I would have loved to learn the hard hitting facts about communism v free market as a kid.
I would have loved to hear debates between college deans and others.
I recall watching Buchanan on CNN’s Crossfire before he was heavily censored. And I was always disappointed in my fellow liberals failing to outfox that brilliant man.
That made me respect conservatives more, but actually, I also recall how riveting William F Buckley was. Only got to hear him twice, but wow! He seemed unassailable.
Debates like that probably taught me more than anything else.
Well, right now Liberals have succeeded in making anything ‘un Liberal’ unfashionable and suspect at every level.
It’s why people (especially the young and the uneducated) are so completely won over and compromised in their thinking...because THEY always want to do and be what is ‘cool’. They cannot tolerate any language or views that expose their lack of understanding.
No Conservative I know is comfortable in expressing his/her views because of the torrent of childish and groundless conduct of Liberals who ALWAYS interrupt and shout down any views not identical to their own.
I’m sure it’s why Hillary THOUGHT she had a lock on the WH! NO Conservatives in the US could or would voluntarily express their views in the work place, in public etc. It SEEMED to her and her creatures that she was THE choice.
