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.

What I like is they always try to lump suicide in with murders.

I don’t think suicide should be illegal. People should be able to decide when to leave this world. I am in no way encouraging it but freedom means deciding how you live.

I am concerned with the murder rate which is mainly in democrat cities.

Do you have any evidence to support this?

Look at the top ten cities for murder. Can you name the republican city ?

You should support your claim, but I'll entertain to you:

https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/murder-map-deadliest-u-s-cities/53/

City Murder Rate per 100,000 Residents
St. Louis, Missouri 64.54
Baltimore, Maryland 58.27
Birmingham, Alabama 50.62
Detroit, Michigan 41.45
Dayton, Ohio 34.18
Baton Rouge, Louisiana 31.72
New Orleans, Louisiana 30.67
Kansas City, Missouri 29.88
Memphis, Tennessee 29.21
Cleveland, Ohio 24.09

Dayton, OH is definitely Republican. Hella glad I moved away from that place. Otherwise, I have no idea. Being in the heart of Tennessee, Memphis is probably Republican?

In any case, most of those cities are in Republican states.

Those are all democrat cities. They’re run by democrats.

Okay, sure. I'll concede the point. They're cities run by Democrats. So what? You're concerned about these high murder rates? How? What concerns you about them?

That they’ll decide to leave the democrat cities and bring that crap to my town.

It also increases my taxes as I have to pay for state troopers to go into Portland to clean up the mess.
