"Whether or not someone's action showed love for his or her country."
Point of view. Someone protesting against some war will be seen as not loving their country by some, and the protester will take the opposite perspective. Or they did not agree with i*********n l*w. Or they wanted more control on guns. Or they wanted to suspend drug-testing for welfare recipients. Or they wanted to end a******n. Or they wanted to secede from the union. Or they wanted to attack central government.
Waving red in front of a bull for both.

"Whether or not someone conformed to the traditions of society."
Depends on the traditions. Conformity is here suggested to be inherently a high virtue. Many actually prize this, unconsciously I suspect, as just that: a sign of honoring both what is and what was.
Yikes, conformity and traditions in the same sentence: might as well make it a sacrament for some conservatives.

"Whether or not an action caused chaos or disorder."
Jesus caused disorder. Any protest, by Tea Party or Occupiers, causes a degree of disorder. Flash point for many conservatives, a blind.

"Whether or not someone did something d********g."
By what standard? To some, kissing in public is d********g. The person committing the d********g act will probably disagree as to its nature. Gas release, at either end, is, to varying degrees, laughable or d********g. Me wearing a tutu and ballerina slippers, at 68, I would qualify as d********g, in public at least. No, even in private.
This is doing a little chumming for the Right.
