The follies from Progressive Pulse

Always a good way to start the weekend. Chris Fitzsimon taking on the Show.

Leef has a theory about why liberals encourage kids to go to college. It's not to get a better education, to expand their minds, even to improve their job prospects. It's all part of a subversive plot by the liberals to enrich themselves and most importantly, to preserve their power.

"Putting more kids through college means more money in the pockets of the overwhelmingly leftist administrators and professors. Furthermore, since the intellectual influence on college students is much more apt to drive them toward statism than toward individual liberty and free markets, the more young people go to college, the bigger the voting bloc for leftist candidates."

In other words, if we could just keep kids out of college, conservatives would win more elections. You can draw your own conclusion from that one.

Mr. Leef's view of the world isn't hard to explain. It derives from his boss's need to sustain a never-ending stream of poor people to fill his stores.
