At Liberty to Speak

The Mercatus Center is a libertarian think-tank affiliated with George Mason University (which has the finest economics department in the nation, in my estimation) and one of their more recent speakers was former Clinton budget director, Alice Rivlin. I ask you to consider a) this and b) the fact that she was treated not just with respect but with borderline reverence and compare it to the way that conservatives are treated at Columbia, Harvard, and numerous other colleges and universities all throughout this country. Somehow, someway, liberal has morphed into illiberal and it's a sad, pathetic sight to behold.
