@aether: having an Ivy League education or being a Rhodes Scholar, means you get practially get a free pass in America … because your’re now one of the “elite”, which actually means you’ve been brainwashed to Progressive standards.

Agreed! Ivy League education, in most cases, is inversely proportional to a person’s political acumen and historical understanding. You have to fight very hard against what you’re “taught” to get out of there as anything other than a preprogramed Leftist wind-up toy. Exhibit A: Mr. Obama. (Hard sciences and math somewhat excluded from the general rule. Somewhat.)
