Amen, CarolC.

I agree with a whole lot of what's being said in that article, believe it or not, even though I haven't often found myself in agreement with the Neocon doctrine I've seen Hubby post.

There are many characteristics of the doctrinaire academic left that have always turned me off. All in all, however, my views fall into the left-of-center category. That said, I observe even more hardheaded dogmatism and unthinking meanspirited vitriol coming from the right than from the bigmouthed but ultimately ineffectual voices of the blowhard ivory-tower "politically correct" left.
