You just have to understand how few conservatives there are on college campuses. There are some, but they fight a gale of persuasion and threat trying to change their bearings and sense of values.

There are almost no Conservative professors as the left wing uses political test after political test to persuade them not to enter academia, to deny them tenure and advancement.

This is the great failing of the Conservative movement, to enter and maintain a balance of ideas in these institutions. To compete idea for idea in Hollywood, and in the News business. But, the flow of ideology from our colleges and universities is lefty, and often openly socialist without regard to their own best interests.

Anyway, these are just descriptions of the general flows. There is not all or nothing anywhere and there are several fine institutions who emphasize values and self-reliance and they are about if you look. But, the vast majority get fed a steady stream of leftist pap from every media, educational, and close opinion source and thus they believe and repeat it.

The true wonder is that, with all of this apparatus, the big and little lies, the grooming of kids from earliest moments, they keep hitting the rock of Conservative insistence on resisting this urge to follow Europe into oblivion.

I’m embarrassed to admit that in college, I hid my political persuasion in the classroom for fear of getting a lower grade.

In English Class we had a devout Marxist. Anyone who took other than a liberal view on the Viet Nam War and Nixon etc would get a much lower grade.

Eventually, the University kicked him out when even he was too radical.

All who claim they refuse to vote because McCain’s not conservative enough or they want to teach the republicans a lesson or they are tired of choosing between the lesser of two evils. Please reconsider. It is that Important. Obama is dangerous to America and our freedoms. Obama is dangerous to the world.

I agree. There are still a few still on here who feel otherwise. I say give the man a chance. The deck is stacked against him, and we dislike seeing that done. We are generally for the underdog.

Say what you will about Mac...one thing for sure, he's a scrapper. You won't see him backing down from anyone....less so an Obama when other's walk off with their tail between their legs...

Obama wins overwhelmingly among blacks across all educational levels. An analysis of the vote by education among whites (with blacks and Hispanics taken out of the equation), shows McCain does much better against Obama among whites in general than he does among nonwhites. The presumptive Republican nominee in fact "wins" in each educational group of whites except those with postgraduate education
