It is interesting how much conservatives suddenly care about making sure that their speech should suffer no consequences after spending decades oppressing anyone who dares step out of line with similar loss of job, rank, and income. In the 50s you would be attacked for any deviation from anti-communist orthodoxy, in the 60s for deviation from racial orthodoxy, and in the 80s for daring to question sexual orthodoxy.

I would probably care more about their claims and complaints if they were not so transparent about the fact that their real complaint is that people who they look down on are now in a position to judge and ostracize them.

You don't have to go back to the 50s-80s.

Colin Kaepernick's situation reveals the hypocrisy, just a couple years ago.

It goes both ways. While I agree that conservatives appear to be hypocritical, I also think Democrats are equally as guilty. I really see both parties as two sides of the same coin.
