Question for Conservatives: How do I simultaneously hold two contradictory beliefs?
Posted on 1/16/20 at 1:10 pm

For instance:
- MOLON LABE / Don’t Tread On Me
- Support the Thin Blue Line that treads on us and enforces gun control laws
And
- White Nationalism is evil and racist
- Jewish Nationalism (Zionism) must be supported; it’s racist to oppose it.
And
- Not all cops are bad, it’s just a few bad apples. They don’t make the laws, they just enforce them.
- All Muslims are bad and potential terrorists even though a tiny percent actually commit serious crimes
And
- Socialism/Socialized services are bad; Free Market is better
- We need services like roads, defense, arbitration, policing to be socialized services handled in government monopolies
And
- Government is corrupt, incompetent, untrustworthy
- Certain things are too complex and important to be trusted to the free market and must be handled by government
And
- We can’t give the free market a try because it might result in an oppressive monopoly
- Government is an essential, oppressive monopoly power
And
- Guns don’t kill people. People do.
- We need to keep heroin banned because it kills people and causes crime.
And
- Celebrate Independence Day and our Founders who were cop killers, law breakers, looters, rioters, etc.
- True Patriots obey the law and respect law enforcement officers
And
- Muslims are irrational, evil terrorists for threatening violence against those who disrespect the Koran or Muhammad
- Stomp on the American Flag and I’ll stomp on your face!
And
- We should never back down to the demands of terrorists
- The best way to not get killed by cops (redcoats) is to obey their commands
Edited to clarify:
These aren’t all my personal beliefs. I understand not all other conservatives believe all these things. But if the shoe fits, keep melting.

Upvoted because you’re right. Hypocrisy shouldn’t be tolerated on either side of the political aisle.
And the Don’t Tread on Me + Thin Blue Line thing has always pissed me off.

a lot of false premises but also some good examples of hypocrisy
Like Doc Holiday said, it knows no bounds

This is a shitty post, and mostly nonsensical. It has about 15% accuracy.
Too busy to respond though. You suck, though.

Some of the apparent inconsistencies/contradictions are worthy of discussion, but I become more convinced every day that a cop fricked this guy’s wife and left him to raise the kid.

This thread is fricking stupid. You paint with a very broad brush. I can consider myself a conservative without holding all of those views you just used to label me with.

Just posing so I can come back after I finish my errands. Gonna have fun skull fricking you.

Because very few things in this life are all or nothing.
People with an IQ higher than a grapefruit generally understand that and balance their beliefs.

Kind of like a party of feminist and gays having unquestionable support and protection of a religion that doesn't allow women to drive and kills gays.

You are a special kind of ignorant. You have taken ambiguity to a hypocritical level. Worst post of the year.

This is a companion thread to the one started today about “Question for Progs: How do I simultaneously hold two contradictory beliefs”
BTW I’m a conservative.
Yes, I know not all conservatives hold all these beliefs.
Conservative snowflakes in this thread right now: “Well, Actchualley...”
