Santorum: Education bad, stupidity good

So now Rick Santorum calls President Obama an elitist, liberal snob for wanting to make college available to as many people as possible. The reasoning being that colleges and universities are run by liberals and this is the President's method of seeding the liberal political base.

Perhaps.

But anyone who has been to college knows that basically the largest lesson you should come away with, regardless of your major, is learning how to think critically. Regardless of your teacher's political bent. And Santorum knows this. He also knows his base. He knows they are largely ignorant, and their ignorance leads to fear. Fear of change, fear of culture, fear of people different than them. Fear of people with more education than them.

And I'm sorry to say, that also means they are fairly religious. Not necessarily church going religious. But look to religion for their guidance. And there quite possibly could be no worse guide than organized religion.
