It seems to me he was talking about his Christian views and not Conservatives.
Probably.

There is no doubt the Republican party has wrapped itself around Religion and every election Cycle it becomes more and more apparent. Issues in most elections have become about Christian beliefs and "morals" .
That's not quite correct. The Republicans went after the right wing religious voters. They also tried to pick up the racist vote. They now seem to be going after the anti-islamic bigotry vote, too.
There are conservatives among the Democrats. They tend to be fiscal conservatives, rather than religious conservatives.

What does this mean for a two party System?
I am beginning to suspect that the nation is doomed, though I sure hope I am wrong. The Republican party seems to be so consumed with hatred and negativism, that they seem to be willing to allow the nation to fail as a step toward achieving their agenda.

The meaning of concervative is to conserve the status quo.
Since 1980, the conservatives have been working to destroy the status quo.

I laughed, and I gave you a high rating on that post.

Clue me in on what I missed so I can join in the frivolity.
It ought to be pretty obvious.
You misspelled "tenets" as "tennants" in Message 3.
The response:
Dr Adequate writes:
If those are the tenants of the Republican Party, does that make them the lessor of two evils?
Here "lessor" was used as a response to "tenant", but it was used in pun, to sound like "lesser" and thus keep the response on topic for the thread.
I had a good laugh. You probably won't, because it isn't funny if it has to be explained to you.
Buzsaw writes:
Did you consider the phrase "have emerged into" in your assessment of Adequate's response?
That phrase was not in the reply that stimulated laughter.

Also, it is mostly liberals who advocate for Islamic interests and black militants in this nation which really does aspire to impose their religious and racial views on everyone.
Most of the liberals that I know are very critical of Islamic culture and of black militancy.
They do, however, support the US constitution, and the bill of rights.
You are doing what so many on the right do. You see instances where liberals stand up for the bill of rights, and you totally misconstrue it as support for things you don't like.

Relative to the Bill of Rights, liberals don't apply it to talk radio but miss-apply it to defend the rights of those violent interests I've cited which seek to suppress freedom in America and forcefully impose their values on the people.
You are spinning the usual right wing lies.
