Tell that to the clerics and parishioners who get slaughtered at the pinnacle of most Leftist armed revolutions.An acquaintance of mine, who was from South Dakota, once remarked, quite matter-of-factly -
'Where I grew up in South Dakota, there weren't any black people...
...so we had to hate the Indians.'
That symbolizes modern American conservatism perfectly.
Apostasy is the rejection of faith and is considered a very serious offense in Islam for which the punishment is death.....
That symbolizes modern American liberalism perfectly....
I can find more conservative bigots than you can find liberals who want to kill people because of they left any religion.
Another poster put this up....succinct and correct.
In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.
― Theodore Roosevelt

Otherwise, as a rule, Liberals are too busy sitting on their own people, and offering their backsides to foreigners, as a matter of policy, to bother with killing people.

The actual poster that I actually responded to specified 'modern American liberals'.

Become in every facet an American?
Isn't the right to retain or even choose your own manners of diversity - provided they don't themselves break laws or harm others -
isn't that as fundamental an American principle, and right, as any other?

Why would you encourage immigrants who did not wish to be Americans? I once had the great privilege to teach citizenship classes and help with English as a second language classes for new immigrants. And I was privileged to watch those in my classes stand proudly repeat the Pledge of Allegiance, and take their citizenship oath to receive their citizenship status as Americans. They were still of Chinese, Vietnamese, Mexican, Nicaraguan heritage or whatever, and we had great fun as they shared components of their respective cultures with us all, but they wanted to be Americans. They wanted to embrace and conform to and fit in with our uniquely American culture. We were lucky to get those people.
But now we have a new breed of immigrant who thumbs their noses at American principles, ideals, and culture and who demand that we accommodate them as they transform their piece of this country into the hellish or depressing places they left to come here. Why would we want to encourage that? How can that not weaken us as a nation, as a people, as a culture? Language, borders, culture--when these things are ignored, we will become something very different than what we are. And we won't like the difference.

During the 1800s, the several states began to prohibit abortion on demand. It was well understood that the federal government had no constitutional authority to prevent them from doing so.
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration.
That is simply a function of how our system works. Laws not challenged in court, and overturned, are de facto 'constitutional', that is, they can remain in effect.
Roe was the first Supreme Court challenge to anti-abortion laws. In the 1800's, remember, at
least for a time, it was well understood that the federal government could not prevent states from legalized slavery.

Why should all Americans submit to a narrowminded crackpot rightwing version of what it means to be an American?

Hmmm, submit to a rightwing crackpot who understands what it means to be an American. Or submit to somebody like you? Tough decision. But I will go even with a crackpot who understands what it is to be an American than with somebody who sees no problem with destroying that concept and would even allow it to be displaced.
At least for them.
Looking at the idiocy going on in Europe. well, I am starting to believe islam is the way to go
Sweden would be a more free place! Can't wait to read about it a decade from now. Fuckking fascist bastards.

Slavery was ended by the Fourteenth Amendment in the aftermath of the Civil War. That was a step forward. Roe v. Wade was a step backwards.
