Could be. I'm sure I have a bias, and no offense meant to anyone here, but in my experience liberals and progressives tend to be better educated than conservatives and regressives - and thus often put talking points into their own words through a digested thought process rather than parroting them brainlessly.


Completely anecdotal.

I will say without hesitation that a large influence on the modern conservative culture has been anti-education and anti-intellectual sentiments. Demonstrated rather sublimely by this lament from Intelligent Design advocate, Rev. Ray Mummert, "We've been attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of the culture." Intellectualism and education have been rebranded as "elitism", expertise as "agenda".
