Rick Santorum: Left uses college for "indoctrination" - CBS News

Perhaps, just perhaps, Rick, those of us who go to college and come out more liberal and less religious aren’t indoctrinated.

Maybe knowledge and critical thinking lead some-but not all-people away from religion.

Maybe being instantly saddled with massive, often crippling debt simply due to a desire for knowledge and understanding of the world gives some people a more progressive view of the world. 

Maybe you and your ilk just want a cowed, ignorant, obedient mass of humanity that will hang on your every word and believe whatever you tell them without thinking twice because it’s easier to manipulate people who don’t know any better. 

Maybe, just maybe, not everyone who attends college comes out a left-wing atheist, but instead gains critical thinking skills and a more inquisitive nature and that makes them more difficult to satiate with empty platitudes and dog-whistle politics, no matter what their political leaning. 

Maybe what you’re really upset about are people who see through the stuffed-shirt politicos like yourself who are all talk and no action, who are in it for their own personal glory instead of the betterment of all Americans, and we’re increasingly getting sick and tired of your bullshit. 

And maybe, just maybe, a guy with an undergrad from Penn State, a masters from Pitt and a law degree from a Dickinson shouldn’t be trashing people who want to get an education, because it certainly sound hypocritical to shit all over the professors and institutions that helped on your way to a career and livelihood that included being a high-powered lawyer, a congressman, and now a Presidential hopeful. You didn’t do that shit on your own and you certainly didn’t leave college a secular leftist by any stretch of the imagination. 

So allow me to put aside all my high-falutin’ state college book-learnin’ aside for a moment and resort to a more folksy, ‘Merican way of speaking- You’re a asshole and a hypocrite and you make me ashamed to call myself an American. Go fuck yourself, shithead.
