Since you see everything as roses coming out of our Universities, what do you attribute the large vote that goes to the Left each General Election out of this group?
Did I say "everything"??? I didn't. I was simply telling you my experience of teaching this age group for 27 years. But, then, you seem to dismiss that too. Oh well.
Besides, this country has OFTEN voted Democrat. They voted for Mr. & Mrs. Sleezebag and re-elected them--Clinton. Carter, peanut king, another democrat. I don't know why people vote that way--but we still seem to be a wealthy country so voting for idiots doesn't seem to do irreparable damage.

It isn’t until the early 30s that this starts turning around, and I’m not certain it is turning around in near the numbers it used to.
So, it's turning around, is it? First you deprecate, then you admit to it's turning around. Odd logic. Oh well.

Look, we have upwards of 90% of our university campus professers registered Democrats. Some campuses are undoubtedly better, but these days the dogma is far far left. Our Founders aren’t getting a fair shake.

It’s my take they push the founding as if it was made up of a bunch off KKK wanna-bes, not explaining why the issue of Slavery couldn’t have been settled then.

It’s an easy issue to explain. Who explains it?

I’m not dismissing your comments based on your 27 year experience, but the questions scream out from the rocks when you say some of the things you do.

Let me reference this: “Besides, this country has OFTEN voted Democrat. They voted for Mr. & Mrs. Sleezebag and re-elected them—Clinton. Carter, peanut king, another democrat. I don’t know why people vote that way—but we still seem to be a wealthy country so voting for idiots doesn’t seem to do irreparable damage.”

Right now we have close to 25% of our workforce unemployed. We have another 25% of our workforce working for far less than they did five years ago. Voting for the idiots that haven’t fixed this has created a situation where it could take twenty-thirty years for us to turn this around. You honestly don’t see any irreparable damage? That’s a full generation lost. That isn’t reparable. For them it’s a done deal right now.

I’m not sure what you taught, but there’s an old adage. It goes something like this. “If you aren’t Liberal when you’re young, you have no heart. If you aren’t a Conservative by the time you’re older, you have no brain.”

This is a tongue in cheek saying, but there’s more than a grain of truth in it. Traditionally, the kids coming out of our universities lean Left. As they get older, have to enter the real world, and see that things don’t hold to model their professors said they would, they move more right.

There are times when this change doesn’t take place as universally as it otherwise would. The late 60s early 70s was one such period. Today’s government has many hippy pot-head types pushing their agenda in our government today. They didn’t self-correct. Many of them didn’t because they entered the revolving door of politics and academia.

Today we have another such period developing because the kids today are told not to even listen to opposing views. I’ve seen it on the street. These kids don’t want to be confronted with truth. If you challenge their ideas, they call it propaganda and shut down any discussion. These people aren’t going to move right in traditional numbers.

That bodes terrible for our nation. I don’t think it’ all that hard to understand either.
