Kreisleriana had some very interesting
things to say about OT Rant, rant rant:

The Nation has a whole issue about right-wing backlash towards
"liberal" university faculty. I've spent about half my life in
academia, and I've still never met a "liberal dictator professor." :P

I met quite a few, in a community college in a rural area.

Still, I guess freedom of belief only applies if you're politically
correct.
