Every "conservative" comment I have ever read or heard, recently, have been Obama bashers.

CD is about as close as I want or care to get. Therefore I draw my conclusions accordingly.

MOST BLACKS REJECT THE VIEW THAT THE CONSTITUTION IS A FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED OR RACIST DOCUMENT

Most blacks reject the view that the Constitution is a fundamentally flawed or racist document | Public Agenda

In fact, the Constitution has been misinterpreted and misapplied over the years. It's this abuse and twisting of meaning that is the flaw in society and culture, not in the document itself. The document must remain intact. There is no "fundamental flaw" in it. We cannot change the Constitution to suit our view of culture and society We must work to change culture and society to line up with the Constitution.

In fact, it was the Constitution itself that would ironically bring about the legal arguments needed to change unjust laws which denied African Americans equality. Read up on it.

I agree.

Other examples would be conservative columnists, their tv and radio personalities, the TeaBagger movement and Sarah Palin and her followers (to name just a few) are all "conservatives" who certainly fall into the category of Obama Bashers...

Do you honestly believe that garbage spewed by many CD conservative posters actually accurately represent the thoughts and opinions of conservatives here in the US? What about the liberal posters - are the liberal opinions voiced on here an accurate reflection of all liberals in the US? CD does not provide even an accurate reflection of US citizens as a whole!

Only closed-minded folks would take the comments of some conservatives on an online forum and use them to stereotype all conservatives. The last sentence just proves how closed-minded you are. Most conservatives in real life would be appalled by the disrespectful comments spewed on CD.

When will we see these "conservatives" on radio, television shows, cable news, and in print media, telling the rest of the country that they don't align themselves with these "Obama Bashes"!!

Right now the NRC is and has done nothing but lead by example in how to undermine, dis-respect, and obstruct this President.

They then refuse to rein in the certifiable loons who spout the "Hussein", communist, anti-Christ nonsense; and are actually reaching out to them for nothing more than votes for office.

Where are these rational conservatives you speak of??..I truly would like to visit their websites to view sane opposition.
