He is such a contemptible little shit.

:lol:  He's right, though.

We have always been at war with Eastasia

Well yes, that will be the narrative in case the Democrats win big. And it will become an established fact in short order.

This time next year, Derspiess will be defending it as a fact always known.

:huh:

You may want to more actively scrutinize your beliefs  ;)

I don't think that is true. Maybe for a few select departments but my experience of the History studies was everybody constantly ripping everybody else a new one.

And it certainly was not true for engineering. Do you really think peer review science and studies is all about a circle jerk? I mean yes I think it might be true in some disciplines but...

What was your major anyway?

I don't know.

Though you are the guy who usually labels me and tells me what I think. Well ok you have only done it a few times. BUT IT HURT MAN.

Well from your post today, we know you agree with Sessions that universities actively prevent their students from doing what I suggested you do.

No, he's not. It's just one more article of faith for Republicans convinced that higher education is indoctrinating students. They should know, it's been repeated endlessly on FoxNews, that epitome of political introspection and diversity.

I don't think so.

He'll just imply it with emoticons and "am I kidding or am I not, nobody can tell" one-liners.

Pretty funny that a bunch of non-college educated Republicans and guys who haven't set foot in a university in a decade keep repeating this. Do you have any proof?

I've been in college the last four years at a large, public university in a liberal, urban environment that is majority minority and majority female and have yet to run into an inability to question beliefs of anyone.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Oh...Huh. Well how was it? :P

It was a blast.  Mish-mash of political science, geography, foreign language and history.  Didn't really use it in my career, but I married me a Latina!

Do you want me to list all the times conservatives have been shut out of speaking at universities?
