    And that's because you don't like Rush.

  • To be honest I loved the show when Craig Kilborn did it before they took the giant shift to the left.

    But it's the same schtick. Regardless of who's doing it

    My point is Stewart and Limbaugh are no different.

    But I don't see people saying Rush brainwashed a generation.

    You don't? Then with all due respect you aren't listening. Limbaugh's audience is frequently referred to as mind numbed robots or ditto heads.

  • I stand corrected.

    I didn't realize there were people dumb enough to take Rush that seriously.

    But you easily accept the idea there are people dumb enough to take Jon Stewart seriously?

    And just for fun on a which issues do you strongly disagree with Limbaugh?

  • I would have jon stewarts supposed "brainwashing" any day over the kind of right wing gutter scum trash that taught that kid to sing a song titled ain't no homo's gonna make it heaven. At least in the world brainfucked by Jon Stewart people wouldn't be perfect obviously but they would by and large be decent, kind and ultimately respectful people. Right wing whackjobs in this country are flirting with becoming some of the worst people in the world not flying an Isis flag. I mean look how you all dutifully felate a man to the root who talks about women like Trump does...even calls conservative women who "dare" stand up to him, bimbo's and hoores. And you all take his cock down your throats like spineless little jellyfish without an ounce of masculine essence. You've essentially all been neutered. Physical, intellectual and spiritual geldings.

  • Actually if you think about it for a minute, and I don't have any facts and figures just a hunch, but in general do you think conservative kids are more likely to go into fields like medicine mathematics science Engineering etc? And liberal kids might be more drawn to say, Theater, English literature, creative writing, art history? Just a guess.

    All of these hard science jobs are out on the coasts, which are reknowned liberal bastions. Does that answer your query? You think the more "conservative" the kid, the more he's going to gravitate towards science's that contradict what he's been raised on his whole youth?

  • He makes 40 mil a year and he lives in a 17.5 million dollar double gated Manhattan penthouse

    He's so fucking out of touch with the average American, fuck Jon Stewart

    I didn't see you offer an opinion...just asking which do people think is the case. If you think that the more conservative you are the more you're drawn to the higher math and physics science's...than you don't understand the creative chastity belt that an ultra conserative upbringing imposes on a young persons mind. Those people are proven to go more the business routes, making money..screwing people over etc, etc.

  • Actually I don't think that the sciences mathematics and engineering are necessarily creative avenues. So again your point?

    And are you trying to draw a comparison between upbringing and ideology?

    The best phycisists and mathematicians are extremely creative people. Making an exaggerated point here, but do you think someone brought up on the notion that the earth was flat and the sky was some kind of heavenly mural beckoning us onward, would have made the intuitive leaps that have brought us to where we are now in our understanding of the universe?

    Well, I can only speak to my experience here. Among scientists, mathematicians and engineers (STEM basically), I don't think there is much political talk at all. There are more important things to be worried about. In my time going to school with these types of people, working with these types of people, most of my friends being these types of people, and being one myself, I can tell you politics never really comes up. At no point is it "lets go to the pro life / pro choice rally!" No one gives a shit about student govt either. You barely needed any votes to get elected to the engineering student board. Politics isn't that important of a topic.

    This is probably also tied to the younger generations disdain for politics in general, but it is even less important, from what I've seen, in these STEM majors.

    It is also important to distinguish between social conservatism and financial / other conservatism too. As far as social conservatism goes, a lot of those principles can have a religious backbone. The education you've received, the less likely you are to be religious. That isn't supporting your case for STEM embracing conservatism. Then on topics like Climate Change... Well... Yeah.

    Financial matters are different.

    You just seem to go straight to "hippie tree hugger, stereotypical college liberal" for some reason. Which is why you'd imagine their college opposite, STEM majors, would be conservative

  • More anecdotal evidence here, but I was raised in a home that wasn't political. We stopped going to church after a while too. I was never really told how to think one way or another. And we all know (for the most part) my views.

    I would wager to bet a higher percentage of young conservatives are the result of their parents influence than young liberals. And again, I'm talking mostly social policy.
