The idea that the university might hire a conservative to teach conservative studies has the campus in hysterics. Kinda funny, especially if you're aware of how liberal the typical faculty are at most U. S. universities. Academicians are some of the least open-minded folks on the planet which is a sorry state of affairs when those very folks are supposed to be "pushing the boundaries of new knowledge" with their research and scholarship.

In terms of full disclosure, my own political views are best described as libertarian, and I did not vote for either major party's candidates in the most recent national elections (senate, congress, president). I did vote mainly Republican in local elections, but that's 'cuz I live in Georgia and most of them ran unopposed apparently because they couldn't find any Democrats around to run against them.
