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.
Conservatives deserve a candidate that isn't a felon
I could not agree with you more.
Conceptually, a conservative presence in American politics is a good thing. In its current form, well….
Not really, no. The entire philosophy of conservatism is sticking to/going back to the old ways AKA standing in the way of progress. The US has plenty of THAT from the economic elite who want to keep calling the shots without politicians helping them.
Which is why I said in its current form, not so much.
Having a dissenting voice can at times help ensure whether or not you’re on the right track. That’s why I said conceptually it’s good, or at least it can be.
The current form isn't even conservatism, it's just full blown fascism.
True in principle, but not when that dissenting voice drags you further in the wrong direction you were already heading, as is the case in a to party system where both parties are right of center and the one closest to the center is pathologically obsessed with compromise for the sake of compromise and the other one is ideologically opposed to ever compromising.
I still disagree. The concept of an opposition party is good. The concept of a center right to right wing led party having an opposition party to the right and none to the left isn't.
We’re completely in agreement, you just rephrased the point I was making.
Honestly yeah. And being under the retirement age would be nice too. Unfortunately, politicians are not great people.
