Prager had a caller who complained that Jews occupied a disproportionate number of seats (almost all of the seats) in the New York State Assembly. He may or may not have been correct, I don't think it matters much toward his argument. Prager wanted to know why this mattered to him?
"Because it's not fair! It's not fair that your people, who make up one or two percent of the population in your state, occupy all the seats..." I'm paraphrasing. Prager was already trying to interrupt this guy, obviously a liberal as revealed in his debating tactic, which conservatives almost never use: the Steam Roller Method. It consists in having a huge speech prepared ahead of time and delivered without taking a breat, and keeps the other person from getting a word in edgewise. It is a common practice among immature debaters to keep the other side from getting its points out. That way, among the immature and untrained (mainly, largely uneducated) among the populace, the steamroller gets only his point of view represented, and since the opposition appears to have no arguments to contribute, the innocent, naive, and uninformed have no reason to change their minds.
But that's not my point. "It's not fair," cries the caller, then adds, via my paraphrase, "You have more legislators than you have constituents. Pragers immediate question should have been, "If there were more than 12% blacks, should we fire them? Should we cap the number of women in the assembly at 50% The Latinos at 22% The African Americans at 12.8%?"
He's asking those questions now, I'm glad to say.
The poor caller has had his mind numbed by decades of howling from the democrat party. He doesn't know that he doesn't want the number of women capped at 50%. He has only thought about how "only" 18% of the members of congress were women (back in the Seventies) and that the appropriate action should be to elect more women to make the numbers "fair". Of course this should mean, to a thinking person, that "fair" numbers means limits as well.
Sorry, they just can't think clearly, they've had that process of thinking squashed by propaganda.
