    Have you ever read Confucius? He’s the very definition of blinkered conservatism. The guy thought the first emperors were morally pure.

      Absolutely, extremely conservative, and it predates Christianity by hundreds of years. But are we going to say they fear and hate everything? I have a sneaking suspicion that the statement was only intended to be referring to White American religious conservatives. The world is a big big place. Broad generalizations apply broadly and can have connotations that aren’t intended.
