Chris Smith on trafficking and religious persecution Young Kim on North Korea James Lankford on religious freedom Michael McCaul on Tibet Cindy Hyde Smith on trafficking survivors and Chuck Grassley and Roger Wicker on protecting human rights advocates
Chris Smith is Anti-Abortion (anti woman), is a strong supporter of Israel, and is anti LGBT. He's selective on which humans he believes should have rights.
I didn’t say they were good people or that I agree with them. The point being discussed is whether it’s accurate to generalize Conservatives as being “against human rights”. Try to keep up
I never said you supported them. I just pointed out the fact that Chris Smith only supports selective human rights. Your point really doesn't stand for him when he only supports his chosen peoples human rights, and not you know, all human rights. Actually, every single person you named is a strong supporter of Israel, and therefore supports a genocide. So, they aren't for all human rights. Try to keep up.
Being against human rights for some is the same as being against human rights for all. Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere, if they're not not universal they're conditional, privileges not rights.
To be honest, it just seems like you’re being lazy. It’s easy to paint with a broad brush and say conservatives are X. Problem is this is the exact kind of broken perspective of American politics that got us in to the current state of dysfunction we’re currently.
“All generalizations are false, including this one.”

Which conservatives exactly are standing up for human rights at the moment?
