you’re dumb
i sat with my mouth agape as i listened to this from fox news’s brit hume the other night:
“Conservative students at Duke University are complaining that the school has a nearly all-liberal and all-Democratic faculty. But the chairman of Duke’s philosophy department, for one, suggests the reason his department has so few conservatives is that most conservatives aren’t smart enough to get the jobs.
Robert Brandon says — ‘If, as John Stuart Mill said, stupid people are generally conservative, then there are lots of conservatives we will never hire. Mill’s analysis may [also] go some way towards explaining the power of the Republican Party in our society and the relative scarcity of Republicans in academia.’ “
see below for my thoughts on this kind of thing.
