As a college graduate who has had to sit through many an incoherent tirade directed at conservatives by ultra-liberal professors going back more than twenty-five years, I would heartily concur with the above sentiments. I've never heard one of my profs utter any conservative opinions. They were all either liberal or way far-left to the point of defending Castro and even Stalin for crying out loud. I would bet that few of them ever heard of Von Hayek or Sowell. Chomsky is their hero.

Fortunately most of the students I knew ignored their leftist splutterings. But they do still affect many negatively. It seems to me that the academics with the least amount of analytical reasoning ability and common sense tend towards the liberal arts. In short most of the wackos get into sociology and other mostly useless avenues of study. Which as most readers on this forum know is pretty old news.

My wife is a member of the humanities faculty of a large northeastern university and I get to attend lots of faculty parties. The amazing thing is that they use jargon in social settings as well as teaching settings. Words like "patriarchal society", "hegemony" and others are actually used by these people. The Pauline Kael observation is also very apt- no one admits to having voted for Bush. When they found out that I did they were incredulous, as if I'd admitted to being a cannibal.
