NightSwimmer:

Give me one solid example of conservatives protecting constitutional rights.

You are blinded by idealism.

The NRA, (2'nd amendment)

Rush Limbaugh (1'st amendment, against "fairness" doctrine and CFR)

The Federalist Society (10'th amendment advocacy of state and private rights and limitation of federal power)

The problem is that you libs think of constitutional rights only as the right to murder babies, homosexual marriage, and be paid by the government to create art that nobody wants to buy. All the actual enumerated rights are defended by conservatives.
