I'm starting another group: PFLAP. Parents and Friends of Left-Anded People.
I'm a righty myself, but lefties need to have equal protection under the law. Our society needs to view everybody equally.

"Same ol' "A minority can't have an opinion without being accused of selling out." "
You are the one who mentioned "minorities". I was speaking of the PC crowd following RushLimbaugh's example. Ya know, the ones who wanna believe in "trickle down economics": if the government fills the high troughs for the big hogs, some of the feed will slop outta their mouths for the piglets to eat; if the government pours enough golden draught down wealthy gullets, those waiting upon them beneath will receive a golden shower.
Never thought of such pseudo"conservative"s as a put-upon minority m'self. The right wing of the king's table is reserved for those whose loyalty can be counted upon cuz their stature is dependent upon the king's favor. The left wing is reserved for those who gained their stature independently, upon whom the king must rely because they bestow wealth&power&stability upon the king. And so the inept must rely upon their sycophancy to gain a seat at the right wing of the table. And the left wing will always be less trusted, cuz the competent always know that any king is replaceable.

Considering your post was pretty clearly a response to the Rodriguez interview, that no one on the thread has mentioned Rush until you did, and given your history of posting incredibly inaccurate statements and refusing to acknowledge refutations in any way, I think you're back-peddling here. But just in case you really did mean it that way...

This isn’t even close to what “trickle-down economics” is. Trickle-down economics, at its heart, states that the efficient allocation of capital will result in long-term sustainable job creation, lifting the standard of living of most people. I’m not a strict trickle-downer myself – I think the economy, like most things in the real world, is more complex than that. But it’s also more complicated than “trickle-up” people would have us think as well.

This is laughable. Most conservatives I know are incredibly competent people. A good portion of them have successfully created small businesses that provide jobs and benefits, taken all together, to hundreds (if not thousands, I don’t feel like doing the math) of people. Your utter refusal to see potential positive motivations in those who disagree with your political and economic views is astoundingly childish.
