Hypocrisy, like many other weapons is what makes the conservative movement great. All you have to do is agree with us on one or two unimportant social issues and you are an advertised member of the group, but when a critic points to some negative habit or characteristic in the party (e.g. polygamy, bigamy, racism, bigotism, fascism, greed, etc.) we suggest it's the red headed step-child of the group (Mormons, militias, token black guy, tea party, Donald Trump, etc.). They're all welcome because we can throw them under the bus and most of the time they throw themselves under the bus. Our mascot is a martyr.
Look at the Tea Party. How could a group of old white guys with enough discretionary time to whine about taxes have a slogan "No taxation without representation"? What more representation do we want? For a while I thought maybe the emotionally disturbed and the learning disabled were not properly featured, but we got both with Bush Jr. so we're all happy now. My point is that this contradiction doesn't bother us. We use it to distract you on the one hand from the real subject. Secondly it puts you at ease because we look foolish and non-threatening. And lastly, your reaction makes you look like an elite snob to everybody including yourself (guilt is a festering thing).
If you destroy us it will only make us stronger.
