Study of public voter registration data shows that Democrats outnumber Republicans social scientists, 11.5 to one.
Economists are the most mixed group, with a ratio of 4.5 Democrats for every Republican. Historians as a group are the most lopsided, at 33.5 to one
The ratios have become more extreme since 2004, according to the study, and age profiles suggest that trend will continue.
“People interested in ideological diversity or concerned about the errors of leftist outlooks -- including students, parents, donors and taxpayers -- might find our results deeply troubling,” the authors say.
Langbert said via email that the data do matter, because organizational cultures “reflect the value assumptions of the members and leaders.” When a trait becomes uniform within an organization, he said, “it generally reflects uniformity of thought. … The absence of views alternative to the social democratic culture in universities implies uniformity of opinion. It is difficult to conceive how with such uniformity there can be a fair accounting of alternative views.”

Even now, the world is full of people who don't belong to either American party.

We now know what it's like had Nazi Germany written history, all thanks to the Democrats.

As a student of history myself, I was thinking long-term. That's where the pool of non-partisan opinion gets a chance to re-assert itself.

Real history...give me a break! There is no way history is going to be written with absolute truth. For instance the (Lone Ranger) was portrayed as a white man...when he fact he was a black man.
History is written by the victors - who's writing the history?

When I was in university, a history professor mentioned to our class that over 90% of American professors are registered as Democrats. It doesn't surprise me in the least that this results in far more historians being Democrat. I don't think anyone knows the reasons; it could be anything from intelligent people being more likely to be Democrat, or smart Republicans preferring nonacademic careers. The only sure part is the numbers.
