So, let's see. You used to call yourself a liberal. But things changed after 9/11, and now you're not sure what to call yourself anymore. Try "neo-neocon" on for size.

I'm a lifelong Democrat, born in New York and living in New England. Surrounded by liberals on all sides, I've found myself slowly but surely leaving the fold and becoming that dread thing: a neocon. My friends and family are becoming sick of what they see as my inexplicable conversion, so I've started this blog to give vent to my frustration. I have a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and my politics make me a pariah there, too. Little did I know that I moved in such politically homogeneous circles. Why the apple? See this.

A few questions about this and other surveys of academia:
Does the survey include the "entire" faculty or primarily the arts, social sciences, and the various "issues" departments with their disciples? If the former, I believe the results grossly understate the extent of left/liberal bias in our colleges and universities. It's difficult to promote ones political views in physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc.
A liberal bias in academia? What will they think of next? Of course there is a liberal bias in academia. The left liberal crowd are as bigoted in their own way as those whom they condemn and I would venture to say that a conservative will be more likely to listen to a differing opinion than to make snide or condescending comments. I tend to agree with this survey. Of course the left will dispute it.
