<blockquote><p>The fact is, conservatives living and working among the liberals, among them but not of them, are not unlike field reporters for &#8220;Mutual of Omaha&#8217;s Wild Kingdom&#8221;; we know them better than they know themselves. Since there is an approved left-of-center position on every subject &#8212; just check out The New York Times or NPR &#8212; We know in advance how they&#8217;ll react to every controversy, every utterance by a public figure; we anticipate, politically and public policy-wise, their sighs, their frowns, their ups, their downs.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is a lot what it&#8217;s like at work, except that most people I work with are much nicer. While I don&#8217;t care what others think, and don&#8217;t make my libertarian/conservative views a secret, I know of many conservatives who keep their heads down. I get private emails all the time saying, &#8220;I&#8221;m glad you said that.&#8221;</p>
