How can I lose an argument when you haven't made one.  All you did was make a baseless assertion that I was playing the victim.  It's just your way of marginalizing me.  And quit with the "I'm an independent" nonsense.  Your words betray you as a liberal, so the media most certainly is in your corner.  Lastly, if you are confused about the Utopian reference, read Thomas Sowell's book Conflict of Visions.  Liberals like you have a Utopian vision of politics and us conservatives have a constrained vision.
