"We try to hire the best, smartest people available. If, as John Stuart Mill said, stupid people are generally conservative, then there are lots of conservatives we will never hire. Mill's analysis may go some way towards explaining the power of the Republican Party in our society and the relative scarcity of Republicans in academia."

Of course, the saying that

"Those who can, DO
Those who can't, TEACH"

might be applicable here.

70 Democrats to 1 Republican, huh?

I guess that Republican is as much of a "token" as, well, like the time they let one Jewish doctor into the local country club.

Snotty, condescending liberals like this make me sick.

Does his quoting of JSMill not say it all about the libs? They think they are smarter than the whole rest of the country. Don't you think we ought to SHOW THEM who is smarter? Gooood grief, I cannot believe this idiot.

Snotty, condescending liberals like this make me sick.

Snotty and condescending is the MO of most liberals; I know only a handful who are open-minded and reasonable.

Nobody seems to consider what Conservatives were like in 19th century England. Liberals probably on the issues were closer the today's Conservatives and would be horrified by the modern Liberals.
