Hypocrites

The same people who always cry about their 2nd amendments rights being violated anytime reasonable gun control laws are sought, are the same people who want to restrict peoples 15th and 24th amendment rights.

Conservatives of the GOP, the Libertarian, Constitutional and Tea Party are against all but the first ten amendments. Which would put us way back into an era that no Democrat wants.

Conservatives don't even support the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th amendments.

They used to support the 5th to keep out of jail in congressional hearings on their wrongdoings but replaced it with 'I do not recall.' Since they objected to the rest of the 5th. And they wear the flag as prophylactic to taking responsiblity whenever they mess with others' rights...
