    If conservatives had actual values, they’d be screaming as loud as the left. Some do, and did,.but Liz Cheney was chased out of Congress for doing what she felt was right.

    Individual exceptions do not at all argue against the sad reality that “conservatism” is just regressive bigotry, and as such lacks any collective principle worth bothering to learn or debate.

    Why should anyone take claims of “conservative values” seriously when they are routinely discarded whenever they stop being convenient?

      We’ve seen when conservatives raised their voice, it happened after 9-11 and was directed at emigrants. Now we see it with trump.
