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.

In sum, a constitutional republic requires “moral and religious” business leaders like those of the World War II Era. Business leaders motivated by greed will destroy the country and its people.

It's funny, the only president to ever serve three terms and actually win a fourth, the one who presided over the entirety of WW2 save for the last month due to his death, who saw the country out of the great depression, was a Democrat and often called a socialist and a communist by conservatives.

It's almost like conservatives want everything to go to shit so that they can personally profit from the chaos, everyone else be damned. Oh wait, yeah that's exactly it.

FDRs policies did not get the U.S. economy turned around it was the war. The economy did not improve in FDRs first 8 years unemployment was between 15-20% then pearl harbor, the draft, and a huge increase in military spending, happened and unemployment dropped to 5%.
