This doesn't mean anything. Unless it's Hillsdale College (which doesn't accept federal funding to stay independent)I'm generally not impressed. Not with their political opinion anyway.
I've seen a documentary a while back...with a camera crew going to Universities to ask student about politics. Asking a few who the vice president is...and they didn't know it. And everyone knows about Academia's bias towards Big Govt. ideologies and preference to Central planning.
But keep patting yourselves on the back if it makes you feel smarter or in the smart camp.

& being liberal isnt a bad thing.
What im essentially trying to say, is nothing about a college education makes one any more informed, specifically politically, than the next guy. Everybody is fed bull****, and few can see past it.
Was just watching real time with bill maher, a show i can barely stand to watch once in a blue moon because of the stupidity and liberal circle jerk. A quote that i just heard that stands out to me 'bill clinton raised taxes and it created 22 millions jobs'....no.....the dot com boom created millions of jobs and clinton merely raised taxes at the right time. They want to bash bush for drone strikes, all the while ignoring the fact that obama has ordered 5 times more drone strikes than bush did. Before i get too far into any rant, im going to stop and hopefully my point resonates, just because one is 'educated' doesnt mean they cant fall for some b.s.
Btw, that looks like an edumacated person in your sig lol

Are there some degrees that are worthless? Sure but the world is changing and becoming more technically advanced and the jobs that are high paying are requiring degrees.
Your home computer isn't going to teach you anything in that regard. If you got nothing from college, that sucks for you but it has for millions of people and there are millions more coming from out of country just to have the opportunity to study here in the States.
I got alot from college, most in the math and science fields. The rest, was by and large filler b.s. and a waste of time. My philosophy class went like this; ' i want you guys to think outside the box, think for yourselves'.....proceeds to teach us how we should think. And apparently, judging from my writing class, im supposed to live in guilt for being white.

A school renown as a pillar of "American Conservatism"
GTFO you're the same as the liberals, you are biased as hell.
Of course the majority of the school will 'll vote republican.
Jesus, this is the type of quarrels that divide the country and doesn't help to get **** done.

I'm biased towards Capitalism and freedom. Individual freedom, fiscally or otherwise. But other then that I'm independent. If a Republican doesn't follow the script and embrace Capitalism, a small Govt that doesn't get in the way of said Capitalism, no taxes.....I generally don't support him.
It's about the ideology not the party.

Doesn't help get **** done? If done means more govt. and more bills passed that undermine freedom and enterprise...then it's better that **** doesn't get done. Sometime nothing being done at all is more productive then something horrible being done in the name of...."we got something done in a bi-partisan matter".

Come on man, don't be angry because I showed the least educated states tend to vote republican. The poorest people in this country in the south, vote against their own interest. Makes no sense to me.

For supposed liberals a lot of you all sure do love to stereotype the south and trump up your own intellectual superiority in comparison. Some of the chillest posters on this board are from there. What's the point of everyone on here constantly ****ting on each other?
