Is there a fine line between conservatism and bigotry? Do these fall in the same spectrum where a different colour is expressed at different times?

Is intolerance a defining characteristic, and whether someone is a conservative or a bigot depends on the degree of inherent intolerance

When he was intolerant of gays and a bigot, just a few years ago because of his religion, the Left said nothing.  

Now that he has changed, the Left is outraged at conservatives.

Is hypocrisy a defining characteristic of liberalism?

Apparently...lol

Is it possible for a person who describes himself as a conservative to be tolerant of different races, ethnicities, cultures, religions and lifestyles? Can these two characteristics or philosophies co-exist?

true conservatives believe in a level playing field and reward based on merit and achievement - we see individuals, not groups and believe in maximum personal freedom, specifically those freedoms articulated in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

we also believe in helping those who cannot help themselves but reject freeloaders

conservatives believe that two rules apply, don't hurt people and don't take their shit

they also believe in self-reliance and limited government cuz government is often ineffective, inefficient and corrupt

these concepts apply to all

anyone who broadly labels conservatives as intolerant is either ignorant, or is obfuscating their own ineffective ideas by demonizing those with whom they disagree

libs seem to be incapable of debating facts and merit and nearly always rely on the questioning of motives, name calling and slander to make their points - I use these boards to ridicule them when they do that

they also are fixated on taking more and more of what you earn to pay for shit that doesn't work, conservatives reject that

Brooks than why don't you practice these positive traits you speak of in your posts instead of just flinging out insults ?

I do take guilty pleasure in spinning libs up.  they HATE to be ridiculed and hit back

and I do fire back in response to something stupid a lib says

it ain't their skin color, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation . . . . I really don't care cuz I see folks as individuals

it's also due the dumb, snarky shit that comes out of their mouths and their sheer meanness!

I have many lib friends that I spar with.  I see little humanity or compassion with the ones on this board

AND cuz they are wrong on damn near everythin

Well B5 that is a pretty big but & that destroys your credibility with any of your posts.

virtually EVERYONE is of a different race than me. lol

Not to mention my stance on issues like gay marriage is pretty well known here.  

So let me ask you, is it possible for a lib not to be an idiot? Questions like yours tend to make it hard to say yes to my question.

I think GaG meant mixed species instead of mixed race.

I suppose it is possible for a bigot to be tolerant in one or two areas.

Not an all-or-none definition.

Even Trump has a 'my black guy'.

And, there are bigots among people of all races including those of mixed race.

they villify ANYONE who disagrees with them - it's just what they do

just watch how they treat blacks or women who don't toe the lib line

the attacks are personal and vicious

libs are mostly nasty, vile little fucks with no humanity or compassion - this board is full of examples

spare me the lib tolerance nonsensical bullshit

Typical mean spirited post, in your previous post you said you were going to quit...not very consistent,why don't you do what you said you were going to do b5 ?

When it comes to progressives vs conservatives, or pros vs cons, it's not black or white.
