I've read viewpoints as far left as communist though, and nothing seems to move me from my Liberal (Libertarian to americans) possition. If anything, I find myself more inclined to compromise when facing viewpoints closer to my own.

One of my closest friends is a political science major and as a conservative was annoyed by the nearly extreme liberal views his American Politics professor possessed (extreme from his perspective.) However I have noticed an increase in flexibility of his view points (not to mention an increased acknowledgement of where I'm coming from on mine) and can only hope that my own liberal views are appropriately tested by a conservative American Politics professor when I take it this fall.
