The problem is that many conservatives do not want everyone to have equal rights. They seem to feel that if you create a system where minorities and the poor have an equal opportunity to succeed, then you are somehow taking success away from those the "deserve" it (ie: white Anglo-Saxon males). They see success as being zero-sum.
