Broadly construed, indeed....

Carl Marks - Do you work for Newt Gingrich? You're pretty good at taking things out of context. Here's the full description:
The Fellow will teach three cross-listed courses in Political Science and Economics focusing on the relationship between political and economic liberty, broadly construed. Possibilities include courses on Adam Smith, Frederick Hayek, Milton Friedman, libertarianism, and/or others on the intersection of governments and markets, in public policy or government regulation.
Just because they name a few of their favorites at the Jack Miller Center doesn't mean that's what Emory is looking for. Just take a look at some of the people who have held that post-doc in recent years and you'll see the position is indeed very broadly construed.

Do we really need to teach this crap? What's next, Ayn Rand and Ron Paul on the morality of capitalism?

No, that would be too interesting for political science and most grad students couldn't keep up with the nuances

Calling a 2-1 VAP a post-doc is goddamn asinine.

"Just because they name a few of their favorites at the Jack Miller Center doesn't mean that's what Emory is looking for."
Come on, dude. If they wanted a 'broadly construed' position, they'd describe it in a 'broadly construed' fashion. When the possibilities you list include individuals who are all heroes to the modern conservative/libertarian movement, or topics that are generally of interest to libertarians (including libertarianism itself!), it's pretty clear what message you're trying to send.
But, hey, feel free to send in an application proposing to teach courses on Keynes, the Nordic welfare state, and liquidity traps, and let me know how it goes!
