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.

the people in this case are a threat to national security

Uh. No. They weren't. They were spoon-fed a plot that was fake from the very start. Without the FBI's involvement, they never would have done anything of the sort. It's not entrapment, because there's no evidence that they were coerced into committing crimes, but there's also no evidence that they would have even made a half-assed attempt in the absence of the FBI's plot.

There are enough real threats without going around concocting them in order to justify the GWOT.
