    Anti-intellectualism has been a hallmark of the GOP for many years, and is the #1 factor keeping me from supporting them. This is nothing new.

      College is liberal brainwashing. You haven't been to a major university if you don't think so.

        I don't think so.

            I don't feel any desire to tell you but it certainly doesn't engage in conservative brainwashing either.

                Suddely I think that the US marines are acting sane by preventing Al to join - they simply don't want to embarrass US with Al running around with an official gun.
                With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                  Classes at Temple University were of definite liberal persuasion. I never encountered, even in the economics department, a decidedly conservative ideology. At best, a professor was neutral. I recall myself and an Austrian School-influenced student having arguments in class with our Keynesian intermediate macroeconomics professor. My humanities courses (philosophy of art, moral philosophy, African-American philosophy, modern European history, poli sci, etc. I took over a dozen) were definitively of a liberal persuasion.

                      No, sir. Not even in the economics department. If there were, they didn't drill libertarian ideology into our heads.

                        Back to topic - why don't you americans start to tax buying a car ? Here the tax is between 105-180 % depending on the price. That could probably solve some of the problems the state have

                            What undergraduate courses did you take?

                            Engineering, premed, etc. undergrads wouldn't be exposed to the liberal bias because you don't take humanities, right?

                            I dare you to sit in an African-American philosophy class (studies in race classes are mandatory at Temple University) and not see a liberal bias imparted on the students.
