What part of FOX News' stated purpose do you take issue with?
But come off it, you know that statement is designed to attract conservatives to the website.

Ah, here we go. This is why the liberals don't like the Fox statement:
"It is for those opposed to intolerance, excessive government control of our lives, and attempts to monopolize opinion or suppress freedom of thought, expression, and worship."

As for Conservative moral values", you're right. Morality clearly has nothing to do with Conservative values at Fox...witness the sexual harassment perpetrated by Ailes and O'Reilly.

In a sense the Constitution is a contract between the government and the people. Insisting that contract be enforced isn't really conservative just because the contract has been around for a very long time. I don't think of a contract as liberal or conservative, it is just an agreement to which two parties have given consent.
For example, if you didn't make your house payment and the bank came around to collect could you say, "Well, that mortgage contract is 25 years old and I'd appreciate it if you'd stop using 'conservative rhetoric' while trying to collect your money."
I don't think asking that a contract be honored is anything other than contractual rhetoric.
It would be weird to label someone who wanted to enforce a contract as partisan.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101
