re: Non-partisan

I would love to find out how many Republicans are actually in any of these organizations, but you can bet this information would not be easy to find out.

I suppose some of these could be Republicans. Pick one.

At some point, whenever I point out the overload of Democrats in a particular group, like academia or the press, the people I am arguing with usually retreat to the idea that of COURSE more Democrats would be there, since they are prima facie, better, smarter, more perceptive, more sympathetic, and more reasonable than Republicans. End of discussion. Hasn't happened here yet, but if the thread kept going, it would pop up sooner or later.

I have seen enough "non-partisan" organizations that somehow always manage to favor one party over the other, that anyone invoking the phrase automatically makes me suspicious.

"Non-partisan" isn't what you say. It's what you do.
