Friday Morning

The speaker at mine was a professor at NYU. He spent the entire hour comparing Reagan's involvement in Central America in the 1980s to the Iraq war now. He made accusations that, as far as I could tell, had no real basis. He accused the Republicans of stealing ideas from Democrats and spying on political enemies in the United States. He even compared Republican's actions to The Da Vinci Code. It just came off to me as a bunch of extremely biased garbage-this coming from someone who doesn't care for either Republicans or Democrats-that had a bunch of accusations with no factual basis, as far as I am aware. The thing that stood out the most to me was when he said that the "religious right" likes to portray themselves as the ones that are being persecuted. If that's true, then speeches like this one are the reason why.
