Hi George!

My token lefty websites are hilarious tonight. Check out this post from the Democratic Underground:

The point is that I don’t feel safe anymore to freely speak my mind. There is no reason that I should feel this way, other than the facts that a) I am a liberal Democrat, b) I oppose this administration’s policies, and c) at any given moment, the NSA might be listening.

So he's a navy officer, and he feels like he can't speak his mind because the NSA might be listening!

Are you kidding me? Did you ever go to college? Do you have a Master's Degree?

Let me tell you the most politically hostile environment in the country - the higher education system. I have to make an active attempt to interrupt and correct my colleagues, professors, and undergraduate students that regularly talk of George Bush as an "idiot," the Supreme Court as "in danger," and conservatives as racist morons.

I feel concerned to express my opinion every day and in every class because my colleagues and professors literally think I am an idiotic fundamentalist racist Christian who thinks all gay people should be killed on sight. We have a liberal Navy officer thinking that the government cares what he says? I work in a field that employs individuals so radically left that they are unemployable in the public sector!

Liberals - cut out the paranoid lines. They're a joke, and they ignore the obvious and simple regular hostility towards conservatives. In 2008 if Democratic election offices are broken into and conservatives' houses defaced I'll believe liberal paranoia. Until then, I'll occasionally keep my politics out of the classroom so that I can graduate.
