Are the Duggars true Conservative Christians?

Now, here is the deal.  If they were asked to suffer for righteousness sake, would they do it?

Would they be willing to go to the Black Lives Matter conference and learn about how police force are going against -God's laws- and being rigorous towards minority communities. Lev 25:43

Answer: No.  Probably not.  It would damage their image on screen.

If they knew a friend who wore a headscarf was getting raped daily by someone, would they do something to stand up for her ability to speak for her self.

Answer: No. Probably not. They want to wear modest clothes, because it represents something pure, but they don't want to listen to those who are forced by religion to do so in other countries, so compromising and getting attention are on their mind.

I don't believe the Duggar family had the problems they had in their family because of the conservative biblical beliefs that they liked to follow.  I believe they had the problems in their family because they were ignoring the rest of scripture and its meaning.  They continued to put their self on a pedestal even though they were in error.

In some ways, a true conservative Christian will appear more -libertarian-.  They would be willing to fast several meals in order to help veterans build a home.  They would go and listen to the concerns in minority communities and learn from the different cultures about lifestyles that worked for them in a godly way.

1Co_10:32  Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

Many minority Jews live among us.  Some are believers in messiah and some are not.  It matters not.  We are not to give offence if someone doesn't believe.  EVEN if they are in severe bondage.

I have not seen a lot of understanding about JEWISH life from the Duggar family.  It is more of a show to gain ideas about -forms- of conservative biblical lifestyles.  They have worked with Ray Comfort, who happens to be Jewish, but there are more people out there with a voice too, and they may be ignoring the BIG-PICTURE, due to the reality that being "on screen" causes much pride and arrogance if done even after issues are revealed.  In other words, I don't feel *COMPLETE LOVE TOWARDS GOD* coming from their direction.

There are many different types of conservative biblical belief.  Some men have conservative biblical belief that were sitting in prison for 30+ years.  Some men have conservative biblical belief while they are sitting in the middle of Muslim Extreme environments and about to die for their faith.  Some men are highly educated and have conservative biblical belief (Robby Zacharias for example).  Some men have conservative biblical belief from the time they were persecuted in Europe and passed down from generation to generation (Foxes Book of Martyrs).  Some men have Messianic types of conservative biblical belief.

I support the Duggar family for "choosing life" and being a part of pro-life ministry.  In my opinion, "choose life" groups and political goals are the SAME as "Black Lives Matter" political goals.  BOTH want GOD's Laws to be observed more diligently by WE THE PEOPLE.  However, in both cases there are -extremes- who are radical and violent towards those who do not believe in their goals.  Hence the scripture needs to be studied more efficiently.  The purpose of following God is to "do no violence" ---> "Luk_3:14  And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages."

I would say the style of Duggar Family is Conservative Political Christian.  The goals for their family are more political in nature than biblical willingness to suffer for righteousness.  Its not bad to support the NRA (Jesus said it was necessary to buy a Sword).  Its also not bad to support those in minority communities.
