Exactly.

Progressives have a deeply ingrained hatred of Conservatives.

What “mainstream” Progressives like Powers are realizing is that to the new generation of Progressives THEY are “conservative”

And thats scaring the hell out of them.

Well, that was weird. Pulled out my phone and my post was still up, it didn’t look like it had submitted. So I hit submit, again.

Thank God I left Academia twenty years ago. Nowadays they'd crucify me.

I knew this ten years ago.. Ten years ago I transferred out of an extremely liberal .. you guessed it .. liberal arts college.

I knew it wasn’t the place for me when the College Republicans were harassed constantly, and they tried to silence us. We brought in the great Phyllis Schlafly to speak, and all of our materials were vandalized repeatedly. They even protested and tried to get the college to uninvite her.. Yay, free speech.

(Perhaps the MOST disturbing was the ridicule she received from the LGBT crowd for having a gay son with her political views. While yes, her son is gay - he didn’t deserve to be brought up as a political pawn of the LGBT group. Not to mention, he supports his mother.)

Being conservative is exhausting sometimes.

Kirsten Powers has become an evangelical Christian through Tim Keller’s church in NYC. She still has her liberal views on many subjects, but it seems that she is gradually opening her eyes to the ugly reality that liberalism has wrought.
