About a week or so ago, I joined the "conservative atheist group to post a legitimate question on what "conservative" really means. I made one post on that question, and was immediately kicked out of the group and the post was pulled down. Talk about genuine and sincere discussion and freedom of speech.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Whenever I get "attacked" for asking a question like that I offer to share the rules I learned in a college debate class. They really "opened my eyes" and make sense. I'll share them in a minute...but I want you to not feel badly. I've been blocked from that group as well. It's sort of an oxymoron - Conservatives in America are generally also religious (I call them the Bill Maher term "#Religulous" - click on the word..).It's more appropriate. But my point is - don't feel badly about being rejected by them...they're just a bunch of "Oxy-moronic" folk.

Legitimate questions are not exactly their element.

It’s all about hating anything that’s not toxic white male Christian, it’s not even about politics anymore, if it ever was about politics.
I suppose when Reagan was meandering around the White House in a senile effort to remember his lines there may have been some politics but generally everyone I knew that liked him liked him for the same reason they liked John Wain, the least talented leading man in the history of cinema, he’s the stupid persons ideal of the perfect specimen of alpha male.
Conservatives worship maleness.
It’s probably why there’s an unsettling number of conservative wannabes in the gay community, even though they’re treated like shit. The conservative preoccupation with toxic maleness is just to much for them to resist even if they’re unwanted.
It makes sense in a really dysfunctional way.

As a white heterosexual man, I reject their definition of maleness.
Most of those people have no idea what it means nor if the policies of the party and way of thinking are sustainable. It is just not voting for a Democrat or anyone with a real moral compass.
