Having been born and raised on that side of the political divide, I can tell you that most liberals have never closely inspected what conservatives believe in, and operate solely on the monolithic dogma they've been steeped in their whole lives.
To them, the liberal view is 'normal'. Conservatism is an extremist, dangerous political stance, which conflicts with common sense and all pro-survival considerations -- because 'everybody' says so.
If most people honestly examined both schools of thought, there'd hardly be any liberals in this country. Such examination would have to occur early in a person's social development for it to make a difference, and as we know, the left has a virtual monopoly on the educational establishment.
That, and the fact that they also control the news media and entertainment industry, virtually locks most Americans into enforced liberal indoctrination for much of their lives. It's a most diabolical trap.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. Remember, if the 2nd amendment is not safe, none are. As a matter of fact any law that hampers the advancement of their socialist/marxist world view needs to be demolished. These people are evil and I don’t say that flippantly.
