Tolerance does not mean embracing evil thinkers, or their philosophies. <BR/><BR/>Trusting someone based on their academic achievements is never a good idea. There are many intellectual scholars, take Christopher Hitchens, author of the bestseller God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, for example. Should I trust the atheistic secular humanist philosophy expressed in his book just because he is an intelligent scholar? The obvious answer is "no". <BR/><BR/>I hope that you are not actually as naive as you seem to be when I read your comment. I would like to see you graduate from college with a truly open mind. In my experience, I have learned that many people that identify themselves as being liberals are some of the most closed-minded people I have ever met. They want to bombard you with their leftist liberal words and ideologies, but when you try to debate their position, they simply will not listen at all. <BR/><BR/>If you truly want to have an open mind, and be a compassionate, tolerant human being, then how about displaying some interest in the ideas of conservatism? You seem to feel that a university's proper place is to teach students that they should consider all aspects of an idea. If you honestly believe this, then begin by trying to understand the conservative viewpoint. You only defend liberalism because it is what you are familiar with. As an intelligent liberal college student, don't you think that it is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the opposing ideas of conservatism? Then, and only then, will you be able to demonstrate to yourself, and to others, that you are indeed a tolerant person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59324506101124457.post-84132107579735981732007-07-16T10:52:00.000-07:002007-07-16T10:52:00.000-07:00My response to liberalcollegekidYou are correct. ...My response to liberalcollegekid<BR/><BR/>You are correct. It is not un-American to protest the government. I also protest the government including the current administration at times. <BR/><BR/> As for your characterization of universities as places where,to paraphrase, the marketplace of ideas thrives, are you talking about historically, the way it should be today, or the way it truly is today? I would say that there is little tolerance for conservative ideas on most college campuses today. I would add an extra thought. There are some things in this world that should never be tolerated. Examples are terrorism, suicide bombings, anti-semitism, incitement to violence, disruption of talks by conservative speakers on campuses (few as they are) etc. <BR/><BR/>In your second paragragh, you talk about about a direct correlation between education and tolerance, as well as liberalism and caring for other people. First of all, tolerance for what? Other races, ethnic groups? Ideas? How much tolerance do you see for conservative ideas on college campuses? How much tolerance do you see for Bush, Cheney, Christianity, or Israel on college campuses? Racial and ethnic tolerance is fine, but what about tolerance for other ideas? Of course, liberals say that it is their ideas that need tolerance since they "go against the grain", (not in universities they don't) but mention Bush, Cheney et al, and see what kind of tolerant reaction you get.<BR/><BR/>I also would not be so quick to draw a connection between knowledge and liberalism. Of course, this is my opinion, but I think that liberalism is largely based on emotion, while conservatism is based on reason and logic. You probably disagree.<BR/><BR/>You think that more education means being more liberal and caring more for other people. Have they really convinced you that conservatives want to starve babies and kick little old grandmothers out on the street? C'mon! We are every bit as compassionate. The difference is that the left treats people, especially women and minorities, as poor little disadvantaged children, who can't get through life without government doing it all for them. Conservatives want to get government out of the way because we believe that in America, everyone is capable of making the most out of their lives. It is we who believe in true equality.<BR/><BR/>You think professors should be trusted at face value? You think that their opinions have added validity? I disagree. Book learning and degrees do not equate with life experience and common sense. <BR/><BR/>Finally, you mention the assault on "progressive" professors by the "radical" right. I suggest you do a little research into the word "progressive". I remember it well during the Cold War. That was how the Communists described themselves. Today, it seems many left-wing folks are using the term again instead of describing themselves as liberals. As for the radical right, I don't know who they are, just as people on the left don't know what a radical leftist is. Radical is a term we throw at each other's side thinking it doesn't apply to our side. (I readily confess that I use it to describe people like Ward Churchhill.) It is interesting though that those on the left have so many negative things to say about America, while those on the right praise our country. But assuming there is a "radical right", what do they influence? The left has the universities, the press, Hollywood, the TV networks etc. All the right has is basically talk radio (which the Democratic Party would like to destroy with their "Fairness Doctrine".)<BR/><BR/>I do not propose the elimination of left wing professors, only that their activities be exposed to the public. It is our business how our tax dollars are being spent to educate our children. No one, not even Ward Churchill is being carted off to jail, not in this country.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I appreciate your input, and I have checked out your website.Gary Fousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014739065121483409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59324506101124457.post-23280066332904579192007-07-16T00:36:00.000-07:002007-07-16T00:36:00.000-07:00I have a few reactions to your post:First, it is n...I have a few reactions to your post:<BR/><BR/>First, it is not un-American to protest the government. In fact, that's how a democracy is supposed to work. For centuries universities and colleges have served as places where democracy can be truly seen as people from all sides of every issue are able to participate in the market place of ideas. The fact that there are groups who are anti-American is in and of itself what is so great about living in a society that protects freedom of speech.<BR/><BR/>Next, as far as liberal professors go; you should know being on a college campus that there is a direct correlation between education and tolerance as well as education and liberal leanings. It seems, the more people know the more they care about other people, thus making them more liberal. That being said, the idea that we should question professors is a fine and noble idea. However, these people have the academic background that qualifies them to instruct in a collegiate setting, thus they should in fact be trusted and their opinions do carry an added amount of validity. It is very possible to learn from people who are from a different political party. Otherwise, someone like me could never have taken economics.<BR/><BR/>I have not met a single person who has entered a classroom a conservative and left a liberal or vice versa. That's not where political ideologies are formed, its where they are discussed and the sooner the radical right realizes this we can move on from this war on progressive professors and start talking about things that matter: like healthcare and Iraq.<BR/><BR/>Check out our site at http://liberalcollegekid.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
