[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Some of you PP are nuts! I am NOT a conservative, nor am I looking for a conservative school. I'm from the NE, like I said, not Christian, so not sure why you think I'm in the 
kkk.

Didn't post anything on the political forum. I just object to the tribal nature of current American politics.

The whole white guilt thing is ridiculous IMHO.[/quote]

OP, I am with you ..... and I am a liberal. I do understand what you are getting at even though your construction is somewhat narrow.

My kids are done with college but if I were in your position, I'd be similarly concerned. My concerns however would be more focused on the willingness to be open to ideas that don't fit into mainstream liberal opinions. For example, as a liberal who feels the time for affirmative action has come and gone, I am immediately labeled as a closet conservative - never mind that most of my views on social and fiscal issues are fairly liberal and maybe ultra liberal in some instances. But it is this mindset that unless one is lockstep with the standard liberal viewpoint on issues one is no longer liberal.

I see this on the political forum as well. Criticism of Obama or the Democrats means one cannot be a liberal. In fairness, conservatives are prone to the same thing. It is an all or nothing attitude.[/quote]
