Lindgren phrases his observation in terms of the right being more diverse than the left. But another way to put it is to say that the highly educated usually reject social conservatism. The position on national security is then arrived at as a separate matter.

I think the main reason is the libertarian streak in the right. That position tends to be arrived at logically, rather than from an emotional altruistic position. High education tends to result in more strongly held positions, both left and right.
