The fact is that liberals are more likely than conservatives to go to college in the first place:
Quote:
... But contrary to conservative rhetoric, studies show that going to college does not make students substantially more liberal. The political scientist Mack Mariani and the higher education researcher Gordon Hewitt analyzed changes in student political attitudes between their freshman and senior years at 38 colleges and universities from 1999 to 2003. They found that on average, students shifted somewhat to the left — but that these changes were in line with shifts experienced by most Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 during the same period of time. In addition, they found that students were no more likely to move left at schools with more liberal faculties. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/04/opinio......tml?_r=0 |

When the names of your worlds top 60 leading climate experts and shapers of opinion and policy, are your main task force for driving the idea of the threat of global warming that fits the bill, which is the big idea the Club of Rome came up with, and they are all members of that club, which uses experts to manipulates the Rand Corporation Delphi Method to manufacture consensus of opinion on it's own members, then I would not trust them so much as you do if I were you. Take my advice and do as please, as they say.

Thought this was one of your big arguments- conservatives being more rich than liberals? Funny how you just pulled the rug out from under the statement that conservatives are worth more than liberals and make more money than liberals. Unless you say conservatives are more rich than liberals which would mean than they must be smart enough to make the most of the land of opportunity without going to college which really doesn't make the liberal look good either.

Certainly today parties tend to package economic policy with social policy as if they were one. Fiscal conservatives with socially liberal beliefs (for example) might find it difficult to find a party or candidate to endorse. In a two-party system (as in the USA), each main party has a powerful interest in blending issues to avoid stressing the faithful.

I had a memory failure with that one. Apparently he dropped out after two semesters, so he can't be the talking head I was thinking of. My apologies. I suspect I got him and Newt Gingrich mixed up.

To suggest that because there are a few conservative instructors in colleges that they aren't liberal bastions is like suggesting that because Kevin Sorbo is a conservative, Hollywood obviously doesn't lean way left.

Seems to me that the most likely explanation would be that "liberals" are more likely to take recent research into account in their beliefs than are "conservatives". The alternative is the wildly unlikely scenario in which the truths of the world are evenly split between "liberal-friendly truths" and "conservative-friendly truths" and on top of that, universities and colleges shut out the "conservative-friendly truths" in favour of "liberal-friendly truths". That's just crazy.

As conservative Rick Santorum famously said, "We will never have the elite, smart people on our side".
As someone who listens to a fair amount of conservative talk radio call-in shows, I can say that the anti-education reputation is well-deserved amongst Republicans. From evolution denial, to creationism, to AGW denial, to opposition to CORE teaching standards, and even to a recent FOX TV personality's tirade against Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Republicans do seem to fear that the more educated someone is, the more likely they'll be liberal. And here's that Fox TV clip... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-LqEKEjS78 Ron PS - Admittedly, some Democrats also fall into the same categories of science/education denial. But the clear majority is on the side of Republicans.

It is painfully easy to find stupid statements and groups on each side. Do you REALLY think that makes any actual point?
Yes education is liberal bias, but since you guys share one you never think there is one. Same with the media. Ok John if they DON'T sort into two equal piles there is a bias by definition. That bias is undeniably liberal. (Except of course liberals deny it and just claim it is a mainstream view.) As for academic bias I found this after a really quick search. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012......page=all "Beyond that, conservatives represent a distinct minority on college and university campuses. A 2007 report by sociologists Neil Gross and Solon Simmons found that 80 percent of psychology professors at elite and non-elite universities are Democrats. Other studies reveal that 5 percent to 7 percent of faculty openly identify as Republicans. By contrast, about 20 percent of the general population are liberal and 40 percent are conservative. Mr. Inbar and Mr. Lammers found that conservatives fear that revealing their political identity will have negative consequences. This is why New York University-based psychologist Jonathan Haidt, a self-described centrist, has compared the experience of being a conservative graduate student to being a closeted gay student in the 1980s. In 2011, Mr. Haidt addressed this very issue at a meeting of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology — the same group that Mr. Inbar and Mr. Lammer surveyed. Mr. Haidt’s talk, “The Bright Future of Post-Partisan Social Psychology,” caused a stir. The professor, whose new book “The Righteous Mind” examines the moral roots of our political positions, asked the nearly 1,000 academics and students in the room to raise their hands if they were liberals. Nearly 80 percent of the hands went up. When he asked whether there were any conservatives in the house, just three hands — 0.3 percent — went up. This is “a statistically impossible lack of diversity,” Mr. Haidt said." It is one point of view. May be wrong, I have not followed it up. Just saying someone seems to think it happens.

If you're worried about the temperature in a 1000 years, maybe you don't realize how quickly technology changes. Please compare technology from 1014 to that of technology today. And also recognize the speed at which it has increased in the last 100 years. It seems a bit silly to me that anyone could begin to think that they could predict ANYTHING about 1000 years from now. |

I read somewhere that a human being exhales 1000 lbs of CO2 a year and there is 7 billion of us, so what they are going to do about that?

It appears that the CO2 levels have been higher than our current numbers ... Even during an ICE AGE!!!!! This scam is a way to charge a person to breath!!! As the hypocrites fly jumbo jets to and from work they demand we pay a tribute to exist. It's all about money and I'm so depressed that magicians like yourselves can not see the deceit ... It's supposed to be what you are good at. Hanussen would have seen it right away!!!
