Yup, and it's distressing to see conservatism in America is doing the
same thing WRT conservative principles.

Modern conservatives are not traditional conservatives any more than modern
liberals are traditional liberals. Conservatives today seem to be a motley
mix of radicals, anarchists, and brigands. It is especially weird to see the
party of Lincoln (as it calls itself) almost completely taken over by
racists and xenophobes.

I never did figure out how the Democrats, who supported slavery and
generally opposed any form of equal rights, managed to hijack that issue
from the Republicans, who fought to free the slaves, passed the Equal
Housing Act, and enacted many other such reforms. Nor have I figured out how
the Democrats managed to hijack environmentalism from the Teddy Roosevelt
Republicans.

So now you have 'conservatives' running around talking about property rights
and states' rights (originally created to protect slavery) and protecting
large corporations while espousing populist principles. And you have the
'liberals' running around trying to limit free speech and press, disarming
the public, and supporting the worst thugs and despots imaginable in other
countries in the name of 'diversity' and 'tolerance.'

Republicans have always supported States' rights, as that is the basis of a
republic.

(originally created to protect slavery)

Democrats wanted the 3/5 law and Republicans were not willing to go to war
over it and as long as libertarins could control the purse everyone was
willing to leave things be for a while.

and protecting
large corporations while espousing populist principles.

The libertarian wing (once Federalists) of the Republican Party insistthey
address the issues of fiscal responsibility and a small central government,
but libertarians are out of favor now due to their isolationist tendancies.

Racism has always been the Democrats' product.

I believe what I believe. You believe what you believe. Few of us will
change our minds, unless we have no convictions to start with.

I have never been convicted of anything. No one saw me do it. You can't
prove it. The sheep are lying.

You don't change your mind when someone offers a better
explanation/argument?

Sadly, most people do not.
