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.

Remember, the government defines "hate speech", it's whatever the government doesn't like. It's not what you think hate speech is.
I mean, look at the UK and how they abuse hate speech laws, it's a great example of how the idea of free speech and idea of outlawing hate speech are incompatible.
And McCarthy was about those with security clearance. Allegiance to hostile nations is still something that's looked for.
