Status worship often leads [[Liberals]] into the [[deceit]] of exaggerating the status of the people they admire, as in the case of '[[Professor]]' [[Richard Dawkins]] and 'Assistant Professor' [[Barack Obama]].  This is worsened by the fact that many educational institutions are [[Liberal_bias#U.S._Universities|controlled by liberals]], who give positions to other liberals over better-qualified conservatives.  Thus liberals make claims of authority based on status that they do not even deserve.
