Well, of course, smart people hang out with each other, and especially
enjoy the exchange of ideas. If you want to see conservatives exchanging
ideas, go to a NASCAR race.

I'll bet you find more millionaires attending NASCAR races than liberal or
progressive speeches.




Isn't that wonderful. Who gives a crap about millionaires? You? Not me.


Another name to filter? Jeez.

You care more about millionaires than anyone else on the group. You tout
your 36' Zimmerman like Lobsta' boat, the houses you are building in So. MD.

Also, you need the rich in order to have someone to hate.

There's some specious reasoning for you.


Sorry Gary....
But I forgot to add Krause's condescending remark about liberals on
college campus's and conservatives being at Nascar when I posted. So
with that now being explained to you about the elitist attitudes of the
left,

I again say.... This is why the left can't win elections!

No surprise there, the headline might just as well have read- "The
Smartest People in America are Liberals"



If they were smart, they'd be in the real world working for a

living. I
believe that most choose to teach at the university level to

appease a
feeling of intellectual insecurity. \


Giggle.


That's our NOYB!!! Tries and tries to make everyone here think he is
superior, then slams teachers, saying they are trying the very same
thing!!

College faculties, long assumed to be a liberal bastion, lean further to
the left than even the most conspiratorial conservatives might have
imagined, a new study says.


Most likely because the "conservatives," most of whom might be more
accurately termed "fascists," are less and less satisfied with the real
world and have imagined a right-leaning world where anti-abortion
terrorists can get appointed to federal judgeships and the U.S. military
can be assigned a long term mission of pointless destruction & slaughter
for profit, while everybody stands around & cheers.

This is why the federal gov't has to release it's own fake news. This is
why the highest office holders in the land make speeches about the "fair &
balanced" viewpoint of the most right-leaning news channel.

All looks yellow to a jaundiced eye.

You read like you have been punched in the eye alot. Is this because of
your abrasive personality. You jump to conclusions, assume motives that
arn't there etc. What happened to you to make you this hostile?

IF you READ the article the colleges that have a better balanced facility,
that teach both liberal arts and Science have a mix that is more like what
we see in the general population 50-50.

My personal opinion is that the liberal arts side takes things generally on
faith, or the way they would like things to be and the science side
questions and takes nothing on faith. This usually means that the science
side of the campus is more conservative. It doesn't mean that they are
Republican.

I've had this discussion with Harry, he seems to have the same viewpoints
but is slightly less hostile. IF you understand that the right and the left
have the same endgame, that the methods used to achieve these ends is the
difference between the two then you begin to understand.

Politics is the art of compromise, it's also the art of polarization.
That's what you have fallen victim to, you have been made to feel that there
are two sides, a right one and a wrong one. It's not that simple. Those on
the right are not all evil as those on the left are not all unthinking. The
extremes on both sides are reactionary and unthinking, victims of politics.
