This is the biggest mistake conservatives make about liberals. It isn't about being selfish or entitlements. They are swept into the do gooder ideals of liberalism. Helping the less fortunate is the driver for most. They just don't realize the practicality of actually enacting their programs. Conservatives want to make liberals out to be selfish, when the reality is idealism is where they stumble.
When you're talking about entitlement programs sure. When you're talking about moral issues (or issues perceived to be about morality), I feel pretty good about what I posted.

I spent 8 years in college and taught in several capacities. Yes professors push a very liberal agenda on students. This is nothing new, the fact is academia is far from the real world, it operates among the upper 20% of intelligence and opinions are bred from being within this environment. Communism is a beautiful thing that just doesn't translate to the real world, hence the disconnect.

My dad taught at Mizzou. Still teaches some classes for lunch money. He'd always hang out with the ROTC folk at the functions because he said they were the only ones connected to reality.

Tl/dr: most college professors are liberal. Indoctrinated is too strong a word, but in my experience, they certainly slanted the arguments.
I read. It was reasonably long. I see our disconnect too. I've taken a bunch of STEM classes with a little econ thrown in. You must have been in more of the traditional liberal arts side of things. You are certainly going to find more of that on your end of things, mainly because my field of interest doesn't so much lend it's self to the political realm.
I have had a taste of what you're talking about and it would be dishonest of me to deny what you've described goes on.

Fuggin J-schoolers are the worst. The trend when I was there was half of them would wear sickle and hammer t-shirts around campus. I can't stand anyone that can't for their own opinions, and they were the worst.
