The college Student's Guide to Conservatism

Hi everybody.
I should apologize for being so inactive on my blog, for those who did read I feel I have disappointed you, but I am making a commitment to resume writing. With that said I want to talk about college life, especially what college life is like for conservatives. As a conservative at a liberal institution I have found life is very difficult for us conservatives, we aren’t very vocal, we don’t bash the other side publicly, we keep to ourselves, but should our real opinions slip… we become pariahs. This is the state of affairs in the American college. So what should we all do to try to maintain our conservatism and still be accepted by our peers as well as maintaining our grades.
One easy thing to do is find the conservative groups in your school, be wary of groups that may be to wedded to a particular personality or candidate, look instead for more independent groups. Attend political protests in your area. Protests are a big place for conservative teens to “come out of the conservative closet” so to speak. You will be surprised how many of your peers you will find and protests.
Finally one big step is to find out who your conservative teachers are. This is not always easy, and conservatives usually won’t tell you out-right, as that would jeopardize their position. So there are a few questions you could ask. One question is what is your perspective on the federalist papers? If they actually read them, they are far more well-read than the average professor. If they say they agree or like them and have a positive response, you will find common ground with this professor and let your true feelings be heard. However if it is an unfavorable response, you know that you are going to keep your mouth shut for interest of self-preservation.
There is tremendous irony in the fact that liberal professors who profess tolerance of all people, who are tolerant of all races, creeds, religions and so forth, can be so intolerant of their conservative students and neighbors. While at the same time the conservatives who they often see as the great evil, tend to be much more tolerant of their liberal students.
My call to you my friends in my same position, be vocal, but preserve yourself. It is not In your interest to suffer academically. Start clubs, find your safety zones, be politically active, but save it for outside of the class room.
It feels so nice to be back to blogging, thanks for tuning in, and remember until next time
