Music: MetallicA!!! Duh
Mood: Pretty damn good
So I was reading the Bemidji paper today. I know… bad Nate. But I skipped the parts about red lake and the Schavio stuff. I like to read the opinion sections because I like hearing what people have to say… even if it is stupid or sucks… like what I read today.
Mike Reagan is the oldest son of Ronald Reagan In his section he was making a problem out of nothing… something all politicians seem to be very good at. See… when there is a problem, it is suppose to be scary and in need of change. Fear… as bush knows… is a great way to get people to see things your way. Anyways, Mikey here was discussing what he claims to be a crazy and scary fact that he says everyone knows… but until recently no one has written about. According to a new study… some 72% of college professors are liberal!!!
Oh no!!! Say it isn’t so!!! Somebody nuke all of the universities we can't have that spread!!!
I was being facetious there… can you tell.
Ok, so 72% of college professors are liberal. What does that tell me? That smart people are liberal. It takes a person with a little education to teach at a college level.
What does it tell Mike Reagan? That “There is evidence of possible discrimination against conservatives in hiring and promotion.”
See what I was saying… suddenly it is a conspiracy. According to Ockam’s Razor… the simplest explanation is the most probable. And a conspiracy in all of the universities is not very plausible at all. Not to mention… where did he pull that out of his ass??? Again, he later says that the number of liberals increase in more prestigious schools. Again… smart people… nope conspiracy.
Mikey uses a professor that his daughter supposedly had as an example of one of these crazy people who somehow teaches college. He quotes the professor of telling everyone, the first day of class, that he is a liberal, and does not like conservatives. Any conservative writing will receive a bad grade. Basically any conservative better drop his class cause he will fail them. I think that mike is exaggerating here a little bit but I'm not sure. He even calls this professor a dunderhead. ??? Who uses that word? I suppose its better than retarded donkey lover.
Even if this “dunderhead, liberal” professor is real, it is a very extreme example. I'm very sure that not every “liberal” professor will fail people just because they are conservative. You see, unlike (many) conservatives, liberals are a little more open-minded and actually think before they make assumptions or comments. At least I do.
But Mikey doesn’t finish there. I quote him again… “Tragically, this is how hordes of fellow liberals teach.” How tragic indeed if it were true, but hordes… now we sound like a bunch of trolls invading his land and raping and pillaging… what’s in your wallet!!!
So now the “dunderhead” liberals have universities in their evil grasp, but conservatives still have everything else in theirs. The way I see it… score one for the good guys!!!
Carpe diem, and don’t drink and drive.
Stay between the lines…. The lines are our friends.
Quote of the day: “And then… and then he was like… whoooaaaa!!!”
