Stripe , conservatives are extremists, and liberals are pansies . You've got things reversed .
In America, people calling themselves "conservatives " are opposed to everything that is good for this country. . They are anti-freedom, anti-progress, anti-equality and anti-justice .
Supposedly, conservatism means wanting to preserve the best of the past . But American conservatives are trying to return to the WORST of America's past, and then some .
They claim to be "constitutionalists ,", but they actually have absolutely no understanding of our constitution, and use it to try to further their fascist and theocratic agenda . The Constitution is whatever THEY say it is . If they want to ban something and make it illegal, they use the Constitution to demand this . If they want to make something evil legal, they also use it .
Or to make something mandatory which is actually totally unconstitutional, such as mandatory school prayer and Bible readings .
American conservatives claim to be for "liberty ", but they want liberty for themselves and no one else . And liberty to violate the rights of others, particularly gay people .
To these right-wing extremists , only heterosexual Christian Americans have any rights . Mostly white heterosexual Christians, and mostly white heterosexual female Christians .
If you are not a Christian, or in some cases even a Catholic , if you are gay or LGBT , an atheist or agnostic , you are a second class citizen to them.
These conservatives tolerate women only if they agree with them on issues and share the same religion and don't want to assert their rights as women . If you are a liberal black, Hispanic, a Muslim , you are also a second class citizen .
Conservative don't believe in equality if you are a black or Hispanic or non-white and don't toe the conservative line . Conservatives don't like the poor, the struggling middle class , the unemployed , the disabled, elderly and infirm people etc .
If you were born poor, or have been impoverished through unemployment , are too disabled to work , are elderly and infirm, you are a "lazy bum" who doesn't want to work and wants to liv in luxury while the government allegedly takes hard-earned money form those who do work .
It's all YOUR fault , and you don't deserve any help from the government .
The government has absolutely no business providing for people in need, including children and infants, because this would be "socialism", and we know socialism is the same thing as communism and automatically leads to government tyranny and killing millions of innocent people .
Conservatives talk glibly about the need for "self-reliance", but this is just a code word for the government denying help to people who are down on their luck .
If you are rich, you deserve to be rich , because you are smarter than poor people and you worked hard . Poor people deserve to be poor because they're lazy . And so on .
