Random Politics & Religion #11

yes yes liberal indoctrination and hive mindedness. Talking points are less interesting when they're repeated over and over again for 30+yrs.

Weird how every hyper partisan conservative regurgitates those very words...almost like they're part of an indoctrinated hive mind.

Apres vous, s'il vous plait!

Trump did everything he could to dodge the 'Nam draft, FYI for Fone.

Are the professors that indoctrinate a liberal mindset, or is it that a high level of education leads prevalently to a liberal mindset...hmm.

Here's how it works:
The more educated a person is, the more likely they'll be to make an informed decision.

People that make informed decisions are often bad for republicans, who thrive on people who make unintelligent decisions. Think your Kim Davis, Cliven Bundy, or Robert Lewis Dear type of people. These are what the GOP thrives on. Mindless idiots who eventually end up sitting in federal prisons because they went and did stupid ***like commit murders, refuse to obey court orders, or threaten people who're just doing their jobs.

Yes, I'm sure it's just a cycle of thoughtless idolatry.

You act like people with higher education can't be indoctrinated.

There are various reasons why people would go to college and hardly any subject actually deals with political science

You can't deny that the people teaching you can shape your views.

Washington (CNN)Rudy Giuliani answered the charge that he faces accusations of infidelity on Sunday by saying it's not just him.
"Everybody does," the former New York City mayor and Donald Trump supporter said.

Giuliani was attacking Hillary Clinton in an interview with NBC's Chuck Todd on "Meet the Press" the morning after Trump said -- with no evidence -- at a rally: "I don't even think she's loyal to Bill, if you want to know the truth. And really folks, really, why should she be?"
Not mentioned by Trump: He's had three divorces and faced accusations of infidelity himself. So has the thrice-married Giuliani.
Todd asked Giuliani if he's the right person to criticize Clinton's marriage.
Giuliani cited his pre-mayoral career as a Justice Department prosecutor.
"I'm the right person to level this charge, because I've never made such a charge, and I've prosecuted people who've committed rape," he said.
But, Todd responded, "You have your own infidelity charge."
"Well, everybody does," Giuliani said. "And I'm a Roman Catholic, and I confess those things to my priest. But I've never ever attacked someone who's been the victim ... of sexual abuse. Not only that, I put people in jail who've been the victim of sexual abuse*."
Then, Giuliani complained about Todd's line of questioning.
"And I think your bringing up my personal life really is kind of irrelevant to what Hillary Clinton did. She's running for president, I'm not," said Giuliani, himself a presidential candidate in 2008, when he sought the GOP nomination, unsuccessfully.

They are undeniabily much less likely to be. Obviously, psychological condition pending.

I'm sorry but where are you getting at with this sentence?

As above, education lowers the risk. In this case though it's something that has to start at a much younger age than college. Though people can learn to be more mentally independent later in life too sometimes.

Just gonna ignore the other part.

People that make informed decisions are often bad for politicians**

in college is mostly going

They are undeniabily much less likely to be. Obviously, psychological condition pending.

When it comes to the partisan fanatics it's strange how in this case politicians that pander to family values of the religious right get a pass on their transgressions but transgressions by politicians of the left get no quarter.

But then again look at all the high profile evangelicals that get caught smoking crack and soliciting hookers and pandering conservative politicians caught soliciting homo-erotic encounters in truck stop restrooms

It is not that difficult to mix in indoctrination with education.

The point that I was trying to make, that you didn't understand, was that someone majoring in biology doesn't necessarily understand all the ins-and-outs of the political system. They will get most of their information from others and the people they are getting information from in college as mostly going to be liberal which will influence their view.

Are you trying to imply that because they have a higher level of education they will fact check political views more? That is a pretty big assumption.

A good education does not tell you what to think, but how to think.

Then I think you'd be surprised how rare that is. A higher education does not necessarily mean a better one.

No well that is useful for culture and heighten the general state of society since it leads to improvements in the respective fields(more researchers, more innovators, that would otherwise not exist without the knowledge provided to them).

School doesn't teach you how to neurons though.

I'm not dissing the idea of higher education in general, as it can be extremely valuable. It's more a critique of what it is as opposed to what it should be. "Free thinking" and "open-mindedness" is suffering a slow death in the very places where they should flourish.
