Conservatives support Second Amendment
Letter to the Norman Transcript Editor, Published April 13, 2008
Editor, The Transcript:
Your editorial concerning the passing of the great actor, Charlton Heston, was a very nice tribute, but one line was deeply offensive to me.
You mention that Heston "was a champion of the civil rights movement but he grew more conservative in his old age." That strongly implies that being a champion of civil rights is somehow contradictory of being a political conservative. There are liberals who were KKK recruiters, such as Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, but I don't think for one second that means support for the KKK-style racism is part of liberalism.
I also contend that support for all of the Bill of Rights, including the Second Amendment, is something that identifies any true political conservative.
