Half of the educrats out there don't know a damn thing. There's the 'theoretical' world, and then there's reality.

The political left, they deal in symbols rather than reality.The general difference between conservatives and liberals is that liberals like pretty pictures and conservatives like to build bridges that people can drive across. And conservatives are indeed conservative because if the bridge falls down then people die, where as the liberals figure, we can always build a nice memorial and make people forget it ever happened and was our fault. They're very good at making people forget it was their fault.

He might be a Conservative to judge by his definition and by the looks of him.

More than a few serial killers have had very high IQ's too.
If liberals are so smart, why don't they seek treatment for their mental illness and try to overcome being liberal?
Liberals are the functioning mentally ill.

Stupid people that manage to control most of the government in this country in the form of elected and appointed officials? Then what does that make the folks out of power?
To: NativeNewYorker
Anyone who has read Mill, of course, realizes that to him, and in 19th century England generally, "liberal" meant being free market oriented as opposed to those of inherited wealth in the British aristocracy, who believed in status. The terms have almost, but not quite, been completely reversed today in America. A "liberal" in 19th century England today in America would be considered libertarian conservative. It is somewhat dishonest for a professor of philosophy at a leading university to use Mill's version of liberalism as if it were equivalent to the Statists who call themselves liberal in America today. Mill had no confidence in the mechamisms of the State nor in the kind of speech fascism that is attendant upon modern American "liberalism." The trashing at Duke today of what today are labeled "conservative" thinkers and speakers and students would be appalling to John Stuart Mill.

The Latin word educare, means to grow or bring forth. Education involves open inquiry, patience, experimentation, honesty, and the ability to know you don't know. The opposite of this process is indoctrination. Indoctrination is putting in - not drawing out. It is an imposing of information, not a search for truth, it empowers the teacher not the student.

Members of academia tend to be a bit smarter than average. There is a good reason for this too." I wonder how many blacks are on the faculty of the Duke philosophy department, and if Mr. Brandon would care to make the same comments regarding their representation.

I've been hearing variations of this canard for over 10 years, that academics and journalists are liberal because they're "smarter" than everyone else. To me it only proves their own elitist biases -- assuming that anyone who disagrees with you is stupid is one of the most foolish mistakes you can make.A M E N ! ! !
Here's another canard I've heard for years which seems appropriate to this discussion:
"Those who can do! Those who cannot teach!"

Okay, everybody, let's take it from the top. Repeat after me:
"Intellectuals" only exist if you believe they do.

A quick search through the department faculty revealed one. But there are a few with no pictures, so I can't say for sure.

Of the faculty members and deans included in the survey, 128 are registered Democrats, 8 are registered Republicans and 28 are unaffiliated.Maybe it's time to start a conservative university and not allow a single liberal RAT in any faculty position. Make sure the applications for professors and deans says:
DUMBOCRATS NEED NOT APPLY.

In "philosophy" you can make an argument for or against anything.
There is no right answer.
