What’s so different with universities preventing conservative professors from receiving tenure? Do you think it’s a coincidence that universities are so dominated by liberals? Liberals are simply the most intolerent people on the face of the earth. They are so arrogant about how right they are, that they don’t even realize it.
Unfortunately, this isn’t surprising in the slightest, particularly to this Federalist Society member who is looking for a job. There are people in the legal profession who liken membership in the Federalist Society to membership in the Nazi Party.

Thanks for the ping. I think that’s a pretty good portrait of the current “debate” for the political soul of America.
It also shows why conservatives have an inherent disadvantage in modern democracy, and why the margin of error for conservatives in politics is always going to be smaller. Conservative thought requires a high degree of intellectual rigor, a requirement liberals can always disclaim by appealing to popular sentiment.
The Ethicist, Randy Cohen, said politics should not be a factor... that reasonable people differ over politics. "I am tempted to believe that those whose politics differ from mine lack 'judgment and personality' and taste in clothes and finesse on the dance floor," Cohen said. "But this proposition is unsupportable." The lawyer ignored the advice, Cohen wrote in an update. He or she...rejected every Federalist Society member.Thanks Behind Liberal Lines.
