Wondrin,

Trust me. You will find the folks at USNA to be far more tolerant of Liberal views than the folks at your average college are of Conservative views.

Either way, as Bill suggested, when you’re 18-23, the last thing on your mind (unless you’re a policy wonk, in which case you should be at Yale or Harvard) is politics. In my four years at USNA, I recall having two discussions of any kind regarding politics.

Your time will be taken up by real academics, sports, and then blowing off steam during down time. I was there when Bush Senior won the Presidency. Election day and the next morning was just like any other day.

Honestly, don’t sweat it.
