Yes, Roxy sure doesn't mind the idea of killing people taking advantage of their Constitutional rights, does he?
Conservatives seek freedom. Liberals seek to limit freedom.
This is certainly false if we are using modern definitions of the words. Conservatives won't let gays marry and that certainly isn't freedom. Conservatives, like Liberals, want to tax people, although at a slightly lower rate for some privileged folks, and that certainly isn't freedom.
I have found that your modern Republican prefers social control of society with slightly less economic control. Whereas, your modern day Democrat wants heavier economic control with slightly less social control.
The reality is both parties are anti-freedom. The opposite of freedom is force and both sides of our government coin (that probably costs more to produce than it is worth) are only interested in forcing you to do (or not do) things.
Please don't conflate "conservative" with "Republican". The fact that the two are very different is partly the reason we're in the mess we're in.
But you see it is not me that has merged these two words that perhaps long ago had different meanings into one. So called Conservatives are your so called Republicans. I hear the term used interchangeably non-stop on talk radio, the media, in coffee shops, at college campuses, etc etc.
Regardless, are you implying conservatives don't want to ban abortion? Don't want to ban gay marriage? Do they want to conserve their money and end all wars, bring home every troop from every base not in our borders? Modern Conservatives are Republicans that are trying to get in the backdoor.
In fact, I would argue that lines between Conservative and Liberal or Republican and Democrat are so poorly drawn these days that I can't distinguish where one country ends and the other begins. Both are parties of flapdoodle and force on unparalleled levels.
