soccer guy—

Are you really saying that one can’t be a republican and be pro-civil rights? Saying you “detest republicans” isn’t exactly a tolerant statement.

Also, neither the republican party nor the democratic party is centered only around things like gay marriage and gun control. Abortion, homosexual marriage, and gun control won’t be resolved quickly because the entire country is divided over it. Its not some simple ploy to keep what you think is the platform. Ever heard of the whole…fight between state and federal governmental rights? A conservative view of the constitution? Or does that even come in to your argument between republicans or democrats?

apart from that…

I have a lot of conservative and liberal friends, and none of us fight about politics. Cornell is definitely a liberal school, but people are not mean about it unless you are really loud about an uninformed view. If you say something ridiculous, sure, someone will say something, but otherwise, differing views are fine.
