Probably because religious fundamentalists primary concern is protecting all life.
This isn't true from what I've seen. You seem to be thinking "Christian fundamentalists," but really their goal is the same as the goal of any fundamentalists: spread your religion, against the will of others if necessary. Protecting all life is a distant second: souls are more important; I dare you to ask any fundamentalist if a body is more important than a soul.

Conservatives are good


The conservative ideology is one that promotes freedom and individuality while the liberal ideal is one that promotes collectivity and forced sacrifice by and for the state.
There's one definition. Just as easily one could say "conservatives promote the status quo and tradition, liberals promote progress and improvement."

The Constitution is good


Yeah we generally like this; and don't forget the federalist papers.
I like the "generally" and how you skip judicial review completely Smiley: lol What I read from this: "Conservatives like the Constitution when it supports what they believe, and dislike it when it doesn't." I feel the Constitution is made to be a sort of second Bible for many; but unlike the Bible, there is an end-all interpreter in the SCotUS. Thank goodness!

Do you... actually know any conservatives? Because the entire thing is, this is what I see conservatives do all the time, ie:

-Muslims are bad
-Christians are good
-Conservatives are good
-Liberals are bad. Also, they are socialists, *****, anarchists, communists, fascists, puppets of Soros, and paedophiles.
-Bachmann and Palin are good
-Obama is "bad" and by "bad" I mean pretty much the most vile things you can say about a person. His name is also Barry Soetoro. And he's a Kenyan.
-The Constitution is good
-Judicial review is bad

Etc, etc...

So, you don't actually know any Conservatives either? Because that's not Conservatism you're depicting there, that's the stupid ramblings of ideologues. A Conservative would tell you:
- Islam is being corrupted to radicalize impoverished people.
- Christianity tracks better than a lot of other religions with Western values.
- Liberalism will lead to the downfall of America.
- Bachmann and Palin are out there saying what needs to be said (one to sell herself, one to run for President).
- Barack Obama's political ideology is not good for America.
- The United States Constitution is the Gold Standard.
- Legislating from the bench is bad, but difficult to curb given our current system.

Unfortunately it seems the "ideologues" are the majority, or at least the ones who speak out the most and the loudest (not just in media, but in my area). And as I stated, I feel most of the polarizing views are spoken out of ignorance, or frustration. It just so happens that, out of the people I know and interact with, the majority of the most polarized portion are conservatives with little education. But as said, it's a biased example simply due to who I see and talk to normally.

This is the lie you, and your liberals buddies, spread. Muslims do this Christians don't. Not saying Christians havn't in the past; just not today. But hey, just like the liberal media you so adore, if you say it enough maybe enough people will start to believe it which allows you to effectively promote your anti judeo-christian value system.

I am curious how you think Christians are forcing their religion on others. Are our troops shoving the natives in the ME into baptist churches at the point of their gun? I don't remember reading about that anywhere.

I actually already provided you with several examples. I'm not the one who literally says the government is holding a gun to me Smiley: lol

I'm not going to even begin to talk with you about the constitution. It's obvious you really don't care what it says; only whether or not you can use it to promote your own social agenda which is based in jealousy and hate.
Yeah, as said, you don't believe in judicial review, which is what our country's been based on for around 200 years. Why? Because it often rules against what you want, and since its interpretation is absolute, you can't seriously argue that it's wrong. I have no problem with the current judicial system; truth be told, it's my favorite of the three branches. I don't agree with all the decisions made from it, but having their opinions be well thought and thoroughly explained is a lot better than a lot of the original legislation they're ruling on.

But it's evident in "educated" people, as well. You call them Conservatives, when, clearly, they are not. They're morons. But you associate their views and their idiocy with Conservatism, and that's not fair or accurate. No more fair or accurate than suggesting that all liberals are Marxist Fascists masquerading as compassionate bleeding hearts.

Technically, they call themselves conservatives. Hey, if the Tea Party or Glen Beck's adherents aren't conservative, that's cool. But they think they are, and unfortunately, so do most people. It might be a perception problem, but that's because they perceive themselves as conservative; and there's a lot of them.

And you're hanging out with them? Of course when i'm looking for a good b-ball game I can be found at college park with all the brothers; what's your excuse?
Nope. I meet them and talk with them; or talk with them online. Because, as said, it's nice to know what people with different views than me think. Otherwise I'd resort to name-calling, blatant insults, or false arguments like... oh right, you.

It's not as though there's a lot of push-back going on. Either against "conservative" blow-hard media jockeys, firebrand politicans or rank & file idiots like Gbaji carrying Varus's water daily.

I suspect like most liberals you're full of it and assume you know what they think. I've not met to many liberals that enjoy, and make a point of, hanging with Christian fundamentalists.

Going to a meeting and meeting people aren't the same.

Smiley: laugh

You're precious. Meeting an entire group of creationists and discussing their studies doesn't count as meeting people. Do I have to play basketball or something with them instead? I'm sure you discuss a lot of politics on the court, you know, like "So how many of you crack babies are on welfare?" or "blacks are animals, whites never attack people or riot." Stuff like that?
