You conservatives do *not* make me laugh.  Indeed, I find you rather
frightening in your inhumanity.  I cannot justify our unqualified support 
of a government simply because it caters to just one of our 'ideals'. If
a government wants our support, it should have to convince us that it is 
making steady progress on a whole range of issues.  We should use our
influence as a positive force.  Just because a country is our ally, doesn't
mean we can't admit they are bad, and take steps to move them in better
directions.  The United State of America is one of the best
governments on this planet, but this doesn't mean I'm willing to forgo 
critizing and attempting to change it.  It is not as good as it could be.

He does not speak for the majority of this campus.  I believe that he
is wrong on the percentages of the right-wing verses the others.  We
have a vocal and fairly literate right-wing *minority* on this campus.
I'm not sure if Mr Bly fits this description entirely(sorry, but I just
couldn't help myself, my apologies to Mr Bly).

I think he is generally right here.
