People are using Virginia's porn age verification law to flag Bible.com for adult content.

As more and more states pass laws targeting “pornographic material” in books and online, they are repeatedly running up against a problem: The Bible has not just a few passages that could be considered indecent

    I agree those are bad examples.

    Better examples:

    Phillando Castile. All for gun rights until a black man is shot while legally owning a gun. One could run down the list of black people (and children) who have been murdered by the police because they “thought there was a gun”. Guns are legal and they’re quite vocal about supporting the right to bear arms (but only if you look white).

    Jan 6. All for upholding law and order and obeying the police until they don’t get what they want. They lied about the cities in this country being destroyed during the Floyd uprisings as if America was gone.

    All of the anti-trans laws passed are to “protect children” and yet they have not gone after any of the abuse scandals in churches or law enforcement.

    Build the wall. Enforced only against black and brown people at the southern border.

    How about holding the supreme court seat for a year?

    We could continue but I’ll just boil it down with a pithy quote: there are those who the law must protect but does not bind and there are those that the law must bind but not protect. That is the conservative idea. Go read the only moral abortion is my abortion with that statement in mind and it’ll make sense.

      Phillando Castile.

      I haven’t heard that case, can you show some examples of “conservative” outrage?

      And I feel like it’s probably not race related seeing as conservatives were some of the first people to criticize the police in the Brenna Taylor case(a post about her boyfriends trial is still the top post on r/progun). Some conservatives also defended Andrew Coffee IV.

      Jan 6. All for upholding law and order and obeying the police until they don’t get what they want.

      From their perspective(by the way me explaining someone’s perspective doesn’t mean I agree with it at all like most of the people on this site seem to think!!!) their is a coup happening by the elites so they are going in to uphold the law and put in the rightfully elected(again in their mind) president.

      All of the anti-trans laws passed are to “protect children” and yet they have not gone after any of the abuse scandals in churches or law enforcement.

      Can you site any they defended recently?

      Build the wall. Enforced only against black and brown people at the southern border.

      I don’t see how that’s hypocritical.

      How about holding the supreme court seat for a year?

      IIRC not illegal- but against tradition
