Who is the Modern Gadfly?

        Living in Chicago, a liberal city full of Democrats, I think a gadfly would be anyone who is a Republican or Conservative. A gadfly is supposed to be irritating to the general population and really if  a true Republican/Conservative would begin to speak in front of a large crowd, in a classroom, or at work, in a restaurant or even sometimes at home, there would be strong opposition from the popular position. Whether or not one agrees with their stand does not change the fact that it is a rare stand to take in our city.
