Is that kind of like how many "pro-family" or "anti-gay" conservatives many times get caught diddling kids, sleeping with mistresses and/or having gay relations? Like those rules?

And I'm not falling for anyone's tricks. I am an independent thinker, unlike you and your daily dose of Fox and Friends and Brietbart.

In just a few short months, AOC has jumped to the leader of the Democrat party. I think that accomplishment alone is a pretty big deal, politics is pure persuasion, not based in facts.

You know, this is how both sides sets up straw men which leads to disingenuous conclusions:

Stating that a "marriage" should be between a man and woman is not anti-gay. Marriage was a religious construct originally that was adopted/promoted by government as it provides for a great community/QOL and stability in society.

Very few people are "anti-gay". Many may be anti-gay acts, but love the sinner. In fact I would guess many more people are "anti-Christian" because many Christians believe sodomy is a sin.
A true conservative believes in limited government and should let people do as they desire. If they want to form unions outside of marriage, then by all means love who you want to love. That doesn't mean anyone should be forced to endorse it, bake cakes for it, or take pictures of it. BTW, I'd be fine if a gay baker didn't want to make cakes for a heterosexual wedding.

BTW, people of all statures "diddle kids", cheat on spouses, steal, lie, etc.
It's human nature to sin, it's discipline, faith, and loyalty to god/family that should keep you on a decent path.

Its a dead giveaway of the Left accusing anyone that writes an opposing opinion that they “dose [on] Fox and Friends and Brietbart” as if anyone who thinks differently must be brainwashed. Projecting much?

I have plenty of truly conservative friends. There's a difference between them and people who are so afraid of AOC that is consumes them. Like Mesabah. No. She is not the head of the Democratic party.

I can’t be *for* large scale government initiatives because I operate equipment which burns fossil fuel? What kind of argument is this? Am I allowed to argue we should eat less meat while occasionally eating meat myself? Am I a hypocrite?

The world’s a confusing place.

The Es on my jet were busting my balls the other day for flying the exact .825 most fuel efficient speed on our 9 hour flight back from Hawaii. 10
Minutes longer flight time but saved several thousand pounds of gas. I’ll keep fighting the good fight but I guess I’m a hypocrite for going on OSTs and lobbying for the environment on APC.

As we’ve seen with the release of the FEC suit involving the campaign finances management by her chief of staff. The knives are out to trim her sails.

No one is afraid of AOC. Most conservatives love her and hope MSNBC, CNN and other MSM networks keep giving her plenty of air time. She, IIham Omar and Rashida Tlaib are the best thing to happen to conservatives since "you can keep your doctor if you like your doctor."

When you have 3 people that are so anti America that they are being censored by their own constituents and made fun by just about everyone who has an IQ greater than 4 on both sides.

Ocasio is talking about radically changing America, decimating the Constitution, and dramatically changing your way of life as you know it, all while she sits on her throne eating burgers and riding around in Uber. Yes, I would say that’s anti-American. What do you say it is? Pro-American? Totally in favor of America? Cmon you have to be smarter than you’re coming across
