Conservatives are gun-toting rednecks.

Not trying to offend anyone or saying this is true. Just pointing out that the stereotypes have clashed and unfortunately melded together here.

Is a stereotype a stereotype if it is by and large true?

"All" is a gross exaggeration, considering that around 3/4 of Americans claim to be Christian.

However, in those statements, if you replace "All" with "Most fundamental evangelical," then you are getting much, much closer to the truth.
