I'm sure conservatives supported civil rights, a women's right to vote, etc. Because that's definitely the definition of a conservative...

Women getting the right to vote happened in 1920. Anyone with a set of balls between their legs were opposed to it. Conservatism played no role back then.

Conservatives did support Civil Rights, and yes many did not.

While neither Democrats nor Republicans, liberals nor conservatives, enjoy a completely spotless record on civil rights, conservatives within the Republican Party served historically as defenders of equal opportunity and civil rights. House Republicans such as conservative Hamilton Fish (R-NY) supported federal anti-lynching legislation in 1922, 1937, and 1940, only to have these bills defeated in the Senate by Southern Democrats. In 1934, Oscar De Priest (R-IL), the first black congressman elected in the 20th century and a staunch anti-New Deal conservative, unsuccessfully tried to integrate the House restaurant. In 1947, the Republican-controlled Senate, headed by Robert Taft, refused to seat notorious racist Theodore Bilbo (D-MS) because of intimidation of black voters in the 1946 election.

Conservatism need not be defined by it's support of civil rights. It is implied.

That all men are created equal.

 Conservatives believe in the ability of mankind to build a society that respects rights, defends those rights and is also strong enough to repel the forces that would threaten it.

The 14 amendment was written by Conservatives.

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws

I'm not sure why you guys have such a hard time with this. 

Conservative has not always equaled Republican. Conservatives fight change, they want the status quo.

Look at these liberals protesting! How awful!

And even more liberals here!

Because if there's anything we do know, it's that the group calling everything they don't like Communism are definitely liberals

just because you are an ardent ignorant smart ass, woodpecker, it doesn't mean you ever make any kind of legitimate point. But be proud, be loud, be the bird you need to be.

You really have problems with understanding words. Because I don't think you understand what that means either.

Well tell us what it means then...

So more progressive voted for the Civil Rights Act than conservatives. 

I don't think you thought this out very well.  The status quo was roe vs wade not that long ago, but according to your logic you have to own the "change" in policy?

Considering the advancements in pregnancy prevention, it could be considered progressive under your definition.

You think taking people's rights away is progressive? You really are a conservative.

I'm simply following your logic.  So supporting the 2nd amendment is progressive/liberal?  You're all over the place today.
