Conservatives make up 40% of the general population while liberals make 20%. 40% is “fringe” to cary?

I believe he's speaking of the views of the Hollywood crowd; in that respect he's quite right.

HE has fallen for the hook. The leftist media and talking heads spend an inordinate amount of time pretending the conservative and right of center majority of this country don’t really know who they are and thus paint those of us who are conservative as extremists. I am convinced that they actually help us in the end as more people say “wait a minute I agree with that, and that, and that etc...” until more of them come to the realization that they are indeed conservative.

"Conservatives make up 40% of the general population while liberals make 20%"

People who identify themselves make up roughly 40% of the population. But, it doesn't mean that they vote that way, or that they really are.

20% of the people who identified themselves as conservatives in 2008, voted for Barack Obama. Do you know any "conservatives" who voted for Barack Obama?
