[QUOTE="Raoul Duke, post: 2100368, member: 27529"] The relevance to the question is they are both Constitutionally protected rights. Religion is something you have projected into the discussion. Might I remind you that the same Constitutional right to freedom of religion also guarantees the right to freedom from religion. The stalwart standard bearers of conservatism routinely attack abortion rights while fiercely defending gun rights, while the stalwart standard bearers of liberalism routinely attack gun rights while fiercely defending abortion rights. Conservatives do everything in their power to effectively regulate abortion rights out of existence, while liberals do everything in their power to effectively regulate gun rights out of existence. Any media characterizations of liberals and conservatives is nothing more than a reflection of that. There are no hard answers to my question, but maybe there is an easy one. Liberals and Conservatives are nothing more than different sides of the same coin. They are hypocrites who only support the Constitutional or civil rights they agree with or suit their own political purposes and agendas. More alike in the cynical strategies and tactics they employ to subvert Constitutional rights than they are different. Maybe it's just that simple. [/QUOTE]
