It's those ones that are not measured on the merit of their work, but on how popular their ideas are to the self-appointed gatekeepers of intellectualism.

Truly, they do not belong in our True Intellectual kingdom. We must close the gates to keep them out!

Oh, you are damn right that the taxpayer that is paying these self anointed intellectuals should have every right to kick them out of our True Intellectual Kingdom by cutting their funding.

Let them survive in the free market of ideas, then. If they are so great, they surely don't need public funding to continue their activities.

The last three or so comments of yours prove you don’t do much self-reflection and that you hold others to a standard you cannot make yourself.
