So I hear the word libtard thrown around a lot in this forum. But I would like to address the other side of the coin, the conservatard. Let's compare and contrast the two
The libtard.... is a libtard hates Christianity or anything that resembles Christianity. He views anyone who expresses Christian beliefs or and here's to a strict code of biblical principles as a bigot. Anyone who openly disagrees with his lifestyle is accused of hate speech. He believes he should have his rights to free speech and free expression but the Christians should not.

a libtard hates Christianity or anything that resembles Christianity. Generally speaking, yes. Liberalism is often about liberation from Christianity. Liberals, then, want liberation from Christianity and it's "archaic" and "outdated" concepts.
There is, though, a "branch" of liberals who claim to be Christian. In my view, though, their "Christianity" is mainly limited to Scripture that addresses poverty, the poor, and how rich people are thieves that deserve to go to hell(unless we're talking about George Soros or Mark Zuckerberg).
While "Christian" liberals embrace passages of Scripture that discuss poverty/poor/wealth, they disregard as out-dated/misinterpreted(for the last 2,000 years) Scripture that refers to such things as the value/worth of the unborn and the warnings against practicing alternative lifestyles.
He views anyone who expresses Christian beliefs or and here's to a strict code of biblical principles as a bigot. If one doesn't completely embrace both the LBGTQRSTUVWXYZ lifestyle and community with open arms, yes, s/he's a bigot by the Liberal's standards.
Anyone who openly disagrees with his lifestyle is accused of hate speech. He believes he should have his rights to free speech and free expression but the Christians should not. Agreed. Don't forget the liberal threats to totally destroy the person who is a bigot. That may mean murder, arson, suing the "bigot" for all s/he's got, etc. Conservatives are also forced to go to tolerance training to accept lifestyles that are contrary to his/her beliefs.
The conservatard....The conservatard believes that his way of life and his moral or even political views are the only ones that should ever be validated or even acknowledged. Anyone who disagrees with his belief system is a threat. Anyone who disagrees with him on anything biblical or even the interpretation of biblical principles and biblical Doctrine is a heretic and a blasphemer. He also believes that only Christians are supposed to have any rights in this country and due to his self-absorption cannot comprehend the fact that people have free will and not everyone is going to believe as he does.
This is why I identify myself as a Centrist. Sometimes both sides have valid points. Not everything is black and white and not everything is etched in stone

Anyone who disagrees with his belief system is a threat. I believe in the Bible. I believe actions and activities that are contrary to Biblical teachings - also known as sin - are a threat to society. Likewise, those activities are a threat to the individual's eternal soul. I do not subscribe to the bologna that, while no sin is good, that all sins are equally bad. I am, therefore, more concerned about some sins more than others.
Anyone who disagrees with him on anything biblical or even the interpretation of biblical principles and biblical Doctrine is a heretic and a blasphemer. No. A "Christian" Liberal can have a different interpretation of Scripture without me going that extreme. If everyone who disagrees with me was a heretic, I'd have to classify many Conservatives, who aren't all on the same page when it comes to interpretation of Scripture either, as heretics as well.
Consider as examples: communion theology, calvinism vs arminianism, infant vs adult baptism theology, tithing theology. I don't typically view those who challenge me on these issues as heretics or blasphemers.
On the other hand, those who reject the trinity or Jesus' death as justification for sin would fall closer to heretical. Those who are for liberation from Christianity and the teachings of Scripture take this position and are pretty much self-proclaimed and proud heretics of Christianity. I wouldn't, then, have to assert that they are heretics. They gladly wear the badge on their sleeve.
Generally speaking, though, the words "heretic" and "blasphemer" don't enter my mind when I'm considering other people's opinions/positions on issues. More often, I think of a person as a lost soul who needs someone compassionate to show him/her the way to Jesus Christ.
He also believes that only Christians are supposed to have any rights in this country and due to his self-absorption cannot comprehend the fact that people have free will and not everyone is going to believe as he does. As a Conservative, I object to people being forced to participate in activities that are clearly viewed as sin/evil/wrong according to their faith. My view is neither exclusive to myself nor to those who profess Christianity.
If I want ham, I wouldn't demand a Jewish meat-locker to process a pig. If I wanted alcohol for a party, I wouldn't demand a Muslim owned business to provide me with beverages. If I want to celebrate Christmas or a Birthday, I'm not going to try to force a Jehovah's Witnesses owned business to provide me with celebration material. If a printing company is agnostic/atheist and doesn't want to print a John 3:16 banner for me, I'm not going to demand it to do so.
I don't think a Jew, a Christian, or a Muslim should be forced to bake a cake or do photography for a gay/lesbian wedding.
What I find interesting is that Liberals want liberation to the degree that they want Christianity restricted from practice outside of the Christian's home. This means they want Christians to leave their faith at home.
Such liberation should not happen or even be a consideration for any Christian. If we do that, we aren't practicing our faith. We live our faith 24/7, not just when we're at home.
