It’s a figure of speech for being empty headed. I’m sure you’ve seen or heard what goes on in Facultys of Arts around the country, eg feminazis, Islamofascist-antisemites-“in-disguise”, “rape culture” retards, “that’s racist” sob sob and so on.

It’s primarily present in those enclaves because out in the light of day, that is, the real world, the bullshit can be smelled a mile away.[/quote]
First, Cruz received a B.A. in Public Policy from the prestigious Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, of which such impractical eggheads as David Petraeus are graduates. Cruz was a champion debater, which is probably why you confused the two.
Second, public policy falls within the realm of the social sciences, which themselves are assuredly science. It’s ironic that you mention law, as it saddles several social sciences and some humanities to boot.

Not in my experience as an undergraduate at a state school in Texas and as a graduate student at a private school in DC, which I admit isn’t exactly a large sample size. I have never encountered a professor who could be accurately described as a leftist or Marxist. If anything, most social science and humanities classes I’ve taken have been taught by middle of the road moderates who are staunch defenders of capitalism. The notion that academia has been thoroughly penetrated by radical leftists is much mor myth than reality. Sure you have your bombastic quacks, but they are a small minority to be sure.

Not a yank, but I can add a few of mine into the Marxist bracket. Two were out and out Trots, and another was a card carrying socialist, feminist politician. Another advocated some fairly aggressive state controlled centralization policies to, “Curb the damage capitalism wreaks on the environment.”
These were the ones who wore their affiliation on their sleeves, mind you. But I struggle to recall more than one who could be described as right, or even center-right wing.
This was in the Trinity College Law faculty, by the way. The largest in Ireland. So these are not Professors in a backwater college.

From what I have read, you owning anyone here is
Do you know where the “97% of all scientists agree on Climate Change” came from ? Have a look, the science is not so settled…
"One frequently cited source for the consensus is a 2004 opinion essay published in Science magazine by Naomi Oreskes, a science historian now at Harvard. She claimed to have examined abstracts of 928 articles published in scientific journals between 1993 and 2003, and found that 75% supported the view that human activities are responsible for most of the observed warming over the previous 50 years while none directly dissented.
Ms. Oreskes’s definition of consensus covered “man-made” but left out "dangerous"â??and scores of articles by prominent scientists such as Richard Lindzen,John Christy, Sherwood Idso and Patrick Michaels, who question the consensus, were excluded. The methodology is also flawed. A study published earlier this year in Nature noted that abstracts of academic papers often contain claims that aren’t substantiated in the papers.
Another widely cited source for the consensus view is a 2009 article in “Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union” by Maggie Kendall Zimmerman, a student at the University of Illinois, and her master’s thesis adviser Peter Doran. It reported the results of a two-question online survey of selected scientists. Mr. Doran and Ms. Zimmerman claimed “97 percent of climate scientists agree” that global temperatures have risen and that humans are a significant contributing factor."
Not to mention, this phenomenon was originally named Global Cooling. I remember in the 70’s when Time ran their panic piece. Then when that turned out be a fraud, it was changed to Global Warming. Then finally Climate Change. How convenient, name it after something that has been happening since the beginning of time. I also have yet to see even one of Al Gore’s predictions come true.
Bam also just bought a beachfront home in Hawaii, so clearly he isn’t too worried about Climate Change.
If you think $24 Billion is alot of money for our Federal Govt, I have a bridge to sell you.
The bloom is off the rose with Obama. You can only give him a pass for so long. Too many lies, distortion, and backroom shadiness. Not saying other president’s haven’t done that either, but he deserves the ridicule he is getting.
If enough time passes, you eventually find out a person’s true nature. Bam turned out to be a petulant narcissistic child who will take his ball and go home if people disagree with him. The same way you dislike Cruz (which you are allowed to do), you demonize people who disagree with Obama. Sad you cannot extend the courtesy being shown to you.
If you really want to call out a chicken shit position on a social issue, I can find no better example than Obama’s “evolution” on gay marriage. Funny how that happened when polls showed him struggling at that time.
Obama made his bed, not he must lay in it.

In sociology the trend is rather stark. Actually, it’s been quantitated, by a sociologist no less and also published under peer review. Now although I believe the study and the numbers this is still new territory and subject to debate in interpretation --however the numbers are pretty solid.
It has disturbing effects and outcomes associated with it for the social sciences and sociology in particular.
Now I will grant you that SM is far too freehanded with the “radical left” and “Marxist” monikers given that we aren’t Continental Europe. That has, frankly, always kind of stuck in my craw because it diminishes the impact of those words when they are applied to straight Marxists. It is alarmism through semantics in my view. And I will grant you that leftists in the States are “moderates” over in Europe. But we are using the US’s political scale here, and there are certainly more left-aligned professors than right. And I believe it is probably accurate to describe at least a sizeable portion of them as “leftist” according to the US political spectrum.
Also, for the record, I don’t consider Obama or HRC to be moderate at all and so the “leftist” moniker fits them both nicely, especially as we are using the domestic political scale and not Europe’s.
This is the conservative approach to his comment. Materially I agree with him and LegalSteel more than I disagree on this. It is pretty common.
On climate change: whether you believe that it is natural or man made, hear me out.
Go into your garage, start your escalade with windows rolled up and start your vehicle.
Now have your wife stick a banana in your tailpipe and wait … maybe if she is nice she will resusitate you.
This would be a microcosm of the earth and its current state. We will die if we dont get this shit figured out.

This I pretty much agree with. Unfortunately I don’t like your analogy as a microcosm of the earth but that’s another topic.
I do believe the climate is changing. What I don’t yet buy is the mechanisms for that change because they are too politicized. In other words, that humanity is the cause for nearly all of the climate change in the last 60 years or so. I do, in fact, believe that humanity likely has affected the change in some degree. What that degree is–not to mention underlying mechanisms in global climate–remains the question.
The wreck that this debate has become is one of the strongest illustrations of why politics (and political money) and science should remain as separated as possible at all times. You can’t question anything legitimate without being called a denier, which is basically just a fancy way of people sticking their fingers in their ears and throwing a tantrum because what you’re bringing up is uncomfortable to contemplate.
There are a number of very, very legitimate questions to be pointedly asked on the subject, but you can’t do it if you want to maintain political viability–either way, because one side’s base will call you a denier and the other side’s base will say you don’t deny enough-- and you can’t do it if you are talking to partisans, and you can’t do it if you’re talking to…well anybody really.
Both sides politicians want their pockets lined. Gore has made a fortune on it and is a damn hypocrite and some others on the other side aren’t much better.
Frankly, I refuse to cripple our economy with a whole bunch of gov’t imposed carbon taxes and use taxes and resource taxes and regulations this and regulations that until a) simple, non-bureaucratic steps have been taken b) All other major economies in the world have agreed to the same binding steps and are in compliance and c) the science is settled. Really, actually, mechanistically settled.
b) is because this is a global problem and IF humanity is the cause of 90%+ of all this it will not be solved until ALL the major players agree to the same limitations–if they do not we hamstring our abilities to compete with political and economic threats to our primacy (i.e. China and other aspiring economic superpowers). That represents a direct threat to us as a country.
c) is because the science isn’t there yet. That’s the hard truth, and if somebody doesn’t like it I don’t care. Between doctored data, political action groups, and political money being funneled into this topic it’s far from reliable in my mind but that is another thread entirely and I don’t want to derail this thread more than I already have–this is about Ted Cruz and the POTUS. And remember, I said I believe the climate is changing above.

Yeah, I don’t think that is remotely close to accurate.
I don’t think the Earth and billions of years of evolution and development is on the verge of collapse if we don’t stop driving SUV’s yesterday. Something tells me there is a fairly simple fix out there.
Anywho… Cruz has zero shot in a national, and he is much better as a Senator anyway.
Aragorn: fully agree with all your talking points ! Back to the Cruz-zer.
Being he is the first to throw his hat in the three ring circus,
why did he do it in Virginia instead of his home state of TEXAS ?
That seems like it would have been a more logical place, no ?
