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.

@wintermute_oregon @jimbolauski Most conservatives haven't read it either, myself included. Don't be snobbish.

It was required reading in high school. We have to read it. Nothing snobbish about reading the document that defines the laws of our country.

I'm betting casey is a product of modern public schools in a liberal state. Why teach people how our country works when they can indoctrinate them about institutional racism instead.

It is amazing what people think the Constitution says vs. what it actually says.

A good example is the liberal's skree about defense spending. It is one of the few specific spending items in the constitution.

@wintermute_oregon I was homeschooled, and read programming books instead. 🤷🏾‍♂️

If most people haven't read something, criticizing them for not reading that thing is snobbish. I don't care if it's a document that defines the laws of our country.

They can’t have an educated opinion on something they’ve never read.

@wintermute_oregon Now that's a completely different statement altogether.

If you haven't read it don't comment about what is and is not in it.

It's not snobbish to call people out when they are speaking from ignorance.
