100 people

For the most part I agreed with most of the things that were said in the excerpts from 100 people who are screwing up America. When he talked about celebrities being liberals, I totally agreed with him because they often claim to be so open minded but they won't consider the conservative point of view. People who are liberal try so hard to be liberal that they don't see the good things from the conservative point of view as well as the overall good things in America.
The other point that I really liked in this was when he talked about college campuses, and how many of them try really hard to stay diverse. My high school did something really similar to this, and on paper it was a really diverse group of people, but based on opinions and ideas it wasn't diverse at all. Everyone was extremely liberal and had complaints about nearly everything going on in America, but this is the country that we're all pretty blessed to live in. People complain all the time that whatever group is degraded or oppressed, but there is almost no way that if this group was totally oppressed that they could say that. If things are so bad they should go to another country where they really have no opportunities. Many liberals are so set on not offending people that they forget that we have freedom of speech. It does bother me quite a bit when people say its okay for one group to say something its okay, but if another group says the same thing it is wrong. I'm in no way saying that conservatives are right 100 percent of the time, but so many people make these comparisons that I wonder what they would think if these comparisons were more accurate than they are now.
