For instance, what if they don’t buy into that whole “US Constitution” thingy? Is that alright with you? Should Conservatives accept that?>>

Depends. If they “don’t buy into it” by not voting, that’s fine by me. If they “don’t buy into it” by not paying taxes that’s not fine. If they “don’t buy into it” by protesting ineffectively or advocating nonsense that never actually becomes law, that’s fine with me. If they “don’t buy into it” by shooting cops, that’s “not okay by me.”

People are perfectly free to “not buy into the constitution thingy.” (A lot of people right here on FR seem to have no problem with that!—not as many as on DU, but enough to be noticable). It’s HOW they “not buy into it” that’s a problem.

But I will not presume that an entire people “will not buy into the Constitution.” There’s a term for that and it’s not pretty.

You’re not actually answering the question. You are quite sly. Why should we Conservatives accept without resistance the beliefs and actions of those who don’t think and talk like us?

If they don’t believe in the Constitution then why should we Conservatives change our beliefs and behaviors?

You seem to want to bash us without providing any real rationale for it other than insults and liberal talking points. That is troll behavior.

Maybe you can de-fuse some skepticism here if you were to actually answer the questions rather than slyly evade them with sloppy sophistry.
