Intolerance from the Tolerant Left
One would think — in a land that champions free speech above all else, even life — that dissenting opinion would be tolerated by the tolerant Left. It seems that this rule is generally true; that is, unless the opinion aforementioned dissents from that of the Left.
American Communists On Campus
I had always known that there was something wrong with communism. I remember as a child when the Berlin wall fell and when the Soviet Union crumbled. It was a big deal and I heard about it all over the news, but I was too young at the time to understand what was going on. When I became older I learned more about communism and believed I had a firm grasp on the idea, and that is why I was shocked when I would walk from class to class on my campus and see booths set up by communists in Seattle promoting their ideology and propaganda. It was then I realized that I needed to learn more about communism. So I did. Using the Dead as Propaganda
Many liberals — though admittedly not all — like to somehow try to play both sides. They want to be against the war and against the president and yet for the troops. I do not think it works that way.
Professor Doors Home to Intolerance
Day after day I walk past the newsstands on my way to class and each paper will have a new headline that sounds very similar to the previous days’; “Millions of Iraqis turn up to vote, but…”, “Suspected terrorists found and captured due to the patriot act, but…”, “Another nation pledges its support to the war on terror, but…” Admittedly this is the liberal media, so it is only natural that they search for buts in every story they come across (or invent), but the sad fact is, at least on the campus where I live, their opinions are mirrored by the intellectual community here, going as far up as to the professors themselves.
An Honest Argument Against Abortion - Pro-Choice Activists On Campus
When tackling the subject of abortion, I believe one of the most important steps is to not demonize the other side. It is crucial to remember that people from both points of view — pro-life and pro-choice — only believe the way they do because they think it is right, and consequentially believe their opponents to be not only wrong but often immoral, unethical and, even, evil. I will refrain from using such classifications of individuals as much as possible, and prefer instead to tackle the logic of abortion.
