I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you directing your post to me, because if you are you are way out of line.
“I’m still standing, along with millions of my armed brothers and sisters.”
Yes, we are. Because we still have a second amendment.
“BTW, I live in the Deep South and lately have been astonished to learn that many who I thought were hard core conservatives are not conservative at all.”
Conservative is a fairly vague term when speaking of political beliefs. If we take it to mean believing in the constitution as originally intended and holding true freedom as the goal to be sought then I would say that only a tiny, tiny, tiny percentage truly believe in that sort of “conservatism”. Many who call themselves conservative are socialists at heart but don’t even seem to know it.
I have heard some who call themselves conservative make such statements as the following, “Now, I’m about as conservative as anybody you will ever meet but I think the federal government ought to furnish FREE HEALTH CARE for everybody.”
To me that is in a class with saying, “Now I’m as honest a man as you will ever meet but I have to go now, I need to go and steal a few things that I can sell to get some money.”
They’ll never live through the “chaos” stage.

it’s already started and I dont see conservatives stepping up.
There are, or were, plenty of men on this site who are perfectly OK with abortion, if their daughter were to be raped. Very, very few humans have the true courage of their "convictions." Expediency makes cowards of most people.
