1. Conservatives opposed the Founding Fathers, the American Revolution and a lot of other righteous stuff as well.
Today, progressives oppose "the Founding Fathers, the American Revolution and a lot of other righteous stuff as well."
2. The United States is not a Christian nation, and the Bible is not the cornerstone of our law.
Don’t take my word for it. Let these Founding Fathers speak for themselves:
John Adams
Thomas Jefferson
James Madison
George Washington
Thank the Creator, whom each one of "these Founding Fathers" trusted in and appealed to while "founding" this great nation...
...that He hates religion, too.
As far as the Bible is concerned...
..."these Founding Fathers" were morally and philosophically schooled extensively in the words of the Bible - the book had a huge affect in each one's political thought. Jefferson, late in his life in fact, in answer to lifelong questioning about his own religious beliefs, created The Jefferson Bible, which was basically the New Testament word-for-word, except that every mention of a miracle performed by the Nazarene was omitted - Jefferson believed in God, but not the divinity of Yahshua.
To even insinuate that the God and the Bible had no practical influencing affect on the political philosophies of the great majority of the "Founding Fathers" as this nation's political framing was forged is to deliberately practice disingenuousness in the extreme; which is no doubt why the author's 4-man list of "Founding Fathers" is so unrepresentatively censored and short.
And, of course, why he must erroneously use the framers command for absolute government neutrality on the issue of religious freedom (Congress shall make no law...)...
...to disingenuously shield his progressive political stance of the government need to absolutely make laws to regulate religious freedom.
3. Long before the United States even existed, it was drawing "problem" immigrants.
Let's see:
"anti-government radicals" are good, like "the Founding Fathers" in the author's example #1, when it fits the author's political agenda...
...but "anti-government radicals" are bad when they go against the author's anti-religion agenda, like the "problem immigrants" "Pilgrims".
No wonder this is just another King0 c&p.
4. Those Pilgrims were commies... and it saved their lives.
This is probably the most hypocritically ironic one of the bunch...
...see my The Fall of Communism in Virginia
Too bad the disingenuous author lies about how devastating socialism's affect was on the individual well-being among some of America's first European settlers...
...such a devastating effect that if the colony wouldn't have intentionally turned to a more capitalistic approach, it would've never survived at all.
5. One of the Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, hated Thanksgiving.
Any objective observer of Jefferson almost immediately has to note what a self-contradictory mind he possessed on a host of issues; objectively, that's not a negative or positive observation - it's just plain fact.
The subjective author can disingenuously choose to employ his "hated Thanksgiving" example, but it looses all his hot air when compared to another piece of reality:
The State Becomes the Church: Jefferson and Madison
It is no exaggeration to say that on Sundays in Washington during the administrations of Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809) and of James Madison (1809-1817) the state became the church. Within a year of his inauguration, Jefferson began attending church services in the House of Representatives. Madison followed Jefferson's example, although unlike Jefferson, who rode on horseback to church in the Capitol, Madison came in a coach and four. Worship services in the House--a practice that continued until after the Civil War--were acceptable to Jefferson because they were nondiscriminatory and voluntary. Preachers of every Protestant denomination appeared. (Catholic priests began officiating in 1826.) As early as January 1806 a female evangelist, Dorothy Ripley, delivered a camp meeting-style exhortation in the House to Jefferson, Vice President Aaron Burr, and a "crowded audience." Throughout his administration Jefferson permitted church services in executive branch buildings. The Gospel was also preached in the Supreme Court chambers.
Jefferson's actions may seem surprising because his attitude toward the relation between religion and government is usually thought to have been embodied in his recommendation that there exist "a wall of separation between church and state." In that statement, Jefferson was apparently declaring his opposition, as Madison had done in introducing the Bill of Rights, to a "national" religion. In attending church services on public property, Jefferson and Madison consciously and deliberately were offering symbolic support to religion as a prop for republican government.

6. The Pledge of Allegiance was written by a socialist.
The author cannot help his native, projective disingenuousness, obviously:
It's not the 1892 socialist version of "The Pledge..." that progressives are against...
...it's the 1954 addition of "under God" that makes them froth at the mouth.
Should it comes as any surprise, then, that as far as conservatives go, their view is probably just the opposite?
7. Roe v. Wade was a bipartisan decision made by a predominantly Republican-appointed Supreme Court.
Too friggin' funny:
To get the tally even close to his disingenuous non-point, the author has to label Blackmun "a conservative who eventually turned liberal", otherwise his politcal leaning make-up of the 9 Justice court would properly read: 5 liberals, 2 moderates, 2 conservatives, which really diminishes his actual propaganda deflection:
"No one can rightly say that this was a leftist court forcing its liberal beliefs on America."
8. Conservative icon Ronald Reagan once signed a bill legalizing abortion.
Besides the fact that there are currently a great number of Republicans who favor legal abortion...
...I imagine there are also a great number of conservatives who favor legal aboriton when the literal "well being of the mother" is at stake.
It's hilarious when progressives need to bash their own allies on issues so important to them.
9. Reagan also raised federal taxes eleven times.
Okay, Ronald Reagan cut tax rates more than any other president...
After those facts...
...nothing more than mostly disingenuous subjectivity ensues.
10. Barry Goldwater was pro-choice, supported gay rights, deeply despised the Religious Right, and - gasp! - liked Hillary Clinton.
Again, too friggin funny: a disingenuous progressive holding up "Mr. Conservative'' as some sort of positive "conservative" political example, whose stances on abortion, gay rights, etc, read here like they were more liberal than LBJ's...
...yet, how many progressives voted for Goldwater and "pro-choice" and "gay rights" and against "the Religious Right" in 1964, compared to those who voted overwhelmingly for the much more "conservative" politician Johnson actually was.
11. The first president to propose national health insurance was a Republican.
12. Those "job-killing" environmental regulations? Republican things.
So, now the author has to disingenuously move his original "Conservative" goalpost to include "Republican", too...
...as if Democrats and Republicans in general aren't principally equal statists, naturally?
13. President Obama was not only born in the United States, his roots run deeper in American history than most conservatives’ - and most other Americans' - do.
Yet, according to "the Founding Fathers" the author initially employed as authorities to favor his own politically disingenuous, partisan agenda...
...Obama - just like Ted Cruz - would be ineligible for the Office of President of the United States of America because neither are natural born citizens for the very same reason.
