A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

So are me and my life property of the government then? If not, why the fuck does the government have a place in telling me what to do with my life?

Yeah how dare "the government" tell you not to go on a killing spree that targets children or threaten your wife with a gun if she tries to leave.

You can feign all the melodramatic indignation you want but your peers and politicians have shown over and over again how little they actually believe in the "freedom" you claim to value.

The majority of the pro-gun crowd staunchly vote Republican, the party that says you can't smoke pot or can't pay a consenting adult for sex and they can listen on your phone whenever they want.

And of course like every government, they also say you can't build your own home with your own hands, can't own land mines and hand grenades, can't drive or fly without a license, can't run a kitchen from a public toilet and a million other rules that the pro-gun crowd doesn't object to because they know there are massive public safety risks without those regulations.

But the moment someone suggests adding semi-automatic guns to that list, the pro-gun beat their chest and pretend they rule themselves as free and independent men who don't need no society.

And the moment a Republican in a gun-happy, right-wing state suggests banning gay or interracial marriage (again) or executing women who have abortions, they cheer furiously.

Not of your freedoms came from the barrel or a gun, nor your own hand, nor the people you support.
