I gave you my reasons why I thought you were conservative and/or anti-Muslim. The anti-Muslim part is opinion, the conservative (at least on this issue) is fact. You have a problem with being conservative on the topic of equal rights, take it up with the Political Science Department at the UofC.

This is my absolute favourite quote right here. First of all, I'll repeat what many posters have said... did you pass political science at the UofC? Or did you just sit in on classes and pretend to be a student?

Second of all your perspective on conservatives and equality rights shows a grotesque bias. I'm a conservative, firmly along the lines of say ... Preston Manning or Stephen Harper. I'm all for small-l liberal equality rights for everybody, but I and most conservatives believe in neutral equality. That is, all laws apply the same to all. I don't believe in your far-left, hyper-Charter, judicial democrat notion of niche equality. It's crazy and frankly doesn't make much sense in a modern democracy.

You want to debate me on my notion of equality. Fine. But stop trying to paint the majority of conservatives as trogolodytes. Very Ann Coulterish. You attempt to discredit opposing opinions by trying to inflame prejudice.
