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.

Look up the Establishment Clause. Then get back to me.

I have. I also cited you an explanation of the legal aspects of it. I suggest you read them to become more educated on the topic.

The federal government of the United States and, by later extension, the governments of all U.S. states and U.S. territories, are prohibited from establishing or sponsoring religion

And? Nobody is establishing a religion

[–] Pratai 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So… like a typical conservative- you’re just going to skip over the part that applies, and argue against the one that doesn’t?

We’re done here kid. I’m not wasting my time with you anymore, so I’m going to block you now. Based on your comment history- I’m not going to be missing any quality content from you in doing so.

You have yet to say which part you think applies nor refuted the cites I have you. You ignore the case law or weren’t even aware if the case law.

HAH!

Dude you lost this argument the moment it started:

The Establishment Clause is a limitation placed upon the United States Congress preventing it from passing legislation establishing an official religion, and by interpretation making it illegal for the government to promote theocracy or promote a specific religion with taxes.

The Free Exercise Clause prohibits the government from preventing the free exercise of religion.

While the Establishment Clause does prohibit Congress from preferring one religion over another, it does not prohibit the government's involvement with religion to make accommodations for religious observances and practices in order to achieve the purposes of the Free Exercise Clause.

Just stop man. You’re embarrassing yourself.

Who are you replying to as it has nothing to do with what I said?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My god you’re embarrassing! It’s almost adorable!

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think you are replying to the wrong person.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I see why the other person blocked you. You’re clearly a troll.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Please do not name call. It's part of rule 1. Consider this a warning.

For the record, where was their warning when they said the other person “looked silly?” or are we showing a bias?

EDIT: Yeah. I thought as much.
