>"Incidentally, those with the most advanced degrees are usually not hard leftists, but moderate-liberals."

Whew, I am certainly glad to hear that. Although I am sad to say say I missed the survey. BTW, what is a moderate-liberal? Something like a compasionate conservative, maybe?

"And they maintain that position simply to blend in with the liberal bureaucracy at whatever university or institution they wish to maintain favor with."

How clever, and how very devious. I bet they are blending in until their hidden shadow leadership tells them to strike.

>" It is those with PHD's in the Humanities, Sociology and the Environmental Sciences that fall off the edge of the leftist world."

This is the danger as seen by the Flat Earth Society. Those trained in thinking are a distinct threat to absolute authority, ascribed status, and religious conformity. Shame on them--und the philosphy fellows also--don't forget them.

Oh, you should add in the trial lawyers that represent the poor against corporations and doctors and drug companies and doctors. These miscreants have gall to seek PUNATIVE damages.

No wonder poor SADI is sooo upset. Now librarians might be joining the ranks those dangerous people included in the ranks of people in the Liberal Arts.

After all, liberals gain their lable from a foreign word. Therefore reference must be to a foreign concept.

I mean, such an ambiguous term, the root of liberal is Liber--and it means "book" and it also means "free."

This is proof that these liberals lack the certainty of just what it is they mean.

If only they had Ayn Rand's morality and that burning intelligence that comes from the glow of a lit cigarette to know that A is A. Conservatives know their "A."
