It’s not o.k., for as much as conservatives try to be responsible, and American in their own right, in their own way, many liberals will happily take every opportunity to destroy the party based on the immature remarks of a few, it’s not like the liberal party is without fault. It has almost become un-American to be conservative in our nation, at least that is the way liberals make you feel if you appear to have even remotely traditional values, you are antiquated and homophobic, the problem is, that just isn’t true.

It's too bad that the the Conservatives don't have their own cable news network to voice their opinions, or own all the talk radio in the country, or run hundreds of think tanks and thousands of blogs for the Conservatives to express their voices. Oh wait, they do.
For the second part, welcome to being the minority party. Maybe you remember how the left's character was assassinated for 8 years. The attacks from the left are nothing compared to what the right gave out during the Bush years. It's a classic case of being able to dish it out but not being able to take it.

They were "unaware" of the scope of the spending and deficit during the Bush years. If they had "known" they would have been "protesting" just as much as they are now.
/At least I think that is the line I've heard a few times.
