All conservatives need to do is keep their mouth shut. While a liberal sticks out even with the mouth shut.

You guys get all the breaks - yes you do. [/quote]

Absolutely bizarre comment.  Why should a conservative have to keep their mouth shut?  Sounds like you think conservatives should be silenced.[/quote]

Sounds like you never been to a liberal school. There are shades of liberals and they don't agree on a lot of things. Take one topic on Animal Cruelty - the heavy meat eating liberals don't parade it or promote it; they are conscience that this might be offensive to the vegans and keep their mouth shut.

The views on drug use is also nuanced and  here you can voice more openly but cultures that traditionally used certain "herbs" are kept in mind when speaking. Also keep your mouth shut before you cross the line.

A liberal college will even role-play the other side and come-up with arguments for: pro-gun, pro-life, anti-immigration, etc.  As a conservative you can have your day here.

The idea is not to teach a single doctrine but to challenge the very notion of who put your belief into your head. Church, State, Family, or Friends all of them are challenged.  Identifying fallacies are drilled into you for better logical argumentation.

No liberal school wants a kid to stop challenging their beliefs just be respectful. [/quote]
