Khorus jaan - Do you agree in general form a conservative is more apt to take a stand - good or bad? And at the same time a liberal is more likely to flexible - again good or bad.
Let's hope you are correct - but let me warn again - the same thing that was tried and worked in Iran - is being tested in America. Promiss of wealth to the poor is the best way to control the needy and stage an uprising against any system of government.
Can you get a minority status in CA? can you get DBE (disadvantage business enterprise) status and all the advantages that comes with it?
US government openly names immigrants from a handful of countries, including Iran that will not be granted such benefits.
I don't understand your point about taking a stand vs. flexibility both are traits that could be good or bad depending on the circumstances. I agree that conservatives are less educated, narrow minded, and stubborn, which makes them more quick to judge and make decisions, but usually the wrong ones. Flexibility is a sign of an open mind, leading to making better decisions although it may take longer to get something done.
On your second point, I don't think anybody can and does seriously offer wealth to the poor. They can offer opportunity and help, but not wealth, not in this country.
As for minority status, I know we have some offerings, but you also have to keep in mind, we only have a relatively small presence in this country and only for the last 30 years in any significant way. Other minorities have been hear hundreds of years, so it will take time, but we are making headway, starting with such items as getting our own classification on the census, so we will get there.
