If you fear the erosion of our rights, then put the blame where it belongs. 
Not on conservatives, but on the liberalism that has ruined the schools and
resulted in high school graduates that have no understanding of our history,
how we became a country, the Founders, etc.  People who have no understanding
of those things tend to not only allow, but expect the government to do
everything for them.  You want to be scared, check the recent survey of teens
that was in the news a few days ago.  It illustrates what I'm talking about
perfectly.
