The only reason conservatives aren't teaching in universities, is because the liberals won't let them. It is a good old boy's school of libs... My friend's son, wrote a conservative piece that ended up in the OPED of the NY Times his "lib friend professors" told him he would never teach in another university...open minded hey?

Not necessarily. College professors tend to be liberal, I think, because they live in a sheltered world of academia and tend to think in terms of the way the world "ought" to be. We all would like a perfect world. But that will never happen, and pragmatic people realize this. It has always been like this, IMO.

Professors don't get jobs without passing the political litmus test. From the start, they go along to get along. Being a college professor isn't the same as being a top educator. Many college professors are very poor educators and require their students to parrot them in order to get good grades. Being a "simple man" doesn't necessarily mean being inarticulate or poor at school, any more than being a "complex man" means the opposite. Being "complex" can mean having myriad psycological and social behavioral problems. Bush's earning a Yale BA and Harvard MBA precludes his being tagged as poor at school, mindless, or small-headed. Your mindless, repetitive rants, on the other hand, suggest that you are.
