You’re way off: conservatives aren’t passive, pedantic, rule following, lukewarm sheep. We actively and forcefully defend our families, our communities, and our nation. I wouldn’t give a teaspoon of warm spit for a “conservative” who sits back and allows his children to have their minds polluted by an activist school board.
Yes, we should be dumping tea. People who think like you do should just stand clear and hope the Brits will leave you alone.
When it came to my children's education, I got fed up with the public school system when my oldest went to the 3rd grade. At that point I pulled them out and set them to private school and later then to charter schools.
People like me have fought for and bled for this nation. We love this nation because we have seen how other nations are failing or have failed their people. We also know that there is no place else to go and this nation is still our best hope. That is why we work within the laws of this nation, because we still see a lot of good in this nation. Therefor I am still at the ballot box level. As a precinct captain, I actively work to get more conservative registered and to the polling stations so that we have a favorable outcome. I have also supported and worked for the three recall elections here in Colorado to remove state legislators who have passed odious gun laws. Again, all of this is within the laws for how my state governs elections.
You may not appreciate the work that myself and thousands of others like me perform. You may even think that we are wasting our time. But at least in my state, we are making changes and taking the political world back.
