No offense, Native Americans, but ewww....]<BR/><BR/>It's funny that you bring up "the wacky liberal nonsense of the university." <BR/><BR/>It's funny, because the last four years have exposed me to the complete opposite- and I've come to realize I'm much more liberal than I had ever previously thought. While I've loved the curriculum and have generally had very good teachers, I've suffered more than my fair share of wacky conservative idiocy from the student body. Gay people should be sent away to camps? Students have said that in all seriousness. Terms like "Jew you over?" Widely accepted by our student body. Homeschooling your family of seven is both normal and healthy for women? The earth is 6,000 yeas old to the day and scientists are atheist liars, and the public schools ought to teach creationism? Sin Ciy is a morally acceptable movie but Brokeback is not? I don't even want to begin going into it...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, wacky idiocy is a two way street. At his point I'm weirdly looking forward to crazy liberals in college. I need a new breed of crazy or I'll pop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26106925.post-44238826585459362772007-04-12T16:51:00.000-07:002007-04-12T16:51:00.000-07:00Nothing brings out the conservative in me like the...Nothing brings out the conservative in me like the wacky liberal nonsense of the university. I didn't realize how conservative I was until I was faced with utter inanity in grad school. I was called "hegemonic" by a large Native American who brought peyote to a class party at our prof's house.<BR/><BR/>I prefer hegemony to idiocy.Hansoniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923252243145577491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26106925.post-41205370772423968092007-04-12T15:35:00.000-07:002007-04-12T15:35:00.000-07:00Maybe I shouldn't blog when tired.

And, in fact, I am currently considering enrolling in UD's music program, much as Condie did 30-odd years ago.<BR/><BR/>Still, though. Marx is a bore to discuss in class because he's ridiculously polemical, and it seems that everyone just gives the knee-jerk "commie bad! money good!" reaction. I need college. I need real live crazy liberals to cotrast to my conservative peers...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26106925.post-40783864738950138332007-04-12T13:52:00.000-07:002007-04-12T13:52:00.000-07:00Petite Bete:If we're going to talk about nerdy equ...Petite Bete:<BR/><BR/>If we're going to talk about nerdy equivalents, let's not forget <A HREF="http://lapetitekelly.blogspot.com/2007/03/i-heart-huckabees.html" REL="nofollow">your post!</A><BR/><BR/>The Reagan bio was being discussed by the author during an interview with George Will (an old idol of yours, if I'm not mistaken). The author's contention is that Reagan is a figure appropriated by the conservatives. The real Reagan was more liberal than they recognize or admit.<BR/><BR/>"Conservative" and "liberal" are grab-bag concepts. I feel more comfortable walking under the banner marked "conservative" but there is much that I respect that might be called "liberal."<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://lapetitekelly.blogspot.com/2007/04/warning-or-further-reasons-why-i-am-18.html" REL="nofollow">Your blog about being raised "conservative"</A> makes me mindful about how to raise a conservative daughter. I don't find it worrisome, though. I'm sure Condoleeza went through something similar when she was 18.Hansoniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923252243145577491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26106925.post-85061498228622733872007-04-11T19:56:00.000-07:002007-04-11T19:56:00.000-07:00Actually, those windows were a gift from your fath...Actually, those windows were a gift from your father-in-law who now enjoys many of the fruits of capitalism though he used to be sweaty and somewhat poor.Alishiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694078415046309668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26106925.post-70499528065971392472007-04-11T17:12:00.000-07:002007-04-11T17:12:00.000-07:00Here, here.Here, here.faithsaluteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006385085806474657noreply@blogger.com
