Scary stuff on the right

Sure, traditional conservatism advocates equal rights and equal treatment under the law, but so does liberalism. Neither advocates racial hatred, although as we've already established there are racists on both sides of the spectrum.

SUBMAN - What if the right things he's having his rights trampled on, but he's wrong? What if he's feeling oppression that isn't there?

Generally when a radical - be they on the left or right - gets scared, they're not scared of something that's actually happening, they're scared of something that one of their fellow extremists says is happening. It becomes a sort of conspiracy theory circle jerk.

In a general sense, I also look at policies advanced by both and see liberal policy destroying concepts of personal responsibility in minority circles, promoting a sense of entitlement which creates an unrealistic expectation and government co-dependancy with the liberal minority voter. While I agree that there are racists on both sides, conservatives traditionally put the primacy on equal treatment under the law, while liberals are concerned about "leveling the playing field". More often than not...on racial terms. In these wys, the liberal truly benefits nobody. I'm not saying that's the intent, but intentions suck when you get down to it as applied politically. Racial hatred.???.You be the judge.

Anybody see something similar?

I'm hard pressed to make changes because a few are afraid. Life will never be about compassion, as defined by one group of people, but individualism which will always be about everyone. Laying the actions one or two people, Heller's murderer, and this Von Brunn fellow, is like laying the assasinations of JFK, RFK and the Manson murders at the feet of the left, none is true and all should be rejected out of hand.

It is like saying the Columbine shooters killed because they were picked on. Crazy. It is impossible to predict and or make assumptions based on political affiliation, regardless of what a politically motivated homeland security department says.
