Wars are Constitutional.

The federal war on drugs would be un-Constitutional.

It's not clear if surveillance is un-Constitutional and I don't know how many conservatives are actually for wide spread government surveillance. Being pro-police certainly isn't un-Constitutional.

No. Most conservatives don't want to violate the first amendment. Most don't want laws against flag burning, they just don't like those who do it.

In response to your claim that these undeclared,unconstitutional wars are just, constitution article 2 section 2:

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

Proof that the patriot act and police searches of people's cars/DUI checkpoints are unconstitutional I present to you the Fourth amendment:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized

Police civil asset forfeiture is unconstitutional, Fifth amendment:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation

In response to just about anything the federal government does, Tenth amendment:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The idea that conservatives are in power at any level of society needs to be challenged:

1. MSM? Nope. Run by Liberals.

2. Hackademia? Nope. Conservatives are run off campus. Liberals own it all at every level.

3. Harveywood? Nope. Conservatives are blacklisted.

4. Federal bureaucracy. Nope. Populated by untouchable Strzok-like Democrat partisans.

5. DC leadership. Nope. An alliance of Liberals and establishment Republicans run Washington.

Conservatives are actually the revolutionaries today. They are on the outside. They are the ones trying to make changes while entrenched Liberals try to "conserve" their hold on power.

The real reason you don't see much anti-Liberal humor is that PC speech codes silence it. PC Liberalism is operating very much like Red-scare McCarthyism and blacklisting operated back in the 1950s. Liberals keep telling us the conservatives want to drag the US back to the 1950s, while they are actually the ones doing it.

DiscoGravy, I'm beginning to think your brain is made out of mashed potatoes.

I don't see where undeclared wars are un-Constitutional. It's also not clear that conservatives support undeclared wars. Where's your evidence for that?

I think most conservatives HATE the patriot act. You are definitely showing that the Feds do many things that are un-Constitutional, and that many of those things are done under Republican leadership, but you then have to make the case that conservatives WANT those things to happen.

And if you want to say that voting Republican and being a conservative are the same thing, well, the election of Trump just proved that wrong, because Trump's election was a repudiation of the entire Republican party's normal mode of operation.

HINT: You should have said that most conservatives support Soc Sec and Medicare, thinking that they "put money in, so they deserve to get money out". I would not have pushed back against that.

Conservatives are odd. They have some kind of Stockholm syndrome. They are pro-second amendment just in case the government becomes tyrannical. But yet, they are pro-police when they are tyrannical. They are for small government, but are pro-war. They claim to be pro-free market, but they want the government to police the market. They claim to be against abortion, but they don't object to the killing of innocent children in the middle east by way of the US war machine.

Leftist are also odd. They believe the police hunt minorities, but yet they believe only the police should have guns. Leftist claim to be pro-choice, except when it comes to my money, trade and what I do with my labor. They claim Trump is literally Hitler, but they only want the government to have guns. They want people to be tolerant and accepting, except when a person is a traditionalist/isn't progressive enough. They claim to be anti-fascist, but they want to police our speech and thoughts. Also, all the things Obama was doing over the last eight years of his administration they are just now claiming to be against it when Trump does it.
