[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The areas that you cite are highly educated. Education level is a bigger driver in party affiliation. The more educated you are the more likely you are to vote for Democrats. The less educated you are, the more likely you are to vote for Republicans.[/quote]

That is a result of indoctrination in the colleges, not education[/quote]

DP. "Indoctrination in colleges"?  You mean being taught to think critically? Not accepting the status quo? Questioning authority? Examining history and society through different lenses? Challenging widely-held beliefs? Learning about other cultures and political systems? Fostering intellectual curiosity? If that's "indoctrination," I'll take it. [/quote]
No, I mean being failed in classes for not thinking critically and not accepting the current leftist agenda, whatever that may be. Colleges are a group think exercise now.[/quote]

Only people who didn't go to college would think this.  There are hundreds of majors in a college and thousands of courses.  Most of those courses have zero to do with any kind of politics, left or otherwise, and those things are so completely irrelevant to most of the college professors that when someone says something like that you can immediately tell they have no idea what a college campus is like.  There are also thousands of colleges in the US, and some are left-wing oases and others are run by televangelists, and then there is everything in between.  You're showing your ignorance by spouting this group think nonsense.  Also, group think is the opposite of critical thinking, so you don't even know what it is you are opposing.[/quote]

Sorry, I wrote that and have a Master’s degree. The culture of colleges today restricts conservatism. Professors have been let go for thinking outside the current political box[/quote]
