Colleges and universities should be "overwhelming(ly) liberal in nature." Students should be exposed to all ideas. And I mean liberal in the traditional sense, not the political. Given that, you are absolutely right on with your last statement. From my experience, yes, colleges tend to have more liberals (in the political sense) than conservatives. I'd say it's due to the generalization that conservatives who do post-grad degrees are more inclined to go into the private sector because it offers greater financial rewards, and (we) liberals tend to go into higher ed because we're less concerned about the financial reward and prefer the life-style. Even though there are more liberals on campus than conseravtives, I have had students tell me stories about being forced to accept ideas from both liberal AND conservatives profs (by "forced" I mean they better write papers or answer questions that support the prof's leanings). However, these have been rare instances. Like so many issues today, people like Horowitz take these rare instances and make it sound like a pandemic. One of my best friends on campus is a conservative historian (our history department actually is overwhelmingly conservative), and we argue all the time about issues (it helps that we mainly do this at the campus watering hole). This is what education is about. I wonder how diverse the convesation is at Liberty College?

That must be why the democrats control every branch of government.... Get over it Rich...

Did RichiO move?

JC, You need to understand these guys have a hard time with the realization that the republicans are just as, if not more, corrupt as the democrats. If we're lucky, they might eventually vote for alternative parties... On the other hand, most of them still believe invading Iraq was the right way to fight global terrorism...

Paul Craig Roberts Former Reagan Administration official and Supply-sider.

Not true. Prior to this losing streak he was floating around 4th or 5th in the league in GAA and Save pct. His slump started a little before the Olympic break, when Lindie was over-playing him and wearing him out. I'd be willing to bet Joe a six-pack that Miller will be a top 5 goalie within the next two years.

That's quite the conundrum...

I'd look into this a bit more. As long as the charity is a qualified charity (501c3), and as long as you personally don't materially benefit, you should get a deduction. Why should it matter what aspect you specify if it's a charitable organization? While it's admirable of you to donate and not expect the deduction, I think you are being given incorrect info. With respect to Babs, she doesn't materially benefit, so she should still get the deduction. Why would this surprise anyone? This is standard Bush (substitute any other politicians name if you like) operating policy.

Geez, you mean it's not true...??

Oh, oh! That sounds a lot like my kindergarten days...Am I a closet neo-con?

Kids and politics

Why do you consider AIPAC a "right-leaning group"?

the article Found it with a quick google. Haven't read it yet. Will do so now.

From the bit on Triplett from BB.com: "Levy said Tripplett will serve the role as a penetrating tackle, and the team will use a bulkier player to play alongside him."

I think the point he was trying to make is that a could part of the conservative base no longer supports this administration, which has significant implications for the midterm elections.

As I recall, we could've had DE Darren Howard with that pick. He's had a very solid career so far.

Yes, I should've added, "and they've completely bungled it."

I guess where I see them different is their belief in using a unilateralist foreign policy and the muscle of an unchallenged super power to pursue their strategic global objectives. Otherwise, dem=rep and rep=dem when it comes to using government as a redistributive mechanism to reward cronies.

the only point I disagree with: this administration is different.

Bungling Bush Presidency He's done such an excellent job; how could the media do this to him?

I wonder if this puts Oakland in the mix for Ngata now?

Where was the press in his first 4 1/2 years? Where were the attacking liberal democrats? Do you seriously believe he's been a good president or this has been an outstanding administration? Or is it just a witch hunt?

Geesh! Thank you Hillary Clinton. Bush is going down because it's a conspiracy of the liberals and media....good one! If only we could all think for ourselves....
