Why I Am A Liberal and Other Conservative Ideas

by Everett Piper

In a delightfully refreshing and revealing tone, Dr. 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. 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.
