I don't. Most of them don't have a clue about what's happening in the world around them.
When the president signed into law allowing the military to arrest people (even Americans) on suspicion of terrorism and can keep them indefinitely without official charges or trial...how did conservatives react?
Same goes for SOPA. Or accepting the official version of 9/11.
Like obedient robots they conform and do as they are told. That's another reason why they despise OWS. The conservatives despise anyone who doesn't march along in step with conformism.
So let the conservatives wave their flags and blather their empty slogans, blah, blah, blah...it's just the air rushing between their ears.

Only the true libertarians, which are very few.

Cowardice and opportunism are not exclusive to conservatives, but it's hard to see how anyone with dignity would describe himself or herself that way nowadays, considering how debased the word has become.

Here we go again . Catch me if you can. And I thought some were just saying how stupid this kind of thread was about five minutes ago. Funny how things change in a matter of seconds. Liberals are so damn hypocritical.

The right pretends they want small government, then push and pass big government legislation. Proclaim they are "pro constitution" then enact anti-constitution bills. Say they are for "less spending!" then spend like lunatics on the rich and large corporations.
Basically the GOP is based completely on hypocrisy.

I only take them seriously when they're trying to take freedoms like abortions and gay rights or when they're trying to force their religion into the public arena. Otherwise, nope.
