Or how 'bout the man who took 2 steps right while the other man took 10 steps left. And now the man on the left wants to meet in the middle again, but expects each of them to take 6 steps towards eachother.

So if being liberal and intelligence is directly correlated, then we would have to assume the most powerful people in the world are liberal.
Are CEO's of global corporations liberal? No.
Are people managing billions of dollars liberal? No.
Are people that control the largest military in the world liberal? No.
Are the lobbyists bribing our politicians liberal? No.
Maybe liberal is best found in the classroom, where it ultimately stays because its applications in the real world is very limited.
BTW, how did "liberal" Obama work out for everyone? 
Being liberal is correlated with high levels of educational attainment. Educational attainment involves more than intelligence. You have to be dedicated, hard working and disciplined,
While your average CEO may tend to be conservative, the real innovators and big thinkers tend to be liberal
On the list of the top ten richest Americans, more than half are liberals.
The person that controls the worlds largest military is liberal
The people who lobby for liberal causes are liberal
Liberals run the media, Hollywood and academia.

yes.
libertarianism is a fine personal philosophy. so is conservatism.
conserving classical liberalism of the forefathers of America, while striving for liberty and freedom for all is a great thing.
liberalism is the best method to achieve that in any nation.

The march of progress is invariably in the liberal direction. Societies rarely become more conservative, and when they do, it rarely works out very well.

That means nothing if the educational system is in fact plagued with liberal ideologies.Getting good grades in "The sociology of Miley Cyrus" or "How to Win a Beauty Pageant: Race, Gender, Culture, and U.S. National Identity"(actual courses), doesn't say much.

I never knew invading Libya and drone strikes was a "liberal" form of commanding the military.
Oh, I know those rich liberals that live in multi-million dollar homes, guess what? They're phonies.

dude, you have to realize that this new generation of dumbness isn't the only period in time that liberals have existed right? so your analogy is kinda poo-poo.

I agree with that sentiment, but you have to remember liberalism throws a thousand darts at the board and only 2-3 ever stick. Those 2-3 hits do move society forward, but it's a terrible percentage at the end of the day.

yeah, but it's what you were going for though. liberals are just dunderheads because the "The sociology of Miley Cyrus" or "How to Win a Beauty Pageant: Race, Gender, Culture, and U.S. National Identity"(actual courses) are just absolutely liberal stupid ideas. well. they aren't liberal ideas. wtf. they are millennial ideas, if anything. just because someone is a liberal, if they come up with some fucking stupid idea, it's a liberal idea? these "ideas" or 'courses' you describe are just dumb new ideas, some people trying to foster in some really boring idea, oft times too, but it happens all the time. do you wanna see all the fucked up ideas plenty of conservatives have, and republicans have, outside of the sphere of politics? are those 'ideas', are they political ideas?

People who are considered "alt right" tend to realize that both sides suck. And that picture you posted seems to be based on a lot of the edgy teenagers you'll see in the YouTube comments section. The inverse of those people are just as obnoxious, if not more.

That's just your interpretation. There was no analogy and it was never my intention to make one. I was simply pointing out how many courses require very little intelligence to pass and as such excelling in today's colleges is not exactly a good example for how intelligent liberals are. I do agree that millennials are cancerous though.
