What a great speech. Sad that such words are now considered courageous. Christopher Ying brings far more to the conversation than those who were shouting him down.

It is sad coment on the lack of education students have about Western Civilization in comparison to the Islamic Civilizatton. They are so stupid that many believe that HAMAS supports and the Islamic Civilization support freedom of Speech, assembly and religion. It does not but leave it to these Western-privileged children to use their Western Privileges to support Islamic Totalitarianism. They are ignorant or purposefully anti-American, enemies of our Constitutional Republic—America.
So why is Israel a prosperous nation--not for its oppression of others but for adherence to Western principles and Beliefs. Their success, gained despite Islamic Hostility encircling the entire state of Israel, is why they are hated and opposed by the Islamic world. It is envy and hatred for a civilization far superior to Islam that lies at the heart of Islam's war with Israel and beyond. the world, now unfolding in America due to the Implanting of multiculturalism over the American creed. Many American haters know not that in fact they are--Westerners--the privileged Westerner
The American Constitutional Republic will be lost if the American citizen does not reclaim his dominant position in deciding the future of our American Constitutional Republic. In doing so, the American Citizen must bring forth the principles the underly our Western Civilization, demanding that Western principles are again taught throughout our educational system, and these principles dominate American policymaking. The flying of the Ukrainian flag or any other nation's flag in the People's House be forbidden in favor of America and our American Flag
Below are some of the principles created by our ancestors that made for our American Constitutional Republic, a Republic based on Western Principles and beliefs, the most successful political creation in humankind's history—empirically proven as Superior in developing liberty and prosperity. HANDS DOWN!
It is the Western people who developed the principle of representation. Government of the people, by the people, for the people; the Western world developed the principles and practices of political liberty, freedom of thought and conscience, and freedom of speech and expression. It evolved to what we call "civil rights" that do not exist today in much of the world--go see for yourself! They were developed and sustained and conveyed to the world.While we often fail in aspirations, we always strive for them. That is our challenge to continue to strive for a more perfect union" not to destroy the Western civilization to trade in for Islamic TYRANNY!
In turn, adherence to these Western principles led to the world's most successful means of commerce- a system of free, for the most part, market capitalism that has lifted more than a billion people out of poverty. People have benefited from the Western commercial system, which improves lives worldwide.
