For what it's worth, I respect David Frum as a thoughtful and intelligent conservative pundit. I don't know if intellectual is the word I would use, though. I'm trying to think of the others now.
How come nobody ever told me that? And when I think of the A's and B's that I've given to students that I hope to never see again. Who knew I could have just failed them for not pleasing me.
Exactly. I mean, as a professor, what satisfaction would failing them give you? Really. At most you'd have to see them again the next semester. That's why the conservative argument that profs just love to stick it to right wing college students is BS.
No, you are embarrassing yourself by repeating myths. Do some homework.

As of now, people are laughing at the conservative movement. Conservatives have allowed bigotry and malarky to permeate its narration for a while now.
They do all the time. However, libs never listen to them. Further, EVERY LIB is convinced that they are intellectually superior to any conservative, in spite of evidence to the contrary, simply by pulling the "D" lever.
There are some, but they're overshadowed by the bright ones.
I always laugh when democrats say they are the intelligent party;becasue then they couold just create all the jobs they want. Tax themsleves or give the money from their deep earnings from that intelligence. I think it is like the fat girl looking the mirror and saying doesn't this dress make me look slim.
Does this explain why most college grads are self-proclaimed liberals?
And then they grow up and become conservatives, at least they do if they ever actually leave the campus and get a real private sector job, pay taxes and such.
Better-educated conservatives began abandining the "absolutist" stance over forty years ago; below is a link to one of the works-in-process which sprang from that fount:
Well that's funny, because for the past four years most Americans have only seen racist clowns like Glenn Beck, Liars like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, and the likes of Sarah Palin. No sign of Rice, Will or other intelligent conservatives anywhere. Why, you'd think the party rank and file was mostly angry white men from the midwest, upper Rockies and the Deep South. hmmm...
Which party took over Congress in 2010?
