"I was taught that in this country, the Majority rules, not the minority. If the majority votes to keep the signs, then I don't see a problem, except that the liberals won't like it. To bad. Go LFO."
If that's true, you were taught WRONG, or (more likely) you're an uneducated maroon who believes in an imaginary sky-father friend.
"Majority rules" is called democracy, and the United States is a Republic. Go read about republics, with its representative form of government, which is CRUCIAL to prevent abuses of MINORITIES by MAJORITIES.
See, the problem with majority rule is that small groups lose any sense of representation, and are overwhelmed by ANY majority, even if that means one minority have a majority over another (40% vs 20% for example).
The intention of a Republic, and representative government, is to REPRESENT as many groups as possible, in EQUAL fashion.
So minorities have the same level of representation as any majority group. Otherwise, minorities would never have ANY representation, and it would be ONLY majority rule.
