Dear Closet Conservative:
Only you can remember the point in your life when you realized who you really are deep down inside. Perhaps it came suddenly. Maybe you just woke up one morning and began to have troubling thoughts. Maybe you began to realize that you weren’t the same as all the other little boys and girls. You wondered how many others had similar thoughts they just kept to themselves for fear of being ostracized.
Or maybe it was later on in life that your emotional conflict ensued. Perhaps you were sitting in an economics lecture hearing a professor boast of the brilliance of Karl Marx (while not fully appreciating the benefits of deodorant and a daily shower). You might have been in a history class learning about the deeply engrained oppression and racism that pervades American society (from a liberal who sends his kids to private school and lives in an all-white neighborhood).
Regardless of when it happened, you now realize that those Marxist ideas don’t make any sense in the real world that most professors so adamantly avoid. You also realize that you value freedom and liberty over the totalitarianism advocated by your Marxist professors.
In other words, you now realize your true political orientation. You are a conservative.
Your feelings may have been confusing at first. After all, your class readings and textbooks said you were wrong, and, doubtless, your “tolerant” professors still tried to convert you.
But, I am here to assure you that things are different now. Sure, there are still some people who feel threatened by your beliefs. I call them conserve-o-phobes. But now you know that it’s their problem, not yours. You are good enough, you are smart enough, and, dog-gone-it, other conservatives like you just the way you are.
Still, there are other students at your university who share your conservative beliefs, but are too intimidated to say it out loud.
And that is why, on September 21st, I am proud to announce that the Leadership Institute is sponsoring the first National Conservative Coming Out Day. Now, we need your help to let all the other oppressed campus conservatives know that it is time to come out of the closet, too.
If you want to know more, contact the Leadership Institute and have them send you some literature. And if you like what you see, you can contact your school’s Sociology Department, Office of Campus Diversity, and Women’s Center to ask them to co-sponsor your school’s Coming Out Day activities.
With your help, we will begin to create “safe zones” around the nation for all of those who have been politically oppressed. These will be reassuring and comforting places where you can meet with people who will give you the affirmation you need. They will help to soothe your inner child in a way that no liberal ever could. You can even wear that Christian symbol around your neck or openly proclaim a moral absolute without being charged with discriminatory harassment by campus conserve-o-phobes.
It will be hard at first but, please, remember these important words: Marxism is an emotional disorder, not a political philosophy. And political correctness is really the only form of hate speech.
Join with me brothers and sisters as we fight to restore liberty in America on September 21st. God bless you all and God bless America,
Dr. Mike S. Adams

Mike S. Adams was born in Columbus, Mississippi on October 30, 1964. While a student at Clear Lake High School in Houston, TX, his team won the state 5A soccer championship. Mike Adams graduated from C.L.H.S. in 1983 with a 1.8 GPA. Mike Adams was ranked 734 among a class of 740, largely as a result of flunking English all four years of high school. After obtaining an Associate's degree in psychology from San Jacinto College, Mike Adams moved on to Mississippi State University where he joined the Sigma Chi Fraternity. While living in the fraternity house, his GPA rose to 3.4, allowing him to finish his B.A., and then to pursue a Master's in Psychology. In 1990, Mike Adams turned down a chance to pursue a PhD in psychology from the University of Georgia, opting instead to remain at Mississippi State to study Sociology/Criminology. This decision was made entirely on the basis of his reluctance to quit his night job as member of a musical duo. Playing music in bars and at fraternity parties and weddings financed his education. Mike Adams also played for free beer.
.
Upon getting his doctorate in 1993, Adams, then an atheist and a Democrat, was hired by UNC-Wilmington to teach in the criminal justice program. A few years later, Adams abandoned his atheism and also became a Republican. He also nearly abandoned teaching when he took a one-year leave of absence to study law at UNC-Chapel Hill in 1998. After returning to teach at UNC-Wilmington, Adams won the Faculty Member of the Year award (issued by the Office of the Dean of Students) for the second time in 2000.
.
After his involvement in a well publicized free speech controversy in the wake of the 911 terror attacks, Adams became a vocal critic of the diversity movement in academia. After making appearances on shows like Hannity and Colmes, the O'Reilly Factor, and Scarborough Country, Adams was asked to write a column for Townhall.com.
.
Today Mike Adams enjoys the privilege of expressing himself both as a teacher and a writer. Mike Adams is also an avid hunter and reader of classic literature. Mike Adams published his first book, Welcome to the Ivory Tower of Babel, in 2004. His second book, Feminists Say the Darndest Things: A Politically Incorrect Professor Confronts "Womyn" On Campus, was published in 2008.
