Or perhaps they will learn to have a backbone and stand up for what they believe in.

And Pence is still Vice President. Lol!! These freakin baby snowflakes walk out on one of the nicest congenial men on the planet. For 8 years conservative student tolerated Michelle and Barack commencement speeches. They sat there and respected the person speaking. Libs know nothing about civility. They preach tolerance but can't let someone with different view speak ?? They call Trump and Pence Nazis, but what they are doing mirrors 1930s Germany more than anything the GOP have done

Here you go
How Many Americans Are Conservative, Liberal?

U.S. Liberals at Record 24%, but Still Trail Conservatives | Gallup
You must be 7 years old because you have zero knowledge of the present.

Americans' Support for Gay Marriage Remains High, at 61% | Gallup

In U.S., 65% Favor Path to Citizenship for Illegal Immigrants | Gallup

Support for Legal Marijuana Use Up to 60% in U.S. | Gallup

Poll: 6-in-10 oppose bills like the North Carolina transgender bathroom law - CNNPolitics.com

You tell me which is the liberal and which is the conservative position on these topics. Or better yet, don't: you've already proven you have no idea what you're talking about.

Always love the lefts outlook on life, They are suppose to be educated adults at this point and should have learned that they don't always get their way. They could have skipped going to the graduation out of protest but no they wanted everyone to know their view with no consideration for the others in attendance. How about all the others who worked hard and spent their tuition dollars and earned the right to have a graduation without a selfish bunch ruining it for them.

But I forgot according to you "they have every right to walk out", hope the door hits them on the a** as they go..

Your argument has failed big time.
Oh yes they did! The good people of Indiana wanted Pence the hell out of Indiana!

Pedro, you and I are often on the same page on many issues.

However, I have to take the opportunity to object to this type of "they have the right to express themselves" response.
(Or they have a "right" to .......whatever).

I see this type of reply from many posters, in many different posts where it's really irrelevant to the topic or questions asked by the OP.

Usually (and certainly in this case) nobody is saying they don't have the "right" to express themselves the way they did.

The topic is whether they should express themselves in this disrespectful manner.

Saying that someone has the right to something when that right is self evident adds nothing to a thread.

Of course it's disrespectful to walk out on him, the very nature of it is it's a way of saying F you and that the last time I looked was a sign of disrespect. The office deserves a certain level of respect. I already said that they have the right to do it.

Why should graduates listen to his BS out of respect?

Respect is a two way street.

Pence has been flat out lying to Americans.
