I stand support a government establishes Justice, insures domestic Tranquility, provides for the common defence, promotes the general Welfare, and secures the Blessings of Liberty, for all people. If that makes me evil, that speaks more about you then me.

That's your response? Seriously!?

When was the last time a conservative sought to protect the rights of anyone but white, male, heterosexual, wealthy, Christian?

There is nothing more liberal then the US Constitution! There is nothing more liberal then American Values. There is nothing more liberal then the claim the blessing of liberty must apply to everyone or they mean nothing.

I did forget Kirk. He was also a liberal.

Some jewels,

"That what you call "e publista" was not written for the chiefs, the kings, or the warriors, or *the rich* or *the powerful* but for *all* people." This statement is hardly a conservative value.

After reading the preamble;
"These words and the words that follow were not written for just the Yangs (Yankees) but for the Komhs as well. *They must apply to everyone or they mean nothing!*"

The rights to life liberty and pursuit of happiness, and the values of the preamble must apply to all people; regardless of race, gender, sex, sexual orientation, wealth, education, political preference, etc or these rights mean nothing. It is liberals who believe this, and it is conservatives who believe the aforementioned rights apply only to white, male, heterosexual, wealthy, Christians.

Furthermore, Roddenberry was a big time liberal. There's no way he'd have made his hero a conservative.

In the real world

A embryo is not a person, and the percentage of people who are pro-choice vs pro-life has really changed in one direction of another. Polls of abortion are generally around the same levels there were for the past 30 years. Further, if the GOP doesn't allow individuals in their ranks who support sovereignty of women how can the GOP claim to support diversity of thought.

Second, GOProud still supports Gay Marriage, worked with the Log Cabin Republicans to overturn DADT and were drummed out of CPAC. They weren't allowed to speak there. CPAC has that right but it pretty much shows that among Conservatives there diversity on gay rights isn't welcome.

Third, Sigh. You have no idea what those e-mails were about. There was nothing in the e-mails lending to a conspiracy. In 2011 97% of scientists working in academia, government, and industry agreed that global temperatures were raising, 84% attributed this to humans. If the opposite is true why aren't their scientists queuing up in front of Fox News giving their story about their intellectual suppression. I mean really, you expect people to believe that Global Warming is a conspiracy involving thousands of scientists, universities, researchers, and educators who are all remaining silent about this intellectual suppression. Further, Oil companies that stand to make even more money if Global Warming is a giant sham, for whatever reason aren't funding their own research demonstrating the so called sham of Global Warming and bringing these statistics to the public in some attempt to reveal this fraud. No scientific study has ever suggested that global temperatures aren't raising and that such temperatures rises are not connected to C02. Rather, every study has shown A temperatures are rising and B this raise has a strong correlation to increased C02 admissions.
Further, again if the GOP punishes people who accept the scientific consensus how can they claim to allow for diversity of thought?

Its a really creepy quality of the ultra-conservative. Not only do they seem to "painstakingly analysing weather they're conservative or neocon or liberal or libertarian etc. etc" But the need to twist good shows to conform to their bias is really creepy. Star Trek a conservative show? Battlestar Galactica a conservative show? That's a lot of twisting.

How in the world could Star Trek make you a conservative?
The Federation is utopian state in which their is no need or want. All people are equal. It's an atheistic society. Scientific advancement is the main purpose of humanity. Picard. Sisko. Janeway. This quote, "With the first link the chain is forged the first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably. Anytime any person freedom is trodden upon we are all damaged."
The principle enemies is DS9 were the Maquis a anti-government political group, the Cardassians a military Junta and the Dominion a religious theocratic political entity.
In fact there is nothing conservative about Star Trek. Nothing. Star Trek is about social justice, freedom for everyone, equality under the law for everyone, caring for those less fortunate, and bettering humanity and scientific understanding. Nothing conservative about any of those ideas.

Right because people who believe women should have control over their bodies, gays should have equal rights, and people who accept scientific consensus are routinely accepted into the Republican party. Also You can't claim you support diversity of thought when you suggest that liberals are evil

I see the Democratic Party in the Borg, who really just want power, not diversity, and who seem to believe that “resistance is futile;”

What precisely is the conservative definition of diversity? Because denying rights to people who aren't white, male, heterosexual, Christian and wealthy doesn't seem really diverse to me.

Your definition of the political spectrum, bares no resemblance to any mechanism used to divide political ideologies. There are hugh differences between gov'ts like theocracies, monarchies, fascist regimes and gov'ts like Soviet Russia, Cuba, and North Korea. These are all be authoritarian regimes but the political philosophies supporting said authoritarianism are completely different.
Further, regardless of that how can a conservative who supposedly supports limited government interference oppose gay rights, abortion, open borders, drug use, pornography? How can they extoll traditional values, or Christian values. Conservatives oppose gay rights, abortion, open borders, drug use etc, because they claim that allowing such things would harm the culture and society. As such the government should act to limit such individual behaviors for the benefit of the whole. Further by suggesting and giving precedence to so-called traditional values or Christian values the state is giving privilege to those individuals who practice such values, at the determinate of people who do not. This is again govt/society/culture influencing and controlling the behavior of the individual.

So left wing ideology according to you is pro-gay, pro-illegal immigrant, pro-diversity, and opposes Christian values, and seeks to gives these group more status then everyone else. Lets accept this absurd definition. The Nazi's opposed homosexuality, supported strict gender roles, opposed all forms of immigration, and created a Nazified protestant church that was the center of culture, see Kinder, Küche, Kirche. The Nazi's also saw to expunge all cultures and viewpoint that were not constant with German High culture.
Essentially, what you have done is created a definition of liberalism, with all of the things you see as negatives and the ascribe anything which is bad as liberalism. On one hand you condemn for its cultural relativism and classlessness (liberalism as lacking morals and attacking tradition, as well as supporting communism which is a classless society) and then turn around and suggest that liberalism is is obsessed with class. Then you turn around and saw that liberalism supports gays over everyone else, are man hating feminists, pro-immigrant, and somehow both atheistic and Islamic and then suggest that Nazism is a liberal value when politically and socially it opposed all of these things.
