As much as we both tried, my wife and I were unable to avoid going through tense moments with some good close personal friends. Political intolerance has always been part of the leftist mindset, in all its incarnations. Usually they fail to have any awareness of it.

At least she wasn't assaulted like Annie Grossman. Isn't it great what liberals have done to our universities? Tolerance In Higher Education Share Post Print November 12, 2008 Posted by John at 5:24 PM The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that an 18-year-old freshman at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, Annie Grossman, was assaulted by four young women on election night. The attackers called Grossman a "racist" because she was wearing a McCain/Palin button. Grossman was diagnosed with blurred vision and a concussion. The four attackers are believed not to be Augsburg students, but Grossman's parents say she has had trouble in school, too: Grossmann's parents, Bruce and Dawn, said that in the weeks leading up to the presidential election, Annie had trouble on campus because of her political leanings and for being a hunter. Bruce Grossmann said a "PETA person" had to be removed from her dorm room because he was upset by a photo of her with a black bear she had shot. Also, he said, she attended an icebreaker on campus and was booed when she identified herself as a Republican. "I don't think she was prepared for the close-mindedness," he said. "I told her she needs to take a lower profile [for the sake of] her academic and her sports careers." That's probably good advice, but it's one more reminder of why our colleges and universities have been described as "islands of repression in a sea of freedom." powerlineblog.com
