Real conservatives will sometimes have to defend positions that they may personally find abhorrent.

No, real conservatives will not defend someone threatening to desecrate the Eucharist as free speech. Maybe an ACLU member would, but not a conservative. I might disagree with the Baptist faith (for example), but I would never defend someone invading their house of worship and desecrating it, especially as an act of "free speech".

Morally what the guy is doing is wrong. That doesn't make it illegal. And there are a social conservatives and fiscal conservatives.

Remember this line? "I may not agree with what you say but I will defend your right to say it to the death."
