Agreed. Unfortunately, there are some lovers of tyranny masquerading as conservatives in the current times.
I'm never quite sure how to "take" those guys.
The best "take" is they're here to provoke us to respond with hard truths that often remain unspoken in politically correct discussions.
They're like the child at a certain age who keeps asking "why?" to just to see how far you can go before the only answer you have left is "just because, dear".
I don't do "just because".
