I think the students at Berkley follow the lemming theory. They are drawn to the school because of the nuts and once there just follow the crowd without any thought. They are led by profs who thought it was the greatest time of their lives when they protested against the Viet Nam War.
Eventually, alot of them wind up republican.
There is a growing conservative (granted, its the "south park" types) movement among college kids today, based on increasing numbers in the college republicans, but how far its spreading is still debatable.
"Nationally, for the class entering in fall 2004, liberal freshmen outnumbered conservatives 27 percent to 23 percent."
This is a very telling statistic. These kids will only become more conservative as time goes on.
We'll if I go to Berkeley in a few years (one of the schools I'm looking at) I'll have to have some fun with the libs.
This is news?
Biggest DUH headline, you got that right! They don't call it UC Bezerkeley for nuthin, ya know!
I have to say the most fun for me here in the Bay Area is reading the editorials written by John Q. Liberal Public in the local opinion pages. I call them the scream pages. You get the occasional sane voice in the wilderness, I guess it would be the 12 percent of conservatives who live here, but mostly it's BUSH BAD, BUSH VERY, VERY BAD, and IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!!!
I agree.
My friend went to that school and when i visited... it was the biggest bunch of hippie trash i've ever seen. The party i went to smelled like petulie oil and pot.
The two most famous products to come out of UC Berekley are BSD and LSD; both probably by the same group of leftists.
Nobody told them it's hip to be square. Where is Huey Lewis?
