Thread: College turns kids liberal?

Well this just isn't true at all... My roommate is a homosexual, my dorm has a fair number of African Americans in it, and I'm still an intolerant, judgemental bastard.

I jest.

I've always been fairly conservative in belief, but I just don't like politicians... I'm fine with minorities and different beliefs/lifestyles though... As long as they don't push anything on me. I live my way, and I am fine with you living your way.

This is the best example going right now of liberal elitism.

Aaah yes... that old tired statement. Like I said, I've not been affected. Has it adversely affected you? Or anyone you know? Maybe myself and the staunch freedom loving peeps out here in Arizona are being left out?

What are some of the things he keeps saying or doing that indicate this?

Could you actually cite some examples and then explain how it's any different from the conservative elitists telling people that they cannot get married? Talk about people assuming they know how to run others' lives.

The dialog that I quoted from the video pretty much says that students are broken because they tend to support gay marriage. I think it's pretty elitist to say, "We're allowed to do this but you aren't because you're different."

Why even watch this channel it's such a disaster.

since the channel is such a disaster, why does it have the highest rating of any news network?

You guys are getting way too in to this right now... The very fact that we have government MEANS that we believe these people in charge know how to run out lives better... That's the whole theory behind a president.. one man -or woman- who knows best that can choose for us....

Now, I try to affiliate with neither party, and I really don't want my comment to incite any issues, I'm trying to avoid being inflamatory, but, seriously. The president, whenever he passes a law, is saying that he knows best. He may in some cases, he may not in others, but that's the point of government.

I'd venture to say it's because there are more people who haven't gone to college than have. :P

Gillette is the most popular razor so what are you doing here? :P :P

Same reason people slow down and look at car crashes? It's like a train wreck, you can't help but look.

FWIW, I didn't go to college .... or high school for that matter and I wouldn't watch fox news if it was the last news show in the world. I'm not exactly liberal or conservative IMO but since I voted for Obama and would do so again if the same choices were presented I guess some would consider that a liberal point of view.

I was just trying to be as absurd as the comment (most popular = best) I was quoting.
