You disparage my comprehension, and then you lead

Your posts are rife with shit that no educated person falls for. There's no evidence whatsoever that you're capable of arguing with anything you read rather than lazily accepting and then posting whatever reinforces your beliefs.
Keep the laughs coming, fake news boy!

In response to the silly thread of close to the same name.
1) Following the constitution: To a conservative this has nothing to do with adhering to the beliefs or intent of the constitution's writers. To the contrary, conservatives define 'following the constitution' as agreeing with them.
2) Welfare: Conservatives start from the presumption that only poor people can exploit the system, and ignore that welfare systems are what help keep an economy stable and growing.
3) Free Market: To a Conservative, the free market is a system where corporations and businesses can do whatever they want without any regulation, and establish monopolies. Even though a free market can't exist without anti-monopoly laws/protections.
4) Taxation: Conservatives go and on about how the tax system isn't fair to the super rich and corporations, even though they pay very little tax as percentage of their income. In fact the middle and lower classes are over taxed like serfs to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.
5) Religious Freedom: Conservatives hate being told that this is a secular nation where no one religion dominates, and they believe this is a 'nation under god' rather than a nation with a secular government.
6) Tradition: Whenever conservatives come across anything designed to make society more accepting of a group of people they appeal to tradition. They think tradition means making up 'family values' every time group x wants to be accepted, just like over same sex marriage and racial equality.
7) Freedom of speech: To conservatives it doesn't matter whether they are preaching hatred, burning Korans, or discriminating against people - they believe their definition of 'freedom of speech' gives them the right to it.
The views/teachings of Jesus: Conservatives think that Jesus believed in denying medical treatment and help to the poor, and that cutthroat 'free market' capitalism was a fair and just way to run a society.
9) Democracy: Conservatives think democracy means gerrymandering every state they have control over, and excluding people they don't like from voting.
10) The Bible: Despite the fact that in all major religion surveys the non religious and those of the Jewish faith know more about it, the conservatives keep trying to use the bible as an excuse for anything; and claim others don't know the Bible when they disagree.
