So why is half the nation still conservative?

Liberal college professors are mostly the one's who brainwash students. Grammar and high schools are liberal in the sense that they are trying to eliminate God and religion from people's lives. I'd say that more than half the nation is conservative. What's that quote? "If your young and liberal then you don't have a heart. If your an adult and your a liberal then you don't have a brain."

Based on what I've seen in the news, the Bible Belt areas still have conservatives in power (trying to introduce creationism in science classes, banning Harry Potter, etc).
Or, like me, I recognize when a teacher is over political (being in CA, yes, it means overwhelmingly that they're liberal) and since I have a brain, I process what they say, decide it's crap, and ignore it. Didn't hurt me any.
The extremists on either end are very easy to please. Just parrot their words back to them. Easy A. However, I'm there to learn. Not everything they say is pure crap, just not well thought out half the time. So, I take the good points and pick out counter arguments from textbooks or wherever and decide for myself what I want to believe.

Because only 20% of high school graduates currently enroll in college (and that's where the liberals really are!). Ever notice how conservative the uneducated are?

Gee, I didn't know that. So the conservatives that I've found in school administration are just putting on an act? They are ever so effective giving conservative spiels.

Not everyone can be brainwashed by these idiots.
