[QUOTE=dksuddeth;2704152]This constitutional republic that was built was designed to protect the rights of the minority from the desires of the majority. I'm guessing that this was something pretty important to you from 2000-2008, but is probably less so currently. would that be about right?

and wanting to disregard the rights and fears of others to implement policy that YOU deem worthy makes you what? for a clue, look at the 3rd word of your last sentence above.[COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]

I have no problem with standing up for the minority, as long as their arguments are based on reality and facts, not emotional nonsense and misinformation.

I don't disregard the rights and fears of others, once those fears have been effectively proven to be irrational, and people still fear them anyway, that is willfull ignorance on their part and they can't be helped. I wish it weren't so but you can't help someone who refuses to see reality.
