CMV: As an American conservative I see absolutely no reason anymore to care what anyone on the other side of the isle says to me. I’ll only be called a racist and a gay Uncle Tom.

Well I'm 100% positive no democrat wants to get rid of the First Amendment, and Id challenge you to find any evidence that most of the modern left (or even a large portion of them) want to get rid of the first Amendment.

Hate speech laws will be the end of First Amendment. The left utterly hates free speech, they even burn Free Speech signs.

There's nothing inherently "classically liberal" about the 2nd amendment,

Liberals support private property and free markets. Seems like you want an authoritarian government that points a gun at you and forces you to complete a capitalist transaction without CONSENT from both sides!
