A Oklahoma City was a nut, not a conservative.
I find it curious that multitudes of conservatives blame Muslims for 9/11. They blame a great many people for the actions of just a token few. They demand apologizes and become out rage when none come. Yet, when looked at from their perspective, 9/11, while a tragedy is not their fault. They'll admit it was done by '...nuts...' and not by sane, rational individuals. So why should they apologize for something that is not the fault of them or their view on their philosophy?
The two individuals that blew up the Alfred P. Murrah building in Oklahoma City on 4/19, were part of the loosely organized group: The Militiaman Movement. The same group that would be the precursor to the modern day Tea Party. The similarities between these two groups heavily out weighs their differences.

Even if he were a conservative I, unlike liberals do not whitewash foul deeds committed by people who are on the same half of the political spectrum as me.
Lets see, the two guys were not liking President Clinton, nor the Democrats. They were not liberal nor moderate. They were not insane nor possessed by evil spirits/demons/ghost of jack the ripper. And their 'views' were very consistent with more extreme views held by conservatives back then, and agreeable to many conservatives in 2014.
I'm not accusing you, BamaD of having anything to do with those two. I am saying that being conservative, talking abut using fertilizer to blow other people up, is in poor taste given US History. I would like to think you of many other conservatives on this forum could realize that such words, can have negative effects. What if I said I lost someone dear in that horrifying event? Would it sound so funny and amusing? That conservatives complain Muslims worldwide can not apologize for 9/11, yet feel they should get a free pass for 4/19? How hypocritical is that?
An for the record, I didn't lose anyone I directly knew.

When the 2nd was written the musket was the state of the art military weapon. So to be consistent you would have to support private ownership of the M2 machine gun. Also it allowed private ownership of cannon, do you really want that?
When the 2nd was written, blacks were considered 3/5ths of a white person. Women were not allowed to vote. George Washington was not President. And the colonized numbered just thirteen.
By your argument, blacks should be worth 3/67ths of a white person. Women are slaves and property in every sense. George Washington is worshipped like Jesus Christ. And there are still only thirteen colonies.
Truth as they say, is stranger than fiction. George Washington is revered, not as a religious icon, but a patriotic one. Black people are just as equal to vote and participate in government as anyone else. Women not only vote, but run for public office. Our little country grew into one of the most powerful nations on the planet.
'Consistent' you say? How about wisdom? Would that not make for a better way of experiencing liberty?
