We have to agree where we ARE before we stand a chance to agree about what we do from here.

We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.
-
Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

~~Yeah. Definitely don't need to take an responsibility for your actions. You can be both wrong and lied to. It's not like there wasn't 4 years of this already and a very large group of people telling you what was going to happen if you repeated your past mistakes.~~
~~But no. Keep on blaming others for your fuck ups. No one is perfect. No one can blame you for this mess.~~
~~Fuck you.~~
Sorry, maybe that was too uncivil. Let me rephrase.
Conservatives are the neighborhood kid that keeps showing up to the park when the rest of us kids are playing soccer. We let the conservative play because we are trying to be inclusive, but this is the third time you've kicked the ball over the fence, and every time we go get it, you swear you'll play right, but then do it again. We don't want you on the playground any more. You aren't welcome to play. We don't care if you felt like you were lied to. You've been told how to behave, and you have chosen not to, time and time again. The rest of us aren't looking to take your hand in friendship and welcome you back. You've run out of second chances. Now, we just want you to sit at home and try not to mess anything else up. No one wants to be your friend.
I think the point is really to give amnesty and try to move on. This idea breaks down and apart the team mentality. It allows people to unite. But by all means keep antagonizing people and see how they dig in their heels.
How many times do I forgive the person who keeps kicking me in the face?
Just once more, bro, trust me bro I'll do right this time bro, c'mon, just once more. I'm kinda tired of always having to be the bigger person for this. Let's let the right be the bigger person for once.
That’s how we got the Nazis to stop the first time around: we sat down with them over a cup of tea and expressed our unity with them.
Oh no, wait, that’s not how we defeated Fascism, at all.
