Really? A 19-years-old student in Austin a.k.a the liberal bastion of Texas is not likely to be a right wing extremist.

Teapottiers and guns are a dangerous combo.

How is UT Austin liberal when the majority of the students are from the south or religious Asian countries? I'm confused.

Sure, they welcome people of diversity but you'd better know your place at the college. Rich white people at the top. Everybody with color, gays, and atheists at the bottom. It's crabs in a barrel. If you want to pay good money for that.

UT Austin has problems. It's not known for classical liberalism. Perhaps, red communism is more their style.

Read on classical liberalism:

The poster said Austin, not UT Austin.
Austin is a liberal bastion in Texas..sanctuary city, very green, many progressive ideas, mass transit..similar to Seattle. The property taxes to fund all this are very obvious.

I lived in Austin for one year. There was not one thing progressive about the city. I've traveled all over the south. I couldn't tell Austin from a big town in Tennessee. Although, Tennessee has much better forests and mountains. No offense. I know you love Texas.

I guess it depends on how liberal you are artsyguy.
Austin is definitely not California type liberal.

Austin is one of America's greenest cities:
