Ooh look at the angry conservatives. Come to call names and throw fits. Awww. Cute.

I've found the conservative culture more prone to snowflake tantrums than most. Largely due to their lack of coherent skills at argument. The snowflake labeling seems to be part of the projection in which they now indulge. Frex Pizzagate and then Roy Moore.

Equal rights have nothing to do at all with the label "snowflake". It relates to the meltdowns of extreme liberals who think tantrums are somehow productive.
I'm curious, what rights you might be referring to. What rights are lacking for whom?

If you ask that question you are not paying attention.

@Dick_Martin Translation: "I can't think of anything, but I know there must be some because "Occupy Democrats memes" said so"

@Taijiguy wanna start with equal pay? Or how about the laws being written to exclude people of color from the voting booth? Or insurance paying for viagra but not birth control?

@chicagojcb equal pay? There's already laws covering that which make discrimination based on race, color, creed, age, sex, or sexual orientation illegal. Already in place.
Exclude people of color from voting? Source?
And insurance are private companies, nothing to do with the government.
Technically, nothing you cited is a right. Nothing. Our "rights" are defined by the constitution and bill of rights, and absolutely none of those things are rights.
So, what else ya got?

Facebook liberal culture: Hyperbolizing conservative culture, then getting upset when they get an angry response.

Actually it isn't just conservatives that use the term 'special snowflakes'. Every time any critique is given to the left, sjws throw a tantrum and it's not just a turn off to conservatives but to independents and smarter liberals. And by smarter liberals I mean folks that still embrace liberal issues but recognize that both political persuasions, including the left, have problems.

First rational evaluation I've seen so far.

Thanks @Taijiguy

This is "fake", dump snowflake libatards. I am so sick of seeing that and better than obumer or killary. That's it, that's all they have when they get backed into a corner. I am worried that this country is doomed. It will never recover from. Keyboard jockeys.

Whereas you, on the other hand, feel perfectly justified in your mean names for people who have served their country in ways you never will.

Lmao "fake"

Okay Becky. Whatever you say lmao

The tRump thing has poisoned the entire discourse of this country. Remember, too many snowflakes= a blizzard. Ha.

Conservatives believe that only conservative, straight, white, christian, males have any rights at all. (IMHO)

Hyperbole isn't the solution.

@Taijiguy However watching from the outside it appears that his hyperbole is correct.

@RobAnybody what rights are they trying to take away from anyone? Please cite credible sources.
Im betting you can't.

"Please site a credible source"

So he can sea lion and say "nooo not that one doesn't count!!!!"

@Taijiguy For the umpteenth time then. Historical actions have left a legacy of disenfranchisement. Please cite any source that credibly argues that slavery and segregation did not occur. Or that these wrongs were corrected before living memory. This being the case there are a large number of mostly aging white men (but not entirely) who are opposing change because it will erode the social advantages they enjoy as a result of the legacy of these institutions. This effectively becomes the denial of rights to identifiable portions of the population because that is the only way to maintain the status quo. By definition conservatives want to maintain the status quo whilst progressives want to change it. Neither is inherently correct, but in this case if we want to align with our stated commitment to Enlightenment values (the ones on which both our nations were founded) then we have to take the progressive path. Thus "Conservatives believe that only conservative, straight, white, christian, males have any rights at all." whilst hyperbolic, is essentially correct.

@RobAnybody that was quite eloquently put, but it lacks any substance. We're talking about rights here. Rights are outlined in our constitution and Bill of rights. They are also applied equally to all regardless of color or gender. Nothing you said even remotely related to taking away any rights, or rich old Christians believing those rights only apply to them.

@Taijiguy If you do not know what (IMHO) means, it is (In My Humble Opinion).

@Taijiguy Your constitution can outline them all you like but if in practice they are denied, as systemically they are, to identifiable portions of your citizenry then your nation is failing to live up to its own standards. Constitutions are only pieces of paper with ideas written on them. If people do not enact those ideas then they remain only paper and ink.
