because conservatives seem to only value money, money, money and have no room to think about life as beautiful so they tend to be less creative. Conservatives are blinded by money and power and studying art wont help you win oil and money

Liberal here comes from the Latin liberalis or freedman. The Liberal Arts are those suited to the freedmen during the middle ages. It is amusing but misleading to relate this to modern day American politics.

1 : The medieval studies comprising the trivium and quadrivium
2 : The studies (as language, philosophy, history, literature, abstract science) in a college or university intended to provide chiefly general knowledge and to develop the general intellectual capacities (as reason and judgment) as opposed to professional or vocational skills.

Trivium:
A group of studies consisting of grammar, rhetoric, and logic and forming the lower division of the seven liberal arts in medieval universities

Quadrivium:
A group of studies consisting of arithmetic, music, geometry, and astronomy and forming the upper division of the seven liberal arts in medieval universities

Too many of the left wing idiots from the '60s and the '70s
took control of the liberal arts colleges.

"Liberal Arts" isn't a political term. Although the academic world is clearly dominated by political liberalism.

And Baylor (as noted by another answer) just had its "conservative" president kicked out by the leftist faculty. It is hardly a conservative university.

What are the conservative arts? Accounting? I think accounting is a conservative arts and it's offered in many universities. LOL

The original definition of liberal was to seek or make change and Conservative was to conserve the way things are.

What's sexier and more likely to make a young person money, making change or going with the flow?

Arts is too long a word for dub-ya to pronounce.

You're confusing definitions and thus not making the point you want to make.
