Amazingly ironic that such institutions are supposed to be bastions of free-thinking.

As you can see from this placemat, progressive politics is always a matter of balancing respective mobs of aggrieved constituents.

Sad that these kids, who are supposed to be the best and brightest, have to be coached in how to defend the liberal orthodoxy. Aren't they smart enough to think for themselves. Or is that the problem: if they are allowed to think for themselves, they might develop their own opinions that are in conflict with the orthodoxy.

They're taught that this is the smart way to think. Otherwise, they'll be compared to the masses. Pretty stupid I think. Oh wait, this is Harvard, pretty smart thinking.

It's good to know there has not been even one instance of violence from Central American refugees.

My girlfriend went there and doesn't seem brainwashed. If you read the school newspaper, it seems as though there's backlash coming from the students.

I'd characterize her as moderate.

Why is it that the leftist goons can't leave their students alone even when they are home for a few days over Christmas and New Years? They now want to invade our homes and spread their disorder through their hoped-for army of student "warriors".

Go away. You don't belong at my Christmas dinner table, nor does your indoctrination garbage, go ruin someone else's Holiday.

Which is what every good, like minded liberal tries to claim. So, the correct answer is yes.

You guys are so far over the edge that you probably don't know what moderate looks like.

I don't think you need to add the word "probably" in there.

Har, Har, har.

My wife is a moderate. She lives her life in a somewhat conservative fashion, but her work entails an abundance of compassion, shoulder to cry on, and helping others daily.

Much like many of us "right wingers" do.

You know, actually giving back to our very generous communities.

You pompous clowns? What do you do to better the current condition? Daily?

**** these people.

You have a really low opinion of people you think are liberal. We also volunteer our free time to make the community better.

Seriously dude, do you think we just sit around judging people? Who the **** do you think we are?

You don't even seem liberal to me.

Where can I get my hands on these so I can put them down for everybody at Christmas dinner?

I do to him, which is why I phrased it this way: "You have a really low opinion of people you think are liberal."

I still can't figure out what his deal is.
