I've ceased being dumbfounded about how conservative the US is.
I don't consider that "conservative."
Attempting to legislate a particular religious belief is more akin to fundamentalism.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Back when...
I long for the days of Barry Goldwater...
I too long for the likes of Barry Goldwater. Scoop Jackson was somewhat similar, as was Alan Simpson. They were all respected for their honesty as well.
We could use a few more like them.

Re: Truth (corrected)
Slander commonly defined is a malicious, false, and defamatory statement.
Slander is oral, libel is written. Posts on this board would come under the latter.
You, like most conservatives, are convinced of your own victimimization, all the while mocking those whom you feel seek gain from an "ideology of victimology."
I disagree about your charge that most conservatives feel they are victims.
Leaving social conservatives out of the conversation as not being real conservatives in most any respect, how can you claim that, for example, small government conservatives feel to be victims? They're mostly hard-working middle-American who are just trying to stay ahead of the tax and spend crowd.
On the other hand, what I have seen around a lot of colleges is a plethora of "victims" who claim to want "social justice." And portraying themselves as victims is one of their main tools to acquiring that "social justice." And anything they claim to want comes usually at someone else's expense...

Thanks
You have a great Veterans Day, and may you, like me, be showered with thanks from a grateful nation.
If you are a veteran you have my thanks, not just today but everyday.
