I was going to say, where’s Bill Buckley when we need him. But I THINK this is satire. I’m not absolutely sure, because I’ve heard some academics talk this way.

“a retrograde coterie of unattractive common folk who seek to impose their irrational beliefs on the rest of us.”
Sounds like those pushing the Global Warming scare, polysexual relationships on students, abortion of healthy children, socialist agitators in the streets...

Wow. Well done. I was 1/2 way through the article before I was sure that he was mocking the Obamites.

I'm proud to be a member of the "unattractive common folk".
What an ass.

Is this what passes for critical thought at one of our premier Universities? LOL!

Bio says he’s a member of the conservative Tory party. Perhaps it is satire.

Then again I was told that Charles Bishop/Bishra was a member of the Young Conservatives. His final piece of writing was a suicide note in which he honored Bin Laden and flew a plane into a bank in Tampa.

The author has clearly been educated beyond his intelligence.

That was great. I was sure it was a lefty at the beginning. When the adulation of Obama began I was a bit incredulous. Then I finally realized he was mocking them and doing a fantastic job of it.
Good stuff. Thanks for posting.

Satire is what I was thinking. If not this Mr. Johnston has some serious issues to deal with, although I’m now so confused I have no idea where to begin.

He appears he has enough life experience to light a fart. I am always amused at college kids who think they have it figured out. Go by some acne cream dweeb.

“the trumpets shall sound and we shall experience in ourselves the glorious consummation of our longing by changing into change and thus remaining forever more”
I am changing into change and will remain thus forever more!
Maybe there is just a tiny bit of satire going on here.
