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.

I just directly addressed that. So did the person you're referring to, in a reply to me. I wasn't sure what he meant so I asked about it.

See, I added that part as absurdist contrast to the sensational and terrifying news coverage of immigrants.

If you can find any information that demonstrates that "Eric L. Sampson" is in fact not a natural born US Citizen, that would be informative. As it is, it's reasonable to assume that he in fact is and this non-literal reference was totally lost on you. Are you a native English speaker?

If you intentionally tell a a falsehood. It’s a lie.

It’s not my burden of proof. I didn’t make the claim.

so essentially "I'm a complete moron who can't handle discussions. I participate only in bad faith, or I have an iq of about 85". Ok. You don'tt sound remotely Texan, btw, except for your "views". I know texans and you do not seem like a Texan. You're very generic. Getting indicted soon?
