Liberalism is a refuge for those living in envy of the accomplishments
of others.

mwhahahahaha, LMAO!

The grain of truth is if you equate being educated with being well
trained, the corollary is true. The higher one's level of training (like
a dog adept at performing tricks), the more likely one is to be a
conservative. The higher the level of indoctrination, the higher one's
average income is likely to be. Obedience is richly rewarded ... and if
you are disobedient or disloyal, well then, like fish in the sea, there
are plenty of dogs in the country. You don't need any education for
that, you just need to be a good dog. Likely, you, being well trained,
but poorly educated, aren't able to differentiate.

Gratuitous grandious generalization

Smerfs like to make (and smerflings like to repeat) grandiose
generalizations that appear plausible but upon inspection, aren't truly
representative of reality, being true only in specific senses contrived
for their own sake. The higher one's level of education (which implies
being able to think for one's self and not merely vomit back someone
else's ruminations), the less likely one is going to be conned by the
propaganda.

It's my sense that liberal propoganda is rampant in higher education and
that it takes independent thinking and analysis to overcome it.

Exactly how did you come to the conclusion you shared above, or were you
just repeating something you heard? If you really are 'educated', you'll
be able to provide some basis for you claims or at least have a
discussion on the topic.

And yet you present no evidence for your opposite claims.
