Courtesy: Merriam-Webster<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThere was a time when conservatives and conservative Christians would distance themselves from a man like Milo Yiannopoulos. Now they retweet him, they quote him, they cheer him on in memes they post on their Facebook pages, and they are deadly silent when it comes to what THEY view as his perverted beliefs and lifestyle. Of course they are only saying they are against these things and for \u201cfamily values.\u201d They are obviously lying.<\/p>\n
Conservatives are showing us on a daily basis that they care nothing about the \u201cmorals\u201d and the \u201cprinciples\u201d they have lectured the rest of Americans about for over four decades. Their silence at things like this speaks volumes about their true beliefs. Had this been a Democrat there would be no end to the howling and outrage. But, conveniently for them, he is not. Power over everything!<\/p>\n
