Why I Am a Liberal and other Conservative Ideas

by Everett Piper

In a delightfully refreshing and revealing tone, Piper exposes

the potential fallacy in today's liberal academia and political

spheres. He masterfully addresses educational, social, political,

and religious issues that have shaped American culture.

Liberal readers will be challenged to consider Dr. Piper's viewpoints

and conservative readers will be thrilled to find words to express their

frustrations with much of the current American culture.

Dr. Piper speaks boldly and unapologetically on issues such as natural

law, unalienable rights, self-evident truths, and the unavoidable

consequences of ideas on personal, political, community, and corporate

wellbeing.

His commentary rhetorically confronts the reader to consider issues

such as freedom, justice, common sense, human dignity, and moral

objectivity. Piper is specifically passionate in arguing that postmodern

political correctness is really nothing more than an unvarnished

ploy to consolidate power among society's elites and to, thus, restrict

the individual freedoms and rights of the general public.
