If you choose to see conservatives on the board as a broad-brush group, you're free to do so.
You're also smuggling in the concept of what "gov't overreach" is. We could sharpen our pencils and discuss that with a bit more precision, but not if you just want to throw out "gotchas" because nameless people said something about different things years ago. <eyeroll> It's not the best audition for someone's time.
Thanks for the advice. <eyeroll>
The problem here is there is always a kernel of uniqueness when comparing specific examples or “discussing in more detail” that derails those discussions instead of focusing on the idea/position.
My position here is simple:
If you are here illegally, you can/should be deported.
If you are a pedophile or engage in underage sex you should be arrested.
If you are protesting legally, you should be able to do so free of government interference, no matter how stupid I think the protest is.
Government agents should not be raiding homes unless there is a valid warrant signed by a judge.
Troops should not be deployed against US citizens unless there is extenuating circumstances (think LA riots or post Katrina). Protesters sitting in a target or a small group protesting a Church don’t apply, let local law enforcement handle it.
Trump is a lowlife the same way Clinton was, if one was bad so is the other for the same reasons. It matters equally.
Overuse of EOs is problematic, no matter who is doing it.
Government overreach is bad. Period.
1st and 2nd amendments are central to a free democracy and should be protected at all costs, no matter what. Hiding behind them to abuse people/kids is wrong.
Telling the truth always matters more than lying or exaggerating, no matter how harmless.
I would think there would be widespread general agreement here on these principles. But there doesn’t seem to be, and opinions are fluid depending on which tribe is in charge.
