EXCELLENT insights, and from a (typically) leftist academician no less!
On Monday, I will share this article with my university colleagues . . . it will absolutely ruin their day!!
Actually I would love to see the Democratic Underground reaction to this story.
LoL!
LOL
And I hope it gets broad coverage here - it will heap "insult to injury" on the whimpering libs - Sanity is breaking open all over the world - that will really baffle them and, hopefully, drive them to go sulk in their corners - and say there

I intend to do the same... LOL
Personally, I really liked the passage: ... "But doesn't he scare you?" I asked finally, unable to contain my personal feelings and throwing the lesson plan out the window [stunned with disbelief]. "Because of Bush's ideas many people in my country think that all of you are terrorists." Rahaf and most of the others just shrugged. Maybe that was all true, they said, but he was still a good president.
I found these same sentiments expressed almost word for word in my two other classes. In addition, some of the most articulate students expressed intense misgivings about central Democratic electoral platforms, including gun control, limitation of the death penalty and especially abortion and gay rights. Just the word "homosexual" made many of them cringe and click their tongues in that uniquely Arab way of showing disapproval.
The liberals may be able to start understanding why they are losing, but I don't know if they will ever be able to accept it. BUT, I predict that this specific guy (gal?) will not be a liberal much longer.
