He probably meant to refer to himself as an academician.
I’m very disappointed in some of you Freepers. This guy came on here and acted very polite. He said he was here to try to understand the conservative point of view. Some of you didn’t even come close to trying to educate him on some of his views. You just started bashing away. These are EXACTLY the kind of people that are trying to understand conservative priciples and very easily could be swayed in their stances by polite and factual points of each topic he raised. Do you think bashing him will sway him or even keep him interested in keeping an open mind to conservatism. I swear, some of you act like you belong on the DU forum. Sheesh.
