Of course I'd support it. How could I not?

Do college Democrats actual know the underlying philosophy and details of the stances of which they support and advocate? I don't think they do. If they do, it's a superficial understanding.

How about college Republicans? I have the same concern, but less so. This group tends to know why they support a certain issue and a certain candidate beyond the simple bullet points. There's a deeper understanding of the concepts of the issues they oppose.

Why is this? I think it's because college campuses are highly liberal places. Expressing thoughts that are deemed "anti-woman" and homophobic or anti-gay are quickly squashed -- not because such thoughts are thoughtfully refuted, but because the zeitgeist carries them unto victory. It's intimidation.

What are these stances that are deemed anti-woman, homophobic and anti-gay stances? Not supporting a women's "choice" is deemed anti-woman. Thinking that women are more natural caregivers is deemed anti-woman. Thinking that there are prominent physical, emotional and psychological differences between a man and a woman is deemed anti-woman. Thinking that modern day feminism is a sham is anti-woman. Thinking that a woman who engages in casual sex, and them thinking nothing of it, is unattractive is deemed anti-woman.

Let's move on to supposed homophobic or "anti-gay." If you think same-sex acts are wrong and unnatural then you're called a homophobe. If you do not support same-sex "marriage" you are chastised. If you believe that having same-sex attraction is a disorder, and that nothing about it is okay or beautiful, you are labeled a bigot. Accusations of being narrow minded, unintelligent and redneckish shall be in full force.

Never mind the philosophy behind these views. Those that disagree with you might want to hear about it, but often times they fail to fully grasp the concepts presented even when they do. Why is this? That's another issue that should be talked about thoroughly. I suppose it's due to pride, arrogance, naivety and idealism. Add in smugness and how they were raised. It truly is not enough to "raise kids who don't harm anyone"; that's the bare minimum. It's like teaching your kid to write his full name or know his home number or his address.
