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.

Save this post and come back to it when it becomes fact. Because we all know it will.

Pick any year within the last two decades and you can pretty easily find an article about republicans pushing for or having a high military budget. That trend is not changing any time soon.
I was referring to the next instance. I get your point.
I know, I was just trying to hammer home my point. Sorry if it came across as aggressive.
