The rule of law sets the standards of decency and in this country our laws are based on the original Noahide laws. Without these laws a society will (and has every time) crumble from within until it is eventually too weak to defend itself. Then someone else comes along and takes over. Conservatives are doing everything they can to maintain these laws because they are students of history and as such they know very well what will happen if these laws are allowed to disappear. This is why conservatism is about maintaining the status quo, which is often taken out of context by liberals and assumed to mean that we do not want change for the good. Maintaining the status quo in this case means making sure that behavior that is unacceptable, inexcusable, and immoral stays that way. In contrast the liberals are doing everything that they can to rip the rule of law apart. They want to lower the standards to the point that anything and everything is acceptable. They fully and completely accept anything you’re doing wrong as long as you accept what they’re doing. This is of course and expression of “me-ism”

The rule of law is indeed a fair standard as long as it is maintained. If new laws that erode the rights or morality of society are introduced then they are evil laws and should be repealed. This is especially true when the Supreme Court passes a law without the consent or approval of society.

Senator McCarthy was an extremist who was allowed to use a legitimate reason to be concerned (the Red Scare) to use unreasonable and unfair practices. The truth of the Salem Witch Trials is unknown to most and has largely been lost to innuendo, implication, misdirection, blame shifting, minimization, and excusing. If you take the time to do the research and dig deeper than just the surface reporting you would find that the people that were accused were in fact quite guilty. They did some wild, crazy, and evil things and the local populace was so shocked and traumatized that the event became infamous. Unfortunately, the truth has been obscured by the rampant false accusations and bizarre and insane techniques used to prove of disprove that someone was a witch. Because of this the majority of the people living today have no idea of what they’re talking about. You must look deeper if you want to understand what really happened.

Which riots are you referring to? The majority of the more recent riots (last 100 years) have been over race or liberal ideas. Also, which wars are you referring to? You’re going to have to be more specific.
