Tenure: The Law of Unintended consequences has struck again. The Lefties will always find a way to exploit any loopholes. Cheating is in the nature of the radicals. Tenure is a lodestone for the radicals. Any protected position is.

So, it was meant as a way for a few Conservatives to be able to safely speak out against the government? Well, it works for the Progressives, as well. It’s a lousy sword that doesn’t cut both ways. This is what happens when Conservatives try to use radicals’ tactics.

Conservatism requires the courage of one’s convictions. Nothing else will suffice. Any sinecure is an illusion for us, but is a reality for the Progressives, because they will use the dirty tricks necessary to make it work for them, and will co-opt the system. Tenure is like alcohol: false courage.
