"I don't mind that they [colleges] are left-wing, I mind that people deny it"

Dennis, I fully understand the division between minding the colleges' being leftist and minding that people deny it.

I agree with you that the country living in such denial is extremely annoying. It ranks up there with lying to oneself. I'm not sure they're related, since as we know the leftists are incapable of seeing themselves in the mirror, and this inability makes them incapable of seeing their own biases as biases, or their own prejudices as prejudices, or understanding that their underlying presuppositions often get in the way of their seeing much of anything.

But I don't know how you can say you don't mind that the colleges (a generalization, of course; I assume you mean "at least" three-fourths of the colleges in the country because I'm pretty sure that's the figure) are so leftwing.

I consider this a grave matter. Education, erudition, enlightenment all are to be represented by one side? What does the other side represent? Well, for the left, that's easy. Conservatives are stupid, conservatives can't read and wouldn't read if they could. Conservatives are the toothless, unwashed WHITE masses living in trailer parks, unable to speak intelligible English, sallying forth every night to lynch a darkie and afterwards getting drunk on cheap beer to celebrate. They're the gun-totin' cowboys throwing beer bottles at Jake and Elwood Blues.

But what are you thinking of when you say that an educated viewpoint is capable of being represented by one side only?
