Reply #5: They are conflating Conservative = Republican to advance their argument

[dalaigh lllama]

The same way they see "socialist" in the German National Socialist Party and conflate socialism with nazism, whereas they are at opposite ends of the political spectrum in reality.

The definition of a conservative is "Favoring traditional views and values; tending to oppose change." How they can say our Revolutionary founders were conservative and keep a straight face is truly amazing.

Because Lincoln, T. Roosevelt, and MLK belonged to the Republican party at some point does not mean their political philosophies were conservative.
Lincoln -- preserving the union may have been conservative, but freeing African Americans from slavery was a radically progressive act.
T. Roosevelt -- busted corporate monopolies and started our National Parks
MLK -- fought and died for civil rights, definitely not in favor of the status quo.
