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.
-
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.

Nope, so I'd campaigning heavily for the "no genocide" party.
Your reply wasn't really the "gotcha" you'd hoped it was.
Got it. You're just a dishonest hypocrite then.
Nope, you're just not not following, either because you're deliberately choosing not to or because thinking upsets you so you go without.
In democratic countries, rights are granted and revoked at the will of society, through the process of electing representatives. This system has no inmate morality and relies on the majority of public being good people capable of making informed decisions.
It's why as hard as they tried, conservative bigots couldn't hold on to things like slavery, segregation, disenfranchising women, casual sexual assault in the workplace, criminalising homosexuality and all the other horrifically immoral shit the right-wing has been on the wrong side of for centuries.
Which is also why conservatives routinely undermine democracy with things like gerrymandering, obstruction and astro-turfing to ensure its their will that is represented, not the public's.
So if you think you can take away my right of freedom of speech, go right ahead but we both know you'll struggle to find more than a handful of fascists to support it.
If by some miracle you did, sure, I'll abide by it. It's what society decided and I'm not going to become a domestic terrorist over it.
How many people in the pro-gun crowd say the same?
So then nothing should be wrong with popular genocide then, since rights are determined solely by vote, no?
It's okay. Not everyone can be smart. You don't need to keep trying. I'm sure that you have some kind of redeeming features, just not your mind or political opinions.
As you perpetually remind the world when you speak
"I know you are but what am I" is literally the first comeback a child learns.
I guess you'll be able to understand it then
"Nuh uh"
