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.

Considering it’s documented in history. Yes.

It was a show of unity to respect the dead confederate soldiers but push the leadership out. That’s what happened.

That’s funny you think things like that are “documented”. The South being pretty unhappy with the outcome of the war is “documented” too btw. So why would they still be flying it in 2015? Why honor vets killed in a treasonous rebellion 160 years ago and not say, WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Korea, Iraq or Afghanistan? How about a POW MIA flag?

Because you apparently believe something different and asserted it to me. I didn't understand the logic of what you said though so I was attempting to discuss it.

As I said I don’t fly the battle flag and I don’t get why red states fly a democrat flag other than tradition. The confederacy was a failed attempt by the democrats to keep slavery and form a new country. I think everyone needs to be reminded what the democrats did and their flag shouldn’t be celebrated.
