Exactly....

And yet in reading about those unspeakable actions I wasn't the least bit surprised. These same people are usually the ones that claim to be devout Christians while their behavior contradicts this completely.

Well said

They just have a completely different set of moral values. I have given up trying to understand the conservative brain.

If anyone is shocked by this you haven't been paying attention.

Conservatives' moral values are so ridiculously f'd up. Forget about empathy for your fellow Americans. Regardless of the circumstances, any action taken by the government that could effect their lives in even the tiniest of ways is morally wrong, and therefore must be met with aggressive resistance.

I will never be able to understand this mentality. I understand what I'm describing is the most basic trait that separates conservative thinking from progressive thinking but, one would hope there would be certain issues that we can all agree on no matter what. I used to believe that the safety of our children was one of, if not the biggest one of those.

This extreme conservativism is, in my opinion killing our nation from the inside. We can't accomplish anything without nearly sparking a 2nd civil war and I'm sure we look ridiculous, if not voulurable and weak to the rest of the world as a result.

I really hope Hillary decides to run in 2016. God help us if not.
