    They’re for law and order for everybody else:

    Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

      I had to laugh when a righty was trying to argue with studies that the left is less tolerant to the out-group. I might have caused him to have a brain aneurysm when I said, “well no shit, given the diversity of the left’s in-group, the only population remaining in the out-group are ignorant assholes.”

      Paradox of Tolerance at its finest.
