Of course, but that's because the publishing companies and school boards, controlled by the left, won't show people like LBJ and Tip O'Neal in the truly partisan fashion in which they operated. History, as it's "taught" in public schools, is only unkind to the Right.

Have right-wingers always been this sensitive, always playing the victim?

You may want to consider the reason you feel the need to be so touchy and sensitive. When did this middle-aged white man angst begin? Why so much pouting and woe is me? If you feel so superior to "them" why don't you feel as if your policies and arguments are worth defending? Most conservatives do. But "populists" seem to think they need to be the bully/victim, lacking self-esteem.

Perhaps you need more than love of money to be your guiding principle.
