Wow. I have now seen with my very own eyes the very definition of the word 'spin'.
That article was spun as hard as possible and stopped right on the 180 degree mark.
I don't even know what my favorite spin in that article was, but blaming conservative alienation for the universities becoming overwelmingly liberal had me laughing pretty hard. I was THERE. Liberal elite have made a conscious effort many years ago to take over the schools and use them as indoctrination centers. If you want to blame conservatives, blame them for taking so long to recognize this and fight back. Even the title is spin. Accusing conservatives of inciting class warfare? Pot, meet Kettle. Wow.
Wow- you entirely missed the point...
That was NOT spun. The FACTS are that modern conservatism was an INTELLECTUAL, ELITIST IDea. Born of the business schools and ivy league.
George Will and Bill Buckley were NOT joe six packs.
And, frankly... the real powers in the republican party are not joe sixpacks..
But in demonizing Liberals they have alienated BOTH the centers of population AND the centers of learning.
And , BTW-
Schools are LIBERAL because that is what higher EDUCATION actually IS. ITS THEIR JOB to be liberal.
They are called the Liberal Arts, because they FREE the mind.
Because they embrace NEW ideas in addition to teaching the old ideas.
And , really, stop being so scared of Liberal ideas...
Freedom is a liberal idea ( why they cal it Liberty )
This entire nation was a liberal idea.
The Internet is a liberal idea.
Cowboy up and embrace the idea of liberty...
