This is just false:

Many, if not most, conservatives want government schools to indoctrinate children in their religion.

Many, if not most, conservatives want to repeal the privilege against self-incrimination and the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.

Many conservatives want to deprive people in the United States of the right to trial by jury and to due process of law.

Many conservatives I have read on these very boards want to repeal at least part of the Fourteenth Amendment.

You whine about hyperbole and then make wild claims about the "takeover" of the health care system?

How does the fact that they have legsilated the hell out of anything change by the fact that they have power to do so? All you did was verify the accuracy of my posting..
