University of Tennessee Professor Claims 'Diversity of Thought' is RacistProfessor Victor Ray
Ray’s article was focused on calls for broadening ideological diversity on campus, as Republican students have frequently been silenced or unable to host speakers who share their views.
In his piece, Ray lays out “three faulty premises” of support for diversity of thought. He claims that people on the right are not supporting the freedom of ideas in “good faith,” that that conservative ideas are not marginalized in higher education, and that it “should be strongly questioned is the very idea that conservative thought is diverse.”
Ray also claims that “the majority of people advocating for [diversity of thought] are white men.”
Here's the key:huh?

He claims diversity of thought is racist. So everyone must conform to the Liberal ideal or be called out as a racist?
Sorry I overuse that word. I actually consider myself a Thomas Payne Liberal or Libertarian.Here's the key:huh?

The people who have taken over the Democratic Party are NOT liberal.

I'm not a conservative, though I voted for Trump.I think the problem is that nobody ever defines what conservatism actually is. Though, many do arbotrarily identify as such.
Conservatism means smaller government and more liberty.
To that extent, 'conservatives' have completely lost their way. They expand the government just like the Democrats do. People complain about Dodd-Frank, but 'conservatives' gave us Sarbanes-Oxley. Conservatives put the nation in debt equally as arbitrarily.
If conservatism means limited government, then, you have to ask what the basic role of government should be. The Framers asked that question, had a Revolution, and wrote a Constitution. They said the role of government should be to protect liberty. Not run a welfare state, which both sides do, and not to be the policemen of the world.
How can you be conservative and cut food stamps, but then turn around and not cut a single cent of spending overseas? We're broke. 21 trillion in debt,a 4 cent dollar, and they're willing to start more wars and print more money.
If we're intellectually honest about our conservatism and we want smaller, limited, government, and personal liberties protected, then, we have a pretty good guide to what being a good conservative actually means. It's called the Constitution.

I believe everyone has the right to do any damn thing they want to do as long as it does not interfere with another ones rights.
I believe whoever needs the least of their income to survive, should give to those who barely eek out survival needs. But I also believe it should not be a bottomless pit of need. If you can't afford to feed yourself you should not be allowed to produce more to feed.
I don't actually believe in protecting Freedom of Religion. Anything can be called a religion and therefore such a law can and will be proven to be dangerous to have. How do we fix our Muslim problem who want to use our own rights against us to conquer us. But I do believe in freedom of association for everyone regardless of reason. We should be free to be racist or homophobic if that is what we want to be.
And because I am a month away from becoming homeless along with my family I believe in safety nets. I went to college got an AA degree. Nobody cares. I'm a Vet, nobody cares. I type 85 wpm, nobody cares. I worked the same job for 20+ years, nobody cares. Everything I trained for is obsolete and no longer done. COBOL Programmer. 31M10 Multi-Channel Radio Operator, Bank courier. All are obsolete due to technology improvements. And I can't even hold a flag for a living because I would pass out from the exertion in the first hour. But I have to be homeless before they'll give me disability. So yes I believe in safety nets.
huh?

Liberalism also means small government and more liberty... so would you say that liberal and conservative mean the same thing? I think it’s worth exploring the differences...I think the problem is that nobody ever defines what conservatism actually is. Though, many do arbitrarily identify as such.
