Why i'm a conservative republican.

[Need answers]

Trump's "take the guns first, and worry about due process later" policy would be feasible with these laws. Any gun-hating person should reflect on the fact that Trump could use these laws to grab control of the country illegally.

Are you saying that if a man threatens to kill people that he should keep his guns?

You know well as I that Trump was speaking of the unstable and those with a history of violence, not the general public.

If, and i say if, red flag laws are needed, then we need to enact laws to protect the american peoples gun rights. They should be allowed to sue the law enforcement agencies if they take a persons guns who hasn't proven to be a threat. After they pay millions of dollars to victims of such law abuses they might be more careful who they discriminate against. Gun owners have civil rights too.

Almost all liberals, regardless of party, voted for the civil rights act. Almost all conservatives, regardless of the party, voted against it.

No, thats not true. More conservative republicans voted for civil rights that democrats did.

Just because a person is conservative doesnt mean they dont believe in changing things that are wrong. Republicans wanted to save the Union but outlaw slavery.

The media doesn't belong to you. Those who own the media have a right to use it as they see fit.

Only YOUR VOICE belongs to you ...

Some media does belong to me. Such as the Liberal PBS and NPR. They are funded by my tax dollars and have no right to discriminate against me. As far as the rest of the media goes, i have the right to be heard. If they deny me such right they are bigots and i have a right to demand fair treatment.

But your assertion was wrong. Thats the point.

My assertion isn't wrong.

Just because a Republican put one black on the Supreme Court (in the 150 years since slavery ended) does not make them pro Civil Rights ...

You don't own these outlets. The government grants some level of funding to them, ... but they are privately owned.

Actually most republicans voted for the first black supreme court judge too. And your assertion is flat wrong.

So? They shouldnt be held accountable for discrimination?

In other words, i dont own CNN so i have no rights to be heard there. Thats called discrimination, and you shouldnt double down on their discrimination.

Except the Republicans of the 19th century were liberals

 

[Quartermaine]

No, thats not true. More conservative republicans voted for civil rights that democrats did.

The senate ratified the civil rights act by a vote of 71 to 29. of the 71 voting for passage 27 were Republicans and 44 Democrats.
in the house the Civil Rights Act passed 289 to 186. Those voting for passage: Democrats 153, Republicans 136

No they were not. You seem to think that being a conservative means that you dont believe in changing anything, and because the Republicans wanted to change slavery and discrimination that they are liberal. But that's wrong, we believe in changing injustice, just as the original conservative Union loving Republicans did also.

Republicans had a minority in congress at that time. Percentage wise republicans voted more for civil rights that democrats did. Meaning more of a percentage of republicans voted for civil rights than Dems.

Justice Thurgood Marshal appointment to the Supreme Court was approved by the Senate on August 30, 1967. 37 Democratic and 32 Republican Senators voted for him.

There is no law against discrimination toward certain points-of-view ...

And how many of democrats voted for Clarence Thomas? the only black supreme court judge? Only 11.

There is no law against me demanding fair treatment either. Yet you think i should be quiet.
