Upon the advice (or misadvice) of a couple of my Democrat friends, I attended a speech last night given by the most infamous Ann Coulter. The crowd was an interesting mix, consisting of probably every conservative on campus (which is a huge minority at St Olaf), and probably considerably less than all liberals and whatnots all packing into revered Boe Chapel (of all places...) and there was much applauding, standing up, booing, cat calling, cussing, and walking out. I still don't even know why the school spent our money on inviting her to speak, when obviously she wouldn't have much of a speech and just stand around insulting everyone who didn't agree with her. What got me aggravated was that she personally insulted several people who lined up to ask questions. I cannot believe she had the gall to say "Liberals don't believe in God," and her response to one of the questioners: "Wanna know how I know you're a liberal? You're wearing a hat!" She sure knows how to talk from her ass.
Alright, venting over. Before last night I wasn't entirely sure if I was truly a liberal (all I knew was that I was anti-Bush), but my lack of patience for someone who refuses to respect the other side's opinion (or even worse, their existence) and that she happened to be conservative, plus a few other factors confirmed my political standpoint.
In other news, this week and next will be [not fun] for me. I have papers, tests, projects, and a whole mountainfull of other stuff I have to do. I'm praying to survive till April 27, when my current load levels off.
