Before I enrolled at Ohio University in 2004\u2014at the height of the Bush-Kerry battle for the White House\u2014I\u2019d been warned that the campus was \u201cpretty liberal.\u201d<\/p>\n

That turned out to be the understatement of the century. It was common for professors, who were supposed to be teaching journalism or history, to begin class with a tirade about Bush. About five minutes in, some brown-noser\u2019s hand would shoot into the air\u2014not to offer an insightful comment or criticism, but to parrot everything the professor had just said. These people weren’t just liberals. They were cookie-cutter liberals, who all shared the same appropriately left-wing opinions on every issue.<\/p>\n

I eventually vented my annoyance by becoming a conservative columnist for the campus newspaper. I accepted\u2014no, relished\u2014my Emmanuel Goldstein status on campus. Even if half my classmates hated me, at least I had a brain of my own. I inspired about a dozen letters to the editor each week. They all sounded exactly the same, filled with liberal buzzwords and cliches.<\/p>\n

Really, is there a more dedicated conformist on Earth than the college liberal?<\/p>\n

What else could explain why they signed a petition to legalize \u201cfourth trimester abortions\u201d?<\/a><\/p>\n
