"Liberal" and "higher learning" are oxymoronic terms. Ivy Leaguers in particular. They'll sit and listen intently as any of the world's Islamo-Fascist or Communist authoritarians come to their universities to babble their insane nonsense, from Ahmedinejad to Hugo Chavez.
But a former US Marine and long-standing Police Commissioner from the most storied police department in the world? Oh hell no. They can't be having *THAT*!
The murder rate in NYC has dropped another 27% so far this year, way down from the historic highs, which coincidentally occurred the last time the city had a Democrat mayor. Now we're looking at numbers that will even beat the statistics from the 1950s.... and that's just a comparison of raw numbers. It doesn't factor in that in 1950 the city had a population of half its current size, and still had a vibrant middle class that hadn't yet been taxed into extinction.

Quite simply, liberalism is a disease of the brain.
