That is completely ignoring the fact that media companies grew directly out of the real mafia that ran saloons, music halls, theaters and "distribution" (trucking).
You are incorrect on all your points. 1st: Sure there are liberal Christians. However they believe that everyone should have the right to worship or not in their own way and would not interfere in the rights and well being of others. They would never advocate in favor of religious discrimination, even if it benefited themselves, because that is what being liberal means.
Name one conservative national politician that wants government to have nothing to do with marriage at a federal OR state level.
4th: ABSOLUTELY WRONG. You mention party, I am not talking about party. I am talking about philosophy. While Democrats may be less conservative than Republicans, the vast majority of them are not truly liberal and in many cases they are not even remotely liberal.
Conservatives do not care about small government at all. Look at the history of what conservatives vote for, not the bullshit they spew for propaganda. Conservative leadership has been behind nearly every era of increased government spending and increase in the police state in US history.
The one and only true goal of the conservative is to halt or turn back the progress of liberty and justice. That is what it means to be conservative. If you don't believe that and support the conservatives, then you have been fooled by their propaganda machine. You need to wake up, open your eyes and look at what they are actually doing in the real world. The spectrum of liberal to conservative has absolutely nothing to do with the size of government, but rather its purpose. Should government enable or enforce oppression, injustice and tyranny = Conservative. Should government work to enable and preserve equality, defend justice and liberty = liberal.
Oh? How about Ron Paul? Is he not high profile enough for you? He is explicitly asking that the federal government be barred from hearing cases on the constitutionality of religious persecution laws passed by states. This would allow any state to bar athiests, pagans, jews, muslims, mormons, catholics etc from public office, endorse specific state religions or criminalize membership in specific religions. It also allows states to bypass Roe vs Wade and ban abortion and criminalize homosexuality.
Open your fucking eyes. And Ron Paul is one of the milder supporters of "states rights" my friend. Here in the gulf south (Mississippi and Alabama in particular) we still have a lot of people still pissed off that blacks and women got the right to vote and participate in society.
Research with the intentional result of weaponizing the ebola virus shouldn't be done.
They are intentionally taking a virus known to have particularly high kill rates among infected, but poor vectors for infection. And then giving it awesome vectors for infection. They are creating a weaponized super virus.
Just because I reply to someone does not mean I am disagreeing with someone unless I specifically say so, sometimes people provide supporting arguments or information. You know, like normal human conversation.
When you have a group of people forcing their hate on your for your entire life and oppressing you, they EARN hate right back. Even if hate is bad, they are worse.
In practice people who call themselves conservatives tend to be very much against the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th 10th, 14th, etc.
1st: they are in favor of limiting expression by limiting the rights or outright banning of homosexuals and polygamists on purely religious grounds. They are in favor of limiting religious expression by endorsing only specific christian faiths. They are in favor of limiting the press and expression through censorship of "obscene" material as well as eliminating fair use.
3rd: no one bothers to object to the third
4th: Tough on crime conservatives want to repeal due process and the necessity of warrants.
5th: Torture and indefinite confinement to exact confessions, and forcing the revelation of encryption passwords are all part of the tough on crime conservative agenda.
6th: Telecom immunity violates the 6th by preventing people from sueing in response to the telecoms complicity in illegal surveillance. Summary punishment without trial in copyright cases are being sought by conservatives in violation of the 6th.
7th: Terrorism, enough said.
8th: Torture, etc.
9th: Conservatives very often fail to recognize that the enumerated rights of the constitution are not the totality of human rights.
10th: Defense of Marriage act. Dozens others.
14th: States rights advocates object to the 14th amendment preventing them from infringing on citizens rights.
And yes, I am a liberal progressive. The right to self defense is critical in any imperfect society, and all societies will be imperfect to some degree. Besides that, responsible ownership and use of a firearm infringes on the rights of no one directly or indirectly, and by definition the liberal point of view will not interfere in that (though many self proclaimed liberals disagree). I also know that the conservative fascist jack booted thugs would love to stomp on my throat, I intend to shoot them before they get the chance.
Don't forget that the states are not allowed to fuck with your rights thanks to the 14th amendment. Most states rights advocates want to get around that. So they can take away the 1st, 4th and other amendments locally.
Republicans, conservatives and Christians ARE (some of) the people who disrespect the constitution.
Republicans, conservatives and Christians are also the most hateful, bigoted, spiteful people around. There is ample reason to hate them because of the hate they spew at everything and everyone who is not them. The hate they get is a tiny fraction of what they give out. Mostly because their enemies have morality and believe that hate is generally a bad thing.
Freedom of the press is specified in the first amendment specifically because it was the method of exercising free speech beyond the reach of your voice. It specifically refers to the device, the printing press, and in concept all devices and methods of spreading speech. That concept of freedom of the press would equally apply to internet access as it is the modern medium of mass communication.
It is the 14th amendment that keeps local and state governments from infringing on the constitutional right to bear arms, not the 10th. Otherwise you are right.
Defending oneself against rape and murder is a perfectly valid reason to carry a gun in a high crime city. Note: I have lived in the 1# murder per capita city of the western hemisphere.
She has no need for my current password all the time, If I needed her to get something out of my email when I could not, I would have given the password. But there was no need.
Demanding it without need proved that she did not trust me and that she in turn may be unworthy of trust. That was later shown to be true by her behavior.

Conservatism is about stopping the advancement of progressiveness and liberty, or in extreme cases, to roll it back.
The police state is the ultimate conservative institution. And the Patriot Act is one of the police states most powerful weapons.
That is completely ignoring the fact that media companies grew directly out of the real mafia that ran saloons, music halls, theaters and "distribution" (trucking).
The concept of liberty is so 1790s.
You are incorrect on all your points.

Like Ron Paul for starters. Like Joe Arpaio. Like the confederates.

If malls were public places then the private security hired by the mall corporation would not be allowed to prohibit photography inside malls.
I am a gun toting liberal. I love all the amendments. Liberals tend to dislike the 2nd. Conservatives tend to dislike all of them except the second.

You are probably right on the 100 mile vs 200 mile thing, didn't check the specifics before posting.
Yea, she doesn't clean it out very often. Scary stuff in there.
Yea, might have worked with the right guys.
I can't even find my own recently watched queue, it no longer appears in my playstation netflix app, how is anyone else supposed to look at it?

Having olive or brown skin is reasonably suspicious to most police officers.
You don't have to be #1 to have a high rate of crime.

Just because you don't necessarily use them on a regular basis does not mean you should not be allowed to use them on a regular basis (or at all).
