"Conservatives on the other hand are natural born bigots."

I don't know what to say. I don't think any party has a predisposition to bigotry. I think we all have a tendency to be bigoted about what we don't like. Liberals can be very bigoted- they just choose to be bigoted against "business people" or "loggers" or people who disagree with them on gay rights (note I do not say they all are, just some are.)

It's also true that we might not recognize our own bigotry. Your statement, for example, is bigoted. It's no more bigoted than the statements we see about liberals on other threads, but it's certainly no better. And I think Dale is trying for better here.
