I once had a dog named Jake that I liked very much. He was a well-behaved dog. When I asked him to sit, he would sit. When I asked him to shake, he would shake. When I asked him to stay, he would stay. Because he was so eager for praise and approval, it was easy to control his behavior. That old dog was a lot like the liberals who read my columns. 
Because I am very good at predicting the behavior of liberals, I did a very risky thing yesterday by taking credit for an email I did not actually send. It was all part of a little experiment on tolerance and diversity, which has yielded results much like I had predicted.
Those who read yesterday’s column read my spoof apology for an email I claimed I had sent to the Department of Sociology and Criminology at UNC-Wilmington. The email, sent under the subject line “Bin Laden Found!”, had a picture attached which showed the terrorist behind a cash register wearing a “7-11” vest. The responses to my apology were predictable. Here are a few of the highlights:
“You are not a conservative, you are a rude and insensitive bigot.”
“You should resign from your position as a professor immediately. Don’t wait for a conviction for hate speech.”
“You are a complete embarrassment to academia.”
“I hope Al Quada [sic] bombs your office.”
“You are an arrogant bigot.”
“I bet you’re not sorry you fraud. You just don’t want to lose your job.”
