Thank you for your comment. The first thing I want to get out of the way is that by using the word “gay,” I didn’t mean stupid. I meant homosexual. If you’re familiar with the movie, it’s largely interested in portraying Alexander the Great as the homosexual that he allegedly was. But anyway…

Yes, I am a pretty polarizing person. I do agree with those distinctions that you mentioned, with conservatives being generally “good” and liberals being generally “bad.” I’m not going to apologize for it.

I also don’t feel the need to pull any punches when talking about politics. I’ve grown up in New Jersey and go to college in Massachusetts, and my opinion is in the minority. There are a few rare exceptions, but generally the Northeastern liberal establishment has zero tolerance for the conservative viewpoint. They censor, marginalize, belittle, and ignore conservative students like myself. This includes both the student body and faculty.

All my life I’ve been called a Nazi, a racist, an ignoramus, a religious zealot, a homophobe and a misogynist. Every Republican I know is treated this way.

Look at the way liberals talk about the White House. Bush is called a moron, a drunk, and characterized as Hitler. Condi is a called a black whore who is being tricked by the white man. Rumsfeld is a trigger-happy oil-hungry barbarian.

I’m not bitter about it, it’s liberals’ right to attack me for the opinions I hold and the agendas I pursue. That’s politics. But don’t act like I’m supposed to turn the other cheek.

In case you haven’t noticed, we live in a particularly partisan time period in American politics. I look forward to a non-partisan future to be enjoyed by perhaps my grandchildren, but I hold no illusions about the adversarial dynamic that Republicans and Democrats are working with.

I’d be surprised if you actually do. Would you like to try again?
