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.

I don't think so. I always thought it did a good job of it. I was never meant to be in your face woke crap. It was meant to enforce tolerance.
