See, unlike you, I recognize and uphold your right to believe and say what you like, no matter how much I disagree with it. I embrace this most basic of American principles, while you seek to suppress it.

Huh. I guess that makes me a better American than you, doesn't it?
Which is sort of ironic from where you think you sit, isn't it?
I seek to surpress nothing. I have just grown tired of all you blow-hards who can only complain and find fault with America. I am tired of hearing how great Europe may be, or how wonderful Sweden and Norway seem to be. Since obviously you cannot change what happens in this country because the majority of people disagree with you, then your only other option is to leave. So do it!!!!!!!

It was your ass who complained because of the policies of this country they hated you. So if you don't want to be hated, leave, again a novel idea. How about that???? If you don't want to leave, quit fracking complaining and do something about it. Either way it is your own damn choice.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
