A couple of weeks ago, a Republican functionary offered cash rewards for students to "turn in" professors at UCLA who were "liberal." This week there is a new book publsihed that lists 101 "radical" professors at colleges across the country. On Fox "News" anyone who dares disent with the current administration policy is a "traitor."
Why are Conservatives so scared of opinions other than their own? Are they so insecure in their positions that they need to squash the possibility that there may be an opinion other than their own?
We usually assoicate a single voice for an entire population with repressive regimes. Yet the first defense of Conservatives is that repressing dissent with help to preserve democracy. Could someone please explain that one to me.
Neo-Cons, I know you are lurking out there. Please tell us why rational discussion in a free environemt is so scary. As a Pinko, Tree-hugging, Hippie, Liberal Bastard I prefer to have a discussion with someone who I disagree with. We both learn more about a topic after an exchange of differences than by camparing similarities.
Let the light of freedom shine on all of us rather than the darkenss of conforming thought keep us ignorant.
