I used to wonder why conservatives always seem to be hypocrites. I finally came to the conclusion that it isn't anything inherent about legitimate conservative philosophy. The problem is with any extremist movement that decides their cause justifies ignoring the opinions of others, the rules of society, and of the law. When winning by any means is acceptable you have moved out of the realm of politics and and into insurrection and revolution.

Well yeah, extremists generally can't get what they want lawfully so of course it's Facebook pages and witch hunts and insurrections.
