<p>Well obviously CC is more liberal, I'd venture to guess that the majority of members are from California, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts which are for the most part liberal states. And many are from large cities (eg. Seattle, Portland, Philadelphia) which tend to be more liberal.</p>
<p>Glen Beck is an idiot. This isn't even about conservative or liberal, this is about Glen Beck not knowing what he's talking about, or the fact that he just wants to make money, probably the latter. Harvard has great financial aid and is free for poorer students. Why should it be free for the people who can afford it? I'm pretty conservative myself but this is not a political issue. Harvard can't just throw its bling around at everyone or else they'd go broke even with the money they have, they are more than reasonable with financial aid. Most of the top schools are more than reasonable with their financial aid, Glen is just jealous because he didn't get into these schools...or he's tryin to make bling for himself(which I'm 99% sure he is).</p>
<p>College students are just generally more liberal.</p>
<p>I'm a libertarian! I count as half-conservative!</p>
<p>RoflCopterGG, Harvards financial aid is generous, but only compared to other schools. Many people are still asked to pay much more than they can afford and are left with huge amounts of debt after graduation. Also, I'm no financial expert, but I'm pretty sure that if you do the math it's not outside the realm of possibility for a school like Harvard to cover everyones tuition, especially with the return they've been getting on their endowment lately.
oh, and RedStorm, Liberals are EXCELLENT ranters (although I think thats a trait shared by nearly eveyone!).</p>
<p>I'M LIBERTARIAN TOO!!!
But whatever, i consider myself conservative.
ranters are annoying, conservative or liberal. when I listen to a liberal rant, I become more conservative, and vice versa.</p>
<p>Haha, CC is highly liberal. Why is there never mention of service academies in any of the discussions concerning best colleges and toughest to get into?</p>
<p>Yes, the Naval Academy is so tough to get into, they made it free, unlike Harvard.</p>

<p>It's hard to get into... so it's free? Non sequitur?</p>
<p>I'm a moderate conservative and I still think Glenn Beck is an idiot. This has nothing to do with sides of the political spectrum; it has to do with the fact that he almost never has any idea what he's actually babbling about (especially anything involving the economy). He gives the right a bad name, and seriously should just stop broadcasting and writing altogether. Although, compared to most other prominent conservative talk show hosts Beck's practically a bastion of saintly wisdom.</p>
