You were brainwashed, but haven't a clue that you were.
Thanks to the world's greatest propaganda ministry.

How can I prove my point?
Simply this:
Few, if any indoctrinated Americans know of or can accurately define the republican form of government and its source.
No, it's not a "constitutional republic."
And a republic is not synonymous with a "republican form."
Furthermore, Americans have lived under a benevolent totalitarian police state under the control of collectivists and usurers since 1933. In fact, the constitution has been "legally" bypassed, by "States of Emergency" declared over the decades.
All this (and more) is in the public record, available in any county courthouse law library. But few Americans bother to read their own laws. Shucks, Congress enacts laws it has not read.

Senate Report 93-549
War and Emergency Powers Acts
"A majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency rule. For 40 years (as of the report 1933-1973), freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have, in varying degrees, been abridged by laws brought into force by states of national emergency."
As of October 2014, thirty states of emergency remain in effect, one reaching as far back as the Roosevelt Administration.
United States, Senate Report 93-549 states: "That since March 09, 1933 the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency."
FREEDOMS ... ABRIDGED BY LAWS ... UNDER EMERGENCY RULE ...
Constitutional U.S.A. (1787 - 1933) R.I.P.
We haven't been a "free nation" since 1933, the year of capitulation to the creditor. We've been under a perpetual "temporary" State of Emergency, since that year. We've been a socialist nation, since 1935. All ten planks of the communist manifesto have been enacted or implemented, via Executive order. Congress hasn't dared to declare war since 1945, yet still authorized the destruction and death, done on orders of its true master.
"Free Americans" need government permission (license) to wed, travel, fly, own a business, buy medical supplies, give medical treatment, enter occupations, transmit radio, build a house, and / or own a dog. "Free Americans" have to pay a tax to live and to die. They pay a tax on what they earn, spend, own and save. If that's "Freedom," perhaps we need a new definition for the term.
Good post jet graphics. And I certainly didn't feel free when Obama went on his "raise taxes" so he could funnel more of our money to government rampage. A free man would be able to say no, you get enough of our hard earned money. Now we are ruled by the greedy who believe government is the answer and how wrong they are.
But now we have a group of conservatives who are actually proud of not being educated, shunning it as an evil, ignoring that conservative leaders are (though I don't think OP falls into this category).
Yes, I believe the OP himself has a degree from Virginia Tech (VT).

Oh, for Pity's Sake! Most low-income people don't even bother to vote, are very a-political in general. If you're working for wages, you're paying SS/Medicare tax, and most likely federal income tax as well. That 47% includes a lot of people on SS and in the military.

Exactly my point.
Everything that you don't like, agree with, or understand is labelled socialism and treated with paranoia, outrage and fear. Actually, for the most part these things aren't even truly understood and are simply hated because they aren't in line with what your 'side' believes.
And he's somehow different from all the people that didn't go to college (i.e. not "brainwashed") and still can't answer your stupid question? Your huge wall of text is one of the worst logical proofs I've seen in awhile.
Thank you for your kind words of support.
It is duly noted that you have not offered any facts in rebuttal.
Addendum:
The source of the "republican form" (promised in Art. 4, Sec. 4 USCON) is the Declaration of Independence. Since the USCON is the "Supreme Law of the Land" that makes the republican form also part of the Supreme Law of the Land.
Which is why "The Powers" are deliberately seeking the collapse of the USA, so to eradicate the republican form and replace it with a socialist democracy / benevolent totalitarian police state / bankrupt government.
I live in a very conservative area and our national ratings on percentage with higher education degrees has been at the very bottom for quite some time now.
Studies have shown that the average self-identified liberal is more affluent and has more and higher college degrees than the average conservative. These sorts of statements have often been part of a "Liberals are better educated" headline.
My question is: are liberals really better educated? Or do they just tend to have more university degrees?
I ask this question because I differentiate between schooling and education/real life experience.
Is there a reason why liberals get amnesia about big parts of their constituency when it's not Election time? Who are all of those college brainiacs with foodstamps, subsidized housing, low wages, gang tattoos, no photo ID, Obamaphones that the liberals court/bribe to vote for them to stay in power? Where were those brainiacs on Election Day, this year? And if liberals are more affluent then they're the 1%ers they kvetch about?
I don't know about that. In my area a liberal stands out like an elevator in an outhouse. No one with a lick of sense has voted that way proudly in decades. Even the liberals are ashamed of what is called "a liberal" now. They don't identify themselves or provoke any unwanted heated attention.
I'm going to comment based on my personal experience, which is rare.
I know many liberals and call them friends. They are very educated and good, kind people. Do I think they are smarter? Some may have gone to a better school than me, but they are not more analytical. Never. In fact, emotion rules them over facts every time when we discuss political issues. I find it better to retreat in those discussions as I value facts.

Your premise isn't entirely correct. Overall, republican affiliation and voting rises with educational level from high-school dropout up through 4-year college graduate, and then drops after that.
A college graduate is more likely to vote Republican than a random member of the populace. So the premise that educated people tend to be Democrats isn't accurate generally (although you could probably find some elections in certain places and times where that general pattern has broken down). With that said, this is not caused by the education itself but rather is because education level correlates with income and race -- more education is correlated with Democratic affiliation if you control for race or income level.
