That’s the only logical conclusion to draw from comments made by Jere P. Surber, a pointy-headed professor of philosophy at the University of Denver, as he explained why academics are liberals:
It is because we liberal-arts professors … have carefully studied the actual dynamics of history and culture; and we have trained ourselves to think in complex, nuanced, and productive ways about the human condition that so many of us are liberals …
We’re here and mostly liberal by practical deliberation, factual investigation, and rational and moral conviction.
Shut the hell up, Surber.
Because in addition to being impractical, irrational and immoral, we conservatives are also a little testy.
