paulsen dares:

I said that conservatives believe in the rule of law, not the rule of man. I said that conservatives believe in the facts and the truth, not in their feelings. We say "Yes", not "Yes, but". Liberals do that. I said that conservatives believe in "states rights", not the centralized power of the federal government.
Tell me how any of that redefines conservative. I dare you. I double-dog dare you.

I'll take your dare; -- you claim:

I said that conservatives believe in the rule of law, not the rule of man.

Yet many of your posts here at FR claim that 'majority rule' at the State level trumps our Bill of Rights; - correct?

Yep, you've claimed that conservatives believe in "states rights", -- like in the 'right' of California to prohibit assault weapons; - correct?

Tell me how any of that redefines conservative. I dare you. I double-dog dare you.

Conservatives do not believe that a "states rights" trump an individuals rights.
