Academia all over the nation is so left it us mind boggling. I can’t comprehend it. One of my professors a real leftie, commented on my conservative ‘stance’ and told me he was surprised because I was bright enough to be a liberal.
Can you believe it? I honestly burst out laughing right there!
Liberals live in a world uncomplicated by reality and messy facts that would destroy their utopian ideals. Your informed conservative “stance” threatens their high minded, elitist views because you might be so brazen as to point out the illogical consequences of their ideas. They see conservatives as intellectual neanderthals and you do not fit their mold. That results in a form of cognitive dissonance for them. I really admire your intellectual courage and integrity.
