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.

While there are established limits to free speech, the Schenck v US rulling was narrow in scope and doesn't apply to a little girl drawling a picture in school. If you're going to cite case law at least find applicable cases and not just pick the 1st one in your search without reading the ruling.

There are many more applicable rulings, mostly to do with how much a school can limit a student's speech, even those do not cover everything, which is what the Supreme Court is for. Why do liberals constantly forget this? It's almost like they don't know constitutional law.
