The Things that Make One a Flaming Liberal

"Liberal" was never a word I applied to myself. Neither was "hippie". If pressed to ask for my political party, I would probably say Republican. Apparently, however, I have some free lovin' ideals that aren't approved by the right wing set.

I go to a small, faith-based university that prides itself on being Christ-centered. The student body is largely Christian and has a propensity for firmly believing what they believe because they believe it.

I've never been one to buy what was being sold without looking at all the options and it frustrates me no end when those around me live an unexamined life. I ask a lot of questions because I want to make informed decisions for myself.

As a result, I am labeled a liberal hippie.

If asking questions gets me that title, I'll wear it proudly.

Excuse me as I go hug a tree.
