I cannot begin to imagine why that is...

1. It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

[magicarpet]

14. Enema...

[ProudLib72]

2. Because this moronic ad shows the depth of their thoughts?

3. If our economy doesn't discriminate against poor people, then why do poor people have less money?

If our healthcare system doesn't have it out for sick people, then why do sick people die more frequently than healthy people?

9. Excellent analogies. nt

Even basic arithmetic has an evil liberal bias.

7. Well, you got us on that one, Charlie..

absolutely brilliant deductifying. I'm not bright enough to think of something like that, I'm not sure about the rest of you.

12. The culture of my college was VERY liberal.

And I certainly considered myself to be of that mindset. There were times, though, when I felt a sense of pressure from those who had a "More Liberal Than Thou" attitude.

It was the mid to late '90's, and everyone was so dedicated to relativism and de-constructing that it was risky to express any definitive point of view.

I was told by a friend outside that world that I had the annoying habit of qualifying everything that I said; I couldn't just take a stand and stick with it. Meanwhile, my professor was scouring my papers for any perceived offense to the culture I was writing about.

My point here is that the liberal label is not always a guarantee of open-mindedness.

Real liberalism--beyond the political concept--means being open to change. It means questioning information and always considering the broader view.

It means setting aside fear of the new. It should not mean a complete dismissal of the old. It most certainly should not mean embracing the new because it is novel or fashionable.

Stepping down from my soapbox-- If conservative students have it so rough at liberal colleges, then why are so many of the most well-heeled, right-wing policy makers graduates of the most prestigious liberal colleges?

15. Yep...

17. I dunno. Do CORRECT answers on exams have a liberal bias?

Poor Charlie was excluded from the debate team as well!

18. SPLORF!

19. I don't know the answer. But I do want proof.

Do "Conservative Students" get lower grades?

The subject matter might be a concern... example Maths... how much politics in Pure Mathematics? I'm no expert but I'd hazard a guess that the answer there lies somewhere between nil and zero. Maybe closer to zilch.

How about the same comparison for a whole bunch of other academic areas where political leanings have absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand?

Then maybe we can compare the educational institutions themselves and the subjects at each institution of education. How does an education at University of Dallas (a private conservative institution) vs University of Texas at Dallas?

20. Because 98% of them can't read, and the other 2%

watch Faux Snooze?

[ProfessorGAC]

21. That 98% Can Read

But, they don't. That's even worse!

[raccoon]

22. And where is any proof that this is true? Nt
