Liberal Colleges?

A recent study found that over 70% of all college professors are liberal. This is an area that is supremely frightening to the average conservative. How could such bias exists in such an important field?

Are they now going to begin to form their own colleges, a sort of dumbed down version of education equal to the dumbed down version of news they get on Fox?

Is it possible there are more liberal college professors because those who are more disciplined and insightful when studying their subject are also more disciplined and insightful when it comes to analyzing political situations?

God Forbid....Ack... Republicans are saying. VE MUST EXPLAIN...

Here are a couple of examples of how Think Tank Egogtistical Republican Demigogic Shitforbrains (TTURDS)...sorry about the goofy Acronym... have mobilized to once again falsely define our party and possibly even drive the best qualified instructors out of our universities in favor of dimwitted college dropouts who also happen to be Republicans.

Here is an article in which the writer say he suspects most college professors just have a Messiah complex and think education is more important than it really is. I guess he figures downplaying the importance of education is better than anyone thinking that often when people become more well educated they also become more liberal.

TTURDS (Republican think tank guru David Horowitz and his team of extremely well funded cronies) have even published a book about these "Dangerous Professors" Take a look at some of the commentary by readers of this book. Many five star ratings and comments like...'This tome is overdue but necessary for parents of and all new undergraduates." In other words the reader here is saying one should choose a university based upon whether the professors there agree with your political opinion...GAAAAAAA

UH....duh...maybe we should choose our news that way too...hu huh. I uh...duh...mean...uh ...what is truth anyway...hu huh?

Here is a nice article from Mother Jones that pinpoints exactly how dumb and dangerous this notion that we should examine academia for liberalism really is.
