You have to admire the chutzpah of conservatives who say "This group has been discriminated against for generations, but that makes no difference. Everyone has the same 'equality of opportunity'." And then they follow this up with "women, minorities the poor and the elderly should not be helped". Along with the whinge about "legislating from the bench", which means "a court issued a decision I, personally, don't like".

R&R's basic whinge is "I'm a straight white male. I should be on top of the heap, and I object to anyone else getting a leg up". This is selfishness, pure and simple.
