Real conservatives tend to be better educated - they are basically wealthy and are conservative to protect their money.
The problem is, those conservatives have too small of a base to win elections, so they co opt the social evangelical conservatives (non college educated) to vote wtih them and give them their social christianist agendas, which the wealthy right doesnt care about because they can pretty much buy their way out of whatever they have to (abortions, drug offenses, etc).
But liberals are the college educated among us who hate the social conservative control freaks.
