And liberals have had a stranglehold on higher education for how long?

Non-issue.

It depends on how far left one leans as far as liberals controlling colleges for years. I don't think many of our prigs think they do control learning. They really believe that left is the direction of students since it surely as hell is.

Thought: could it be that those who most value intellectual rigor rooted in the scientific method- ie highly educated people- are simply smarter than you, and that is why an overwhelming percentage of them are liberal?

Nah.

Better to pretend they are brainwashed sheep, and that the towers of intellectual progress are in churches and the town halls of southwest Kansas or whatever it is.

Nope, I don't for one minute believe that A) they are smarter then me, and B) that is isn't purely ideologically driven and not some ivory tower dream as you so ridiculously claim.

This goes along with liberal claims that the media is entirely right-wing
