A couple of sober views from libertarians:
Maybe you should
Don't do it
Their views don't generalize well to all fields or graduate schools. I suspect the acceptance rates for law schools are typically quite generous compared to a Ph.D. in political theory; and seminaries will often take about anyone willing to pay for graduate school. There's also a much wider market for J.D.'s and M.Div's than Ph.D.'s in specific fields. One thing is for sure: unless you're going to seminary, you'll have a better chance of getting in to graduate school if you appear to be a liberal.

Unlike my ancient predecessor, this Tullius hasn't had his hands chopped off. With hands attached I offer my thoughts on philosophy, religion, politics, and whatever else I find worth mentioning. I'm conservative religiously and politically (with libertarian leanings). I value reason and freedom but also traditions and "Oldthink." I relish being on the wrong side of history when history is wrong--part of a philosopher's job is to be unpopular. (Views given here may not represent my employers')
