> [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > No; conservatives throughout history have done wrong things because _they_ are evil people. I see no reason to care that they think that they are doing the right thing; that’s no consolation to the people being oppressed, exploited or slaughtered. Did it do any good for the blacks who were lynched during Jim Crow that their murderers thought they were in the right? Der Trihs, this post is unhelpful in the extreme and both hurts and stifles whatever debate may be possible. I appreciate that your political feelings are strong - many people’s are - but spouting hatred and such with a broad brush accomplishes nothing. Make a better, more reasoned, argument or avoid Great Debates entirely. No warning issued but further examples will earn them. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/liberal-mind-vs-conservative-mind/670974)._
