi was attacked due to Libyan reaction to an offensive video. They needed to deny the terrorism. Later, the president said that Susan Rice had nothing to do with Benghazi. So, using my left-wing teaching to question everything and speak truth to power, I must then ask, “Why did President Obama put her out there in the first place?”

 Why did Susan Rice repeat the same, incorrect story on all 5 shows?
Why did Susan Rice repeat the same, incorrect story on all 5 shows?

With Secretary of State Hillary Clinton along side, the president said over a year ago, “make no mistake, we will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people.” To date, no one has been prosecuted, arrested, or even accused. If you say that these things take time, then give President Bush the same courtesy, since those pesky WMD’s, hidden by Saddam Hussein, can still turn up. (These things, too, take time, right?) By the way, Susan Rice turned out to be wrong, but was rewarded by the president anyway, when he appointed her to National Security Advisor during his second term.

Yes, why?
Yes, why?

9. Obamacare failure 2: Millions of us already lost our doctors and our health care policies, even if we liked them. Costs are increasing for people in most states. Yet, President Obama claimed (many times, repeatedly), that his law will save the average family of four thousands of dollars. He said, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. PERIOD.” And, “If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan. PERIOD.” No disclaimer. …To be clear, when you say, “period,” you mean what you said is final, the truth, intractable. The president apparently didn’t know that people would be forced to give up their perfectly good and well-liked policies in favor of much more expensive ones. How did he not know? This is his signature law!

Even CNN knows.
Even CNN knows.

10. Surveillance: Showing anger over President Bush’s surveillance policies, Sen. Barack Obama sarcastically accused the former president of spying on American citizens. To the dismay of the left, the Obama Administration collects many more times the data than the Bush Administration, and is building a mammoth facility in Utah to store even more. Everything will be collected, except phone records, which were recently declared illegal by a judge. (I am not against collecting data, BTW, if it is not used in nefarious ways, but how we prevent it is debatable.) Does President Obama know anything about this? Well, if not, I’m sure he’ll find out about it one day while watching TV.

President Obama’s Utah Data Center - I’ll bet you could store some data there!
President Obama’s Utah Data Center - I’ll bet you could store some data there!

President Obama says he takes full responsibility for everything, and will get to the bottom of all the scandals, but he never does anything about them. No conclusion is ever reached, one ever gets fired, nobody is ever held accountable, and our president never seems to know much of what’s going on around him. He delegates most of the work, but, boy, as the left complained about President Bush, he sure plays a lot of golf!

President Obama Didn’t Know – Really? (Part I)

Written : Dec. 11-12, 2013

Regardless of your political affiliation, please ‘like’ From the Left to the Right’s Facebook Page

I give any president the privilege to perform diplomacy with foreign leaders (fib a little), and obfuscate (hide things in the name of national security), but President Obama appears to delegate - and then walks away, disengaged. Many of his supporters are angry that he has not done more. I maintain we’d be in a lot more trouble if he could manage effectively. He’s a great orator, yes. But like my father, who purposefully had no conservative friends, he doesn’t possess the skills to coerce, cajole, convince, or socialize with Republicans. President Obama stays in the dark, and it seems he likes it that way. During this administration, he (the most powerful man in the world) and his staff told us many times that he learns about current affairs not by being briefed by officials, but while watching TV. Even for the most ardent supporter, this must be hard to believe. (Even the Washingon Post is getting suspicious!) They have a set of photos outlining some of what he said he didn’t know.

 Hey, we won.
Hey, we won.

1. Obamacare failure 1: The president stood by the wayside from beginning to end while his signature Obamacare health-care law crashed and burned. Leaving it to Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Harry Reid to architect and twist arms for the “we won’t know what’s in it until we pass it” bill, he played golf, campaigned, and hob-knobbed with the rich and famous. No one informed President Obama of healthcare.gov’s problems until after its launch on Oct. 1, 2013, or so they claimed. He described the ease of use of healthcare.gov as being like buying “a plane ticket on Kayak,” or the “same way you shop for a TV on Amazon.” But the site crashed for weeks, instead. He appeared shocked that the government, for three years, had spent half a billion dollars on a website which didn’t work. I was surprised, too, but I am not in charge – he is.

Only 365,000 signed up so far, but how many have enrolled?  Fewer, obviously.
Only 365,000 signed up so far, but how many have enrolled? Fewer, obviously.

2. Spying on our friends: When Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany feigned outrage over the fact that the U.S. was spying on her by tapping her cell phone (for the previous five years), the White House said President Obama had no idea this was happening. I support this tactic, and it is a bi-partisan one, by the way. I fully expect our allies to spy on us and any current administration to do the same, but how did the president not know? He needed to perform a delicate tap dance on this, and he did, but it fits the pattern.

Your country spied on me.  No, I had no idea…
Your country spied on me. No, I had no idea…

3. IRS Scandal: The IRS spied on Tea Party group activities (‘spying’ isn’t right, but there’s nothing wrong with being aware of your opponents). They also discriminated against Tea Party groups by not allowing a majority of those to receive their applied-for 501c4’s (plenty wrong with that, in fact, that’s illegal). President Obama was either kept from this knowledge, or knew and denied it. He claimed that he first learned about this IRS tactic, “on Friday, when I was watching the news.” He then appeared outraged. “If in fact IRS personnel engaged in the kind of practices that have been reported on and were intentionally targeting conservative groups, then that’s outrageous. And there’s no place for it,” the president said. A year later he dismissed the IRS scandal as false outrage. Which is it?

 I did nothing wrong.  It was just a couple of rogue agents in Cincinnati…
I did nothing wrong. It was just a couple of rogue agents in Cincinnati…

4. Spying on the Media: The White House insisted it knew nothing of the fact that the Justice Department seized Associated Press reporters’ phone records, including those of James Rosen, of FOX News. Either the Obama administration has a private and consistent policy of meanness / underhandedness toward the opposition, or President Obama can’t control his own people. One of the two must be true, but which?

’A press that is free to investigate and criticize the government is absolutely essential in a nation that practices self-government…’ Thomas Jefferson.
’A press that is free to investigate and criticize the government is absolutely essential in a nation that practices self-government…’ Thomas Jefferson.

5. Fast and Furious: The Justice Department’s famous “Fast and Furious” scandal (Eric Holder’s people ran guns to Mexico and didn’t track them) was unknown to the Obama Administration. “…the president did not know about this tactic until he heard about it through the media,” his spokesman, Jay Carney said. Sure, Jay. Sure, Jay. I'm beginning to see a pattern...

 Many Hispanics and at least one American died, but President Obama and AG Eric Holder didn’t know this was their own policy.  Kind of hard to believe.

Local Douglas County, CO Issue - Choice in Education – Teacher Tenure vs. Teacher Quality – Vouchers Represent America’s Future Education System

Written : Nov. 06, 2013

Regardless of your political affiliation, please ‘like’ From the Left to the Right’s Facebook Page

I’m a national-issue guy. I avoid the local scene in most cases. But our Douglas County, Colorado issue could morph into a movement across the U.S.A. Great things could happen to the American classroom. This election is done, and choice in education won. Wow, bless the children! The four candidates who supported the old-fashioned, failed and broken educational system lost. Progress was made as so-called progressives Chase, Hodges, Keim, and Scholting (regressives) succumbed to freedom. Congratulations are in order for the true progressives: Jim Geddes, Judi Reynolds, Doug Benevento, and Meghann Silverthorn!

These guys lost.  Good thing.
These guys lost. Good thing.

It’s interesting what happens when Republicans win elections. The old, status-quo media stomps on them. Here’s an example from local FOX31, Denver: “After a conservative board majority elected in 2009 has pushed a bold agenda that includes the nation’s first suburban voucher program and effectively crippled the teachers’ union in the district, an up-swell of anger from parents and the union itself has helped turn races for four board seats into the wildest school board contest in the country. No wonder people have stopped watching the mainstream media!

How would I say it better? I don’t have to. OurColoradoNews.com did it for me: “Candidates favoring the current direction of the reform-oriented Douglas County School Board won all four races, after months of heated electioneering on both sides.”

They hid the fact they are pro-union in a heavily Republican county.
They hid the fact they are pro-union in a heavily Republican county.

Sensational! As usual, the mainstream news media must point out “conservative,” as if it is inherently bad. The so-called “bold agenda” merely gives parents a chance to spend a portion of their share of education funds they way they want. For those outraged when I quote Wikipedia, I won’t(!), but will say instead that I’ve found a report that Patrick Wolf, of the University of Arkansas, did a study which found that voucher recipients reach a graduation rate of 91%. The mainstream feels the need to stress the word, “voucher” (as if everyone is against them)… And, the media must not leave out the so-called “anger” caused by those awful Republicans (to make you mad?). Was this the “wildest” school board election? Probably not. Silly media. Read and distort at will, critics, as you must: Wolf study

Where’s the beef? The left doesn’t want the old system changed. Unions must maintain iron-fisted power to keep bad teachers in the system with “tenure.” No one is allowed a choice – they don’t want you to spend any of the tax monies you yourself contributed – on your own children’s education. As with Obamacare, government officials know better than you - how to spend your own hard-earned cash. In addition, no one can do better than anyone else in a socialist state, all are forced equal. The left fears that some of you may take your money and spend it on (gasp!) private educators. The smarter families (who use their vouchers) may then have an advantage over the public school folks… Some may actually benefit and get ahead… Now, we can’t have that!

 They hid the fact that they are Democrats.
They hid the fact that they are Democrats.

On the other hand, the right supports children, good teachers, and quality in education - by allowing parents to spend their education allotment the way they choose. Freedom of choice sounds so nice, doesn’t it? Colorado’s voters also squelched a $1 billion tax increase by defeating Amendment 66. This is more good news – since our deficits are so high and Obamacare is forcing an increase in the overall cost of health care in this country. We clearly couldn’t afford any more spending, especially at this time.

Sore losers ask for recounts. The Democrats say they may sue over their losses… Yeah, it’s a little like the protesters, who try to spoil our grand children’s good time at the circus by complaining about the way they imagine the circus treats their animals. Take your losses and go home. Like they said, “Obama won.” Why not simply try again next time?

Give them credit, though. Each candidate made it very close – the county is 2/3 Republican….
Give them credit, though. Each candidate made it very close – the county is 2/3 Republican….

I admit to a little gloating and some boasting, but no contest was won by more than 53%, and that must tell you something. The left will agree, and claim “the will of the people,” and also say that “there was no clear majority.” I disagree, and like the Obama 2012 victory, I attribute the close shaves with shrewd marketing. You have to admire the Democrats and their union buddies for their campaign skills. I don’t know how you make it that close if you only have 1/3 of the registered voters (and a vast minority of opinion on the topic). I saw at least 4 of the windshields with the names of the Democrat candidates. Non-stop, smart, targeted. Republicans have a lot to learn.
