Whereas the Democrats are going out of their way to go against all these things with the bills they pass in their states and there continued overboard harassment of the president. Perhaps if you did some reading and investigate what conservatives are for u may get a different opinion listening to propaganda meds will not keep u informed but disinformed

You're taking my words out of context, which is something else you right-wingers are notorious for!
I did NOT "condemn millions of people" because they disagree with me! I was merely condemning "iFrank" for accusing another commentator of not being "for our heritage" just because he disagreed with the way iFrank was making wild accusations against Barack Obama and the Clintons without any evidence to back them up.
It was like he was accusing that other fellow of being unpatriotic and Un-American for not holding the same beliefs as him.
In other words, I wasn't denouncing people for having their own opinions, I was doing just the opposite! I was DEFENDING the right to disagree, to voice dissenting opinions without being labeled as "t*****rs," or "subversives," or in iFrank's case, without being accused of not being "for our heritage."
I was also questioning iFrank's remark about how "God h**ed Esau." I was asking him what that has to do with someone differing with him about the Clintons and Obama.
You say the conservatives want to preserve "the American way," that they believe in the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. If that's the case, how do you explain the fact that the conservatives have been among the worst VIOLATERS of the Constitution? Just look at their record:
It was the conservative Puritans of New England who condemned innocent people as "witches" after trials that couldn't possibly be considered fair.
It was the conservative Know Nothing Party that trampled on the rights of people they h**ed, like b****s, foreigners, and Catholics (ESPECIALLY CATHOLICS).
It was the conservative white people of the South who supported s***ery, and continued to ignore the rights of black people even after s***ery was banned in the United States. They did this through segregation, through the Black Codes, by denying b****s the right to v**e (a right guaranteed to them by the 15th Amendment) via the Poll Tax, the Grandfather Clause, the r****d literacy test, and other dirty tricks. It was these same Southern white conservatives who started the Ku Klux Klan, who really went to work on the rights of the ex-s***es!
Furthermore, the conservatives not only deprived the black people of their constitutional rights, they deprived other minorities of their rights as well: Hispanics, Catholics, Jews, women, gays, Native Americans (the Indians), Asians, etc.
Where were these conservative defenders of the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights when innocent people were convicted of crimes they didn't commit because their rights were ignored? In other words, people like Sacco and Vanzetti, the Scotsboro Boys, Bruno Richard Hauptmann (the supposed Lindbergh kidnapper), Caryl Chessman, Dr. Sam Sheppard, George Whitmore, the Wilmington Ten, etc.
And what about the Central Park Five, a group of two black youths and three Hispanic youths who convicted of raping a white woman in New York City's Central Park, but were proven innocent years later? Many people blame their unjust convictions on an inflammatory and prejudicial full-page ad in the New York Times newspaper that practically declared the boys to be guilty before they were even brought to trial, and even demanded their execution! This ad definitely poisoned the minds of anyone who read it, including people who may have been on the jury that convicted the five youths.
Incidentally, even though the Central Park Five were cleared of all charges, the man who possibly contributed to their wrongful convictions and punishments by placing that biased ad in the Times has NEVER apologized for what he did to them, has never acknowledged that he was wrong about them, that he had done them a grave injustice. His name: DONALD TRUMP!!!
It was the conservative establishment of the 1950s who supported the McCarthy blacklist, which led to thousands of innocent people being labeled as C*******ts and losing their jobs, often without any right of reply, or even the right to confront their accusers to prove that they were lying or mistaken. This same establishment also didn't mind when the FBI and the CIA were illegally spying on people they thought were "subversives," or were harassing legitimate dissidents, like J. Edgar Hoover's personal wars against the Civil Rights movement and the Anti-Vietnam War campaign, or were simply invading the privacy of people who weren't accused, or even suspected, of commiting a crime. And let's not forget about the conservatives' support of President Richard Nixon, even after the revelations of his involvement in the Watergate scandal, which included wiretapping the phones of Nixon's opponents, whose names he had written on his "Enemies list."
Another thing: you modern day conservatives are denying other people of their rights, like for example, trying to take away a woman's right to decide what to do with her own body, or robbing mostly people of color of their right to v**e through minor details, like the supposed misuse of hyphens, or not having a "permanent address," which effects Native Americans who live on reservations, where there are no real streets, and thus no real addresses (most of them have to get their mail through a post office box).
And what about your contempt for organizations that fight for the constitutional rights of individuals, like the N.A.A.C.P., or the National Organization for Women, or the Gay Rights groups, or especially, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)?
And yet, you expect everyone to believe that you conservatives believe in the American way, that you support the U.S. Constitution and the Bill Of Rights?
IN A PIG'S EYE, YOU DO, YOU HYPOCRITES?
