It's funny how, if you vehemently defend some minority's rights, some people always assume...

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

...you (or someone in your family) must be part of the minority in question and therefore you are arguing in your own benefit. They never seem to consider the possibility that you're sincerely arguing on behalf on others.

I think they can't wrap their minds around the concept.

1. Yup, I noticed that. nt

2. Try this...

...the next time some repub is confused by the concept explain to him it's just like they do in
supporting tax breaks for millionaires. Maybe they will get it.

[The Backlash Cometh]

3. That's actually a compliment.

If you really want to see their flip-flop reasoning in action, if you're a minority defending minority rights they'll tell you that you're not even a minority.

4. I have noticed that many conservatives only support causes

related to things that have touched their lives or the life of someone close to them. If a rich man supports cancer research, it's because cancer has stricken close to him, for example.
