Cal
Cal Thomas has outdone himself in his recent column where he decries "liberal bias and discrimination in Colleges against conservatives". Talk about the pot calling the kettle black when it comes to bias against those who don't share your views.Practially every utterance Mr. Thomas makes is discriminatory when he refers to those of moderate or liberal persuasions. This is, of course, par for the course with extremists on both sides of the issues. There is no middle ground with them. It's their way or no way. There are times when the rhetoric descends into the realm of the terminally stupid.
Thomas goes so far as to attribute the acceptance of homosexuality as a liberal left conclusion as if it were an idiologically debatable issue. Can he actual believe that a person just arbitrarily gets up one morning, looks in his mirror and says, "to-day I will be a homosexual"? Has it ever occured to Cal that
he is way out of his league and field of expertise when it comes to assigning his labels of good and evil
to those not born into his particular genetic groove? Like it or not, a family that does not have a least one non heterosexual member in its midst is a rarity. As to why this is, you may as well ask why some are born with gentle traits, while others are not. Cal goes on to say that 88% of liberals want more enviromental protection "even if raises prices or costs jobs". I had to read this twice to believe it. Yes, Cal, even if it raises prices and costs jobs. That always seems to be the bottom line with that line of reasoning. Never mind the noxious waste being dumped into our rivers, ignore the poisonous air our children are forced to breathe, just keep the costs down.....at all costs. Yes, Cal may be right, Academically speaking, there may be preponderance of liberal teaching in the colleges....and long may it reign.
