Why Conservatives Will Not Take Responsibility? by Jacob G. Hornberger

One of the conservative movements favorite mantras is "With Freedom Comes Responsibility."

Given such, a question naturally arises: Why conservatives will not take responsibility for their actions and beliefs??

Consider the current brouhaha over the Central American citizens who are trying to enter the United States to seek refugee status. They are fleeing their countries in an attempt to save their lives from violence and tyranny.

Conservatives object to that. They feel that those people should be forcibly returned to their countries of origin even if it means death for them.

But here is the thing: The violence and tyranny is in large part due to the United States drug war and to United States foreign intervention in that part of the world, both of which conservatives have long supported and still support.

No one can deny that the drug war has ravaged and destroyed Mexico and Central America with drug gangs, drug cartels, massive violence, and official corruption.

Also, no one can deny that United States interventionism in Latin America has produced brutal rightwing tyrannical regimes with death squads that have resulted in violent civil wars and insurgencies.

Have any conservatives taken responsibility for these two programs???

I do not know of one who has.

Moreover, the vast majority of conservatives continue to support the drug war and foreign interventionism even while decrying the massive exodus of people such programs are producing.

What is up with that??

The conservative (and liberal) war on immigrants has produced a severe shortage of workers in various American industries, causing massive financial losses to the owners.

Perfectly good farm crops are rotting in the fields owing to an insufficient number of people available and willing to harvest them. The same phenomenon is taking place in the crabbing industry in the Northeast.

Have any conservatives taken responsibility by volunteering to help these farmers, crabbing companies, and other companies that are losing money resulting from their war on immigrants??

I do not know of one who has.

They just watch those crops rotting in the fields and crabbing companies go bankrupt without raising a finger to give them a hand.

What is up with that??

United States interventionism in the Middle East and Afghanistan, which conservatives wholeheartedly endorsed and supported and continue to do so, has produced a massive refugee crisis in Europe.

Have any conservatives taken personal responsibility for the chaos and crises their invasions and occupations ended up producing in Europe??

I do not know of one conservative who has.

They just continue insisting that the refugees be forcibly returned to their countries of origin to face the almost-certain prospect of death from United States bombs or from the internal violence that their policy of interventionism has produced.

What is up with that??

Several years ago, a pastor in Arizona named Steven Anderson was brutally beaten and tasered by United States immigration goons after he refused to answer their questions at a domestic highway checkpoint.

Have any conservatives taken responsibility for the injuries suffered by Mr. Anderson in what is part of the immigration police state that has been imposed in the American Southwest as part of the war on immigrants??

I do not know of one conservative who has.

What is up with that??

Last year, ten undocumented immigrants died in the back of a tractor-trailer while being smuggled into the United States to avoid the system of United States immigration controls that conservatives (and liberals) have foisted upon our nation.

Have any conservatives taken responsibility for the deaths of these ten people??

I do not know of one conservative who has.

What is up with that??

Recently, a United States Customs and Border Patrol agent was charged with murdering four women in Laredo, Texas, as part of the immigration police state that that the United States government has imposed in the American Southwest.

Have any conservatives taken responsibility for the deaths of these four innocent women??

I do not know of one conservative who has. What is up with that??

The next time you hear a conservative exclaim, "With Freedom Comes Responsibility," respond: "Really?? When are you conservatives going to start practicing what you are preaching?"
