"Answer the question!" is the mantra shouted from the balconies at conservative lectures on college campuses. Unfortunately, they can't use the phrase "Answer the question!" discriminately. They shout it as the question is being asked, as the answer is being given and especially when they don’t like the answer. It would be a reasonable request if campus liberals could formulate intelligent questions. When given the opportunity to question the conservative movement's most prominent leaders, campus liberals line up at the microphones to show off the fruits of their professors' labor.
