4 inconvenient facts conservatives conveniently ignore

The sudden rewriting of everything we’ve known the right to stand for may seem odd, but, in fact, rewriting history is standard operating procedure on the right. Here are just some of the stranger examples.

2. NRA used to support gun control.

3. Conservatives have always been the voting bloc to stop civil rights.

4. They were for Common Core before they were against it.
