Liberals claim to be for "liberty," but what they really want is to "shut down the debate," Oklahoma Wesleyan University President Dr. Everett Piper told Newsmax TV Monday while talking about the increasing lack of freedoms on the nation's college campuses.
Piper, who said in a recent opinion piece that colleges are no longer places where free speech is valued, told "Newsmax Now" anchor John Bachman that at his university, he teaches that there is a "truth with a capital T."
"You come here to learn more about truth, and graduate having some confidence in their truth above and beyond what you had when you started," said Piper, the author of "Not a Day Care: The Devastating Consequences of Abandoning Truth" commented. "I don't care what your opinion is; I actually want you to learn something."
Meanwhile, Democrats claim to be for freedom, but yet they "want to restrict you and me to the point where they can tell us you can't drive a car, you can't fly in a plane," Piper said. "They're the party of no guns, no God, no morality, and frankly at the end of the day they will be the party of no money because they will run out of yours to spend because they cannot produce any through their own policies."
He also said Democrats have come to the point where "they're admitting that they are the party of no women," because they are "denying the biological fact" and claiming a woman is "nothing but make-believe, a leprechaun or a unicorn, something that you can just make up at a given moment."
