I've been thinking a lot recently about the disparate gap in reasoning between the mainstream academic elites and the rest of America. Why is it that liberalism is so often an outgrowth of scholarly people? The most prominent colleges in America---the ivy league schools---are often the most liberal environments, and produce the writers, artists and politicians who are often the most liberal. Why is this so?

Cuz if you can't do it, teach it. Cuz they can't do real work.
Welcome to FR. Checking your post history, you made your first two posts on two separate threads at EXACTLY the same time. WTF?! How did you manage that?
2 browsers/tabs open?
Yeah, but don’t you have to toggle back and forth? Wouldn’t you lose at least a fraction of a second?!
maybe he’s been lurking since ‘96 and has learned all the tricks...?
I was going to go to law school, then decided I could better serve my country with a doctorate in history. You are correct. The liberal rot being taught in even relatively conservative universities (like Texas Tech) is unbelievable, and far, far worse than it was 20 years ago. We must deliver new conservative blood into academia or we’re all comrades of the left.
lot of clones on FR
Many of them learned to despise the country because of their antiwar dispositions.
I have often wondered the same thing. Also the media.
I actually think it may be some type of conspiracy tho I have no idea what. The reason I say that, is the media and academia (along with religion) are perfect vehicles for propaganda, in other words they are exactly what a person would choose in order to bend people’s minds.
It could be as simple as Satan.
clowns too
They’re now called “trones” on FR..trolls and clones.
academia is cant function outside institutions. they dont deal with the real world...
How about this: He had windows open on two separate computers and pushed the “post” button at the exact same time?
I think there is a Fabian-like faction in the United States whose sole purpose for the last 50 years has been to slowly change the way Americans think. This is best accomplished through media control, literature, education, entertainment, etc... I don’t think it is any accident that these nutcase lefties are in academia. They only seem crazy now - give them another 20 years, and there will be even more radical thinkers in their place.
and cloned clowns as well
that’s the best explanation yet!
We have become a nation of ‘conformists’ aka ‘followers’. Children are taught that to succeed they must attend institutions of higher learning.
Creative thinking is not taught in colleges or universities...it is suppressed. Average students cannot overcome the intense indoctrination and brainwashing practiced by liberal professors - if they want a passing grade.
Most college graduates are competent at accumulating a ‘set of facts’ and matching that knowledge to exams. It ain’t science...it’s human nature. The path of least resistence.
We have become a nation of followers not innovators.
