Budding conservative writer shapes up to liberal academic establishment.
Strike Thee With Curses is a young writer's journal of jousting with liberal bias in academia and media.
The Ranger, being apolitical - or is it non-political? - knows nothing, of course, about these issues, but he has been told on occasion that 'liberal academic' is, on some campuses (campi? - no, surely not), an oxymoron.
Whatever. The Ranger cannot comment, having sworn never to discuss religion, politics or sex. (And having never visited a university.)
Nevertheless, the observation can be made that it is always heartening to see young writers - of any political persuasion - making lucid argument, countering error, and generally adding value to political discourse.
Which is really not difficult given the quality of some - paid - mainstream journalists.
Write on, LEM!
