Welcome to Conservative Political Forum.

Good morning all.  I found this place while searching for a new conservative forum to post on.

After spending some time reading various threads here, I thought I'd sign up and participate.

Will I always have to fill out the verification questions?  If so, I may not be here long.

Hello fellow conservatives!  I felt the need for a forum in which to vent and share my thoughts.  This looked like a good one.  I'm excited to get started.

I'm a retired guy.  I have numerous hobbies, including guitar, Zumba, and my English Bulldogs.  I've been married since before God took Adam's rib, or at least it seems that way.  I have rather definite and strongly held opinions.  I'm outspoken and direct.  I won't engage in any name calling or personal attacks on this board, but if you feel your ears burning while reading my comments, I'm probably talking about you.  :ttoung:

My real political interest is in kicking the communists, totalitarian socialists, and atheists out of our government.  And that includes kicking them out of our school systems.

I look forward to participating with you all.

I'm a dad and a Marine infantry combat vet, wounded in action, and I'm just fed up with what I perceive as the decline and fall of America. I'm fed up with all these spoiled brats bitching about how tough it is and blaming everybody but themselves (any convenient target will do, rich people, business leaders, oil companies etc) for their own laziness and failures to achieve. 

I'm disgusted with the attempts of the (apparently) homosexual-dominated entertainment industry to shove their warped view of morality down our throats at every opportunity. (The latest outrage is NBC's new primetime sitcom, The New Normal.

I see this wonderful country that I fought for, that my family has fought for since Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, becoming weak and effete. So I'm here to vent I guess.

I agree with everything you said, though I hadn't heard of the (new normal?) as of yet, sounds like more lib BS attempting to justify their perversions on us.

Hmm..Don't think the young kids even know about the battles of Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg and  Spotsylvania. (also know as the Wilderness Campaign)  Inless there from Virginia or the South.   Are you a Southern Gentleman?

Northern by birth, Southern by the Grace of God. I've lived in the South most of my adult life. My G.G.G. Grandfather was with the 27th Connecticut, spent 12 hours pinned down on the field beneath Mayre's Heights at Fredericksburg and was later captured at Chancellorsville by Jackson's "Foot Cavalry."  :smile:

Thank you, and yes it is. About a couple of dudes who are "married" to each other and hire a woman to have a baby for them. It's ratings may serve as a measure of our decay.

I told some friends about this forum so there might be some more newbs. We're

I'm upset and will be up all night waiting for the big SC decision in about 11 hours.

 Welcome, skuttlebutt! Learning things the hard way is, as Solar points out, the ONLY way to REALLY learn. Who was it who said, "If when you're young you're not a liberal, you have no heart. If when you're older you're not a conservative, you have no brain." Something like that...

Anyway, WELCOME!  :tounge: :tounge:

Good day fellow conservatives.

New here, figured I would introduce myself.

From central Wisconsin 25 year old male, I'm a paramedic but am currently working at a local gun shop due to lack of jobs in the area. Attending the local technical college as time permits for this and that (mainly fire fighting related courses).

I just figured it would be nice to get to talk to other like minded people other than the folks that come into the shop.

God Bless!

Good evening all.  I am brand new here, but thought it proper to introduce myself so no one thinks I am some lurker.
I am a Christian, conservative, homeschooling, mother of soon-to-be four kids.  I am very interested in politics, I am here to learn even more and gain more perspective.  Most of the forums that I posted to in the past were not very tolerant of conservative ideas.  I am happy to have found a place where I can be conservative and not be called all the usual names.

Welcome Kari. You will find a lot of great links, information, and opinions here. Liberals are allowed to voice their opinions, which I like.

I will say, that some of the language can get into the R- rated territory. What can I say? We tend to be pretty passionate with our beliefs. I hope you hang around, share your opinions, and enjoy the site.

I'm not the site owner, just a guy that has come to like it around here. It's a decent bunch of people.

Nice having one more lady in house (on the boards) As you will see this is a adult board.  It is a conservative board but they allow other people in or it would be very boring.  Sounds like you have been around the net some.  So jump right in and enjoy yourself young lady.  I will be nice knowing what more woman think and there ideas.  Welcome   


If you know like minded ladies please pass the site address on.

Thank you both.   I expected that liberals would be welcome too, and as for language, well I am a grown up, if something offends, I will probably just hit the back button. 
I will certainly jump in here once I get the lay of the land a bit.  Nice to see a few other women here as well.

Welcome Kari, glad you found us.
I second what Kramarat said, we do tend be a passionate group, especially as of late, since the left claims that traditional marriage is somehow hateful.
Can you even begin to wrap your head around that BS?

It's hard not to cuss, when someone is telling you that if you aren't good with same gender sex, you automatically are a hater. :mad:

I sometimes forget just how mixed up they can be.

I have had trouble wrapping my head around the whole, you're a hating homophobic jerk because you don't agree with me, but I am NOT a bigot for saying hostile things to you, crap.  :blink:

I don't hate anyone, but I do believe in traditional marriage. I don't think any church should have to perform ceramonies (a covenant ceramony, no less) in a situation that they feel is wrong.  By using the word marriage in the legal jargon though, they could, eventuality, sue if a church will not perform them.  IMO.

This entire issue would go away, if they would take the word "marriage" off the table. And stop demanding a certain behavior from everyone else. I don't care what gays do in the bedroom, I don't want to know about it, and I don't want to talk about it. They can do what they want. I won't try to force them to change, like they are attempting to do to us. :mad:

The LGBT community, comprises about 2% of the US population. My guess, is that within that group, the people that want to get married, comprise about 10%, (tops), of the 2%. It's unfathomable that they would expect everyone else to accept a complete redefinition of the word "marriage", to accomadate a few thousand. :blink:

Hey Hack,

I've been a conservative since zygote.  When I was born and started crying, the nurse tried to put a pacifier in my mouth, and I promptly pointed out she was trying to stifle my First Amendment rights.

Hey taxed,

I'm sure I have thoroughly annoyed y'all mods with my posts, and I apologize. Fogot my netiquette, but I have actually been quite an active forum member at various times in my life, and may be interested in becoming one here. I was dead serious about campaigning for Dole on the chalkboard during show and tell and  I was born in '90. That was a nice marginalizing anecdote. I frankly don't care much about my blog, just want people to talk to. seems like it might be better just to have a small blog and post on the forum.  Point of the blog is to reach people who's vote might be in the air. doubt they run rampant around these parts

My wife loves Savage, me' I can only take so much of his anger and have to turn it off.

Bruce, sadly I have to tell you, by law, we can't let anyone post that is under 18, so if you want to see if 16 was possible a typo and edit it accordingly? :rolleyes:

Otherwise you'll need one of your parents to sign you up.

Well Good morning everyone,

I've been posting here a few days and am just now discovering this site.  Took the time to read about all of you and feel like i will be welcome here.   As a personal rule, i try to watch my language and respect others that try but i also know that everyone is human.  Things like personal attacks and namecalling or knowing the id of a forum member and outing them are unacceptable to me. 
I am a recently retired chemical technician having worked at Bayer Co. lastly.  Have enjoyed substituting school after that until i was diagnosed with Stage 1 lung cancer. I am happy to say that I was diagnosed, treated and have recovered in less than 6 mths.  No chemo, no radiation, just periodic checks to make sure that the cancer is gone. 
Some of you talk like you are on up in years.  Well, we don't get older, just better.  I have learned to enjoy myself in whatever I do.
My husband is a Industrial PLC Tech at 3-m.  He is a 20 yr. vet of the VN theatre, having the rank of E7 upon discharge from the AF.   He was dog trainer/handler
We have four children and 7 grands and 3 great grands.
My hobbies are singing and playing piano and or organ.  i've been pianist for several churches but most recently enjoy getting together with friends and just [playing  for the love of it.  Husband learned to play a bass guitar so he could go with us when we do an event.  Also have two grandsons that have gradually fell into playing instruments with us.
We love to camp and fish and we are both natives of NC where we spend all of our extra time.  Our jobs have held us in SC but we've managed to have a good life here and made a few friends as time passed.
Looking foward to conversations with all of you and it is not my intent to offend anybody but i have to disagree with the liberal, looney toon agenda.  I can't believe that we have cabinet members in congress making decisions for us along liberal agendas.

Post by: Pariah on November 02, 2012, 10:20:21 PM
Greetings, everyone!
Call me Pariah, because at least where I live in my own little corner of Georgia, that's what I am. I come to this forum... seeking help I guess.

You see, the term Pariah fits me because that's what I am. I'm an Asian-American living in this county, and the only one to boot. I deal with a lot of racism, but that's neither here nor there, and that's not what I need help with.

I'm 24 years old, with a wife and 2 kids. I have a pretty good job, though it could always be better...

I also voted for Obama in 2008.
I'm not making that mistake again.

You see, back then I was still naive to exactly how the world works. I suffered through the Bush era along with a lot of people - that's a lie, really. Bush honestly did the best he could with what he had in hindsight, but at the time I was angry and bitter. To this day I believe that Afghanistan was the right decision but still firmly believe that Iraq was just him finishing Daddy's war. However, the Patriot Act and No Child Left Behind Act both enrage me to no end, and I still don't see how these even exist.

Back in 2008, I voted for Obama because he seemed so flippin' awesome it was awe inspiring. I believed that everything he said was amazing, and held on to every word and speech as if it were solid gold. I hated McCain, and even today I still think he'd have been an awful president (on par with what we got), but I think I could have swallowed it and voted for him if Sarah freaking Palin wasn't on the ticket.

Also I voted for him because he was black and I love spiting the racists around here. I lost 4 tires and got assaulted by 5 huge white dudes for that.

But that's also not my problem (I talk too much). You live, you learn that most politicians are liars, and you go at it again.

It's November 2nd, and I still haven't decided who to vote for. You see, here's my problem (finally):

Problem 1: Economically I'm very conservative and believe that a businessman like Romney is perfect for the job; he knows how business works. That said, I'm rather worried that the tax cuts Romney wants to give to the rich will backfire spectacularly. Instead of using that money to create jobs, they'll instead sit on it and still not create jobs, and we'll still be stuck in the same hole we're in now. So do I vote for him and hope for the best, that people will do the right thing? Or should I keep my cynicism alive and think that rich people are corrupt?

Problem 2: Socially, I'm very liberal. I believe in gay marriage, for example (though I also believe that churches shouldn't be forced to do it if they don't want to); I believe in abortion ONLY IN THE CASE OF RAPE (if you get knocked up, deal with it. It's your fault), but only because our adoption system is so complete and utter trash that it needs to be reworked. That's just two issues that I know I don't agree with Romney (and a lot of people here) on, but it's part of my core values (or maybe lack thereof; the dark corners of the Internet do very nasty things to you).

Problem 3: This is a big one, especially around where I live, and possibly unrelated to the election - I don't hate Islam. As a Christian, it's impossible for me to hate them (being picked on so much around here, I find solace in my family and in God). I'm able to distinguish between Radicals and Moderate Muslims, and many that I've talked to are pretty cool people. There are actually a lot of good values in the Koran, and though I think that Muslims are misguided, I still consider them good people. Except the terrorists.

So to summarize:
Do I go with the person that I know has a better chance of fixing the country, or the one who values civil liberties? Should I let my feelings on Islam affect my vote?

I confused. Please help.

P.S. I came here because conservatives are much less crazy than liberals. More honest answers.

Welcome young man.  I also think we are less crazy.   :lol:

I look at it this way.   If I own a business and it was in trouble like we are now. Who would i hire to fix my business problems.  The kid in the White House has NO understanding of business.  And business is what makes the world go around.  My question to you would be WHO would you hire to fix the problem(s) if it was you business knowing what you know now.   I know M R is a RINO but he has more savvy in his little finger then B O had in his in his life time. 

Something to think about.  WHO is B O, WHAT do you know about him, other then what he tell you.   Where I come from a man's word is his bond. 

But that's just my way of thinking.

Greetings, everyone!
Call me Pariah, because at least where I live in my own little corner of Georgia, that's what I am. I come to this forum... seeking help I guess.

You see, the term Pariah fits me because that's what I am. I'm an Asian-American living in this county, and the only one to boot. I deal with a lot of racism, but that's neither here nor there, and that's not what I need help with.

I'm 24 years old, with a wife and 2 kids. I have a pretty good job, though it could always be better...

I also voted for Obama in 2008.
I'm not making that mistake again.

You see, back then I was still naive to exactly how the world works. I suffered through the Bush era along with a lot of people - that's a lie, really. Bush honestly did the best he could with what he had in hindsight, but at the time I was angry and bitter. To this day I believe that Afghanistan was the right decision but still firmly believe that Iraq was just him finishing Daddy's war. However, the Patriot Act and No Child Left Behind Act both enrage me to no end, and I still don't see how these even exist.

Look at it this way, first off, it's their money, not the Govts. to steal and redistribute to buy votes.
Secondly, were in debt, all because both party's over spend, we need to cut their power to tax, because you're next.
And third, and most important, Govt Does Not create jobs, it gets in the way of job creation.
A Govt job is not a job, it a draw on the economy, it causes higher taxes, all the jobs Hussein was supposed to have created through Green energy programs, are a net drain on the economy, because they require the support of tax dollars to exist.

QuoteProblem 2: Socially, I'm very liberal.

Feelings are a liberals way of looking at issues, and I don't see how it should effect your vote.

Again, put your feelings aside and vote for the person that has the best of intentions for the country.
Mitt has a proven track record in business, Hussein had four years and it's worse now than when he entered office, and his plan is four more years of the same.
Shouldn't be so hard...

Libs are just more emotional and tend not to think things through, but rather react emotionally, while Conservatives like to weigh individual issues and determine if they are what our Founders intended.

It IS their money, and I sincerely believe that people shouldn't take risks that they're not prepared for or want to do with it. Not every rich person was a businessman, and especially in the South there's a lot of "old money" that really want nothing to do with the business world, preferring instead to sit on their money till the end of time.

But I just can't abide by those people who want tax cuts for their income bracket, yet do nothing with the extra income. I'm a big believer in the advancement of America and humanity as a whole, and sitting on your massive amounts of cash does nothing for anyone. I'm not saying that the gov't should TAKE the money from them, or that the current tax level is correct (personally I feel that the income tax system as a whole needs a massive overhaul because it's too easy for anyone in any tax bracket to weasel out of actually paying taxes), but I feel like it's an imperative that we advance humanity to far greater things than what we are.

For example, private research always goes farther than government funded research. Look at how far computers advanced because of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Or how Virgin Galactic successfully got into space before the gov't started paying them to help them do it. With privately funded research, we could probably have colonies on the bleedin' moon by now! We have some of the richest people on Earth that could help to eliminate American poverty, advance education to Japan-like levels, and maybe have even found by now vaccines or maybe even cures to major diseases.

But they don't because they're greedy f*ckwits who sit on their money and laugh at everyone's misery!

...that's not a Romney issue, that's an issue I have with the "elite" that support him. I truly believe that Romney wants the best for this country, but I'm not sure the people he supposedly represents have the same agenda as him. He wants tax cuts so people will create jobs, but I think people are either to afraid of failure or too greedy to try and create those jobs.

QuoteAgain, simple, it's a States Rights issue, not a Federal one!

Personally I feel like it's both: I feel that both State and Federal governments should work together (heresy, I say!) and come to an agreeable solution that works best for everybody, rather than the State trying to kick out Federal and Federal trying to overpower state.

QuoteAgain, put your feelings aside and vote for the person that has the best of intentions for the country.

Shouldn't be so hard...

I wish it were that easy. Obama did some pretty crappy things, to be sure, but I feel that a lot of that is not just him, but the fact that the House and Senate let those things happen. To me it's telling when Congress caves and lets the president do what he wants. I don't think it's right now, and if Romney gets it, I don't think it'll be right for him to do the same.

I am emotional, that's for sure. But my emotions are bitter and cynical - I see everything through jade-colored glasses and honestly, I expect the worst more than I hope for the best. It's hard to disassociate my feelings with my analytical thought, so everything I say comes across as being biased; to Reps, I sound liberal and to Dems, I sound conservative.

Really I'm just angry.

This is for Pariah and anyone else who hasn't made up their mind about voting.

If you were robbed, would you hand the robber a gun to rob you again?   That's what you would be doing in my opinion if you vote for Obama again.  Why not give Romney a chance.  Right now, he is our only hope for our future.

If you believed Obama the first time on all the things he promised and he didn't deliver any of them, why would anyone even think of voting for him again, knowing you can't believe in him.  Why not give the alternative, Romney, a try.  Don't he deserve a chance for you to believe in him, especially since he has been a successful Governor and successful in other things he endevered to accomplish.

The way I see it, Obama hasn't even spent much of his time in the Oval Office like he was supposed to do.  He didn't have this country at heart.......he was selfish and used his time in office while he could,  to vacation, do sports, photo opts at every chance, cater to the celebrity movie stars to get on camera, and hasn't even continued to help the people who were hurt in New York and New Jersey.   Oh he did make a photo opt..........so he would appear to be doing his job during crisis to help his election.  But all he did was the same thing all Presidents have done.....and yet they give him credit for being so attentive......Those people are still crying out for help and have seen no one coming to help in New York.   Obama has let them down.  And then he critisizes Bush for Katrina.  He has no right to claim victory over Sandy and brag that he has helped.  All he did was give statements to FEMA... He didn't make sure that they showed up.

Then there is the matter of trust.........something that is lacking where Obama is concerned.   Why would anyone vote for Obama when he allowed those 4 Americans to be killed when the whole time he had been notified about the danger by several people including the American Ambassador himself,  way before the event happened in Bengazzi and he LIED about not knowing and blamed a video and then lied about that and said he blamed it on terriorists, and that was a direct LIE.  Obama doesn't have the know-how nor the courage to make the right decision about saving a life.........why would anyone think he would care about ours as a citizens! 

He continues to deny, along with all his staff and State Dept., that they knew anything about sending in help............That in itself, should make anyone eery of casting a vote for Obama.   

So since he and Romney are the only ones who are being considered, Romney should be the first name anyone with gumption would consider voting for and giving a chance to show us he has hope for us in the future.

And that folks, is just my opinion, and seems obvious to me. :rolleyes:

Sorry Pariah, if I got carried away.........but Obama urps me and has hurt a lot of people including  the United States of AMerica................. The big deceiver of all times.  :sneaky:

Forums aren't something new to me, I thought about taking a long rest from any Political discussions since in the end it has no effect on what all of us believe.  I think the past 4 years I have harbored so much hatred for the mess living on Pennsylvania Ave it just took all the fun out of posting.  I made no new friends and certainly lost none and I still hate the people living on Pennsylvania Ave.  I'm sure somewhere you would find my name on a long list of "who to watch closely"... so I guess I'll just continue hating, but with a smile.

New here today. Been posting on XXXXXXX and XXXXXXXX   for a while, though. I post under marv there, but I fatfingered the keys and got matv over here. Should've paid closer attention before I hit <ENTER>.

And yes, I browse around XXXXXXXXXXXX for yucks. Check it out, you'll either laugh or cry.

[sidebar]
Seems I've come across shooterman on another board a while back, but I can't recall which.
[/sidebar]

Back to me; I'm a veteran (USAF and Army), and I did my time in hell. But that's all over now. Now I'm a retired DoD civilian systems engineer (large computer systems, IBM and Amdahl, were my gig). And I saw plenty of fraud, crap and corruption in USDA and Interior as well as DoD. Filed one case with DoD and got whiffed off.

I've also got a website at XXXXXXXXXX

Sorry young man, I removed your link.

Please check with admin before posting other board.

Hi I came here because my right-wing views were not being accepted on other forums, I've been banned out of two for them (wow people there really must not like conservatives).  So I've washed ashore here to see if I cannot just discuss my political views without being smacked in the face for it and just have a good time.

Hello, I am a 35 yr old married conservative woman from pottstown, PA, with no kids.  I wanted to find a place with people that have similar conservative values and just somwhere that I will fit in.  It is not easy finding like minded conservatives, and I believe we are a dying breed.  I've been reading Greg Gutfelds book "The Joy of Hate", and it has encouraged me to reach out as a conservative and no be ashamed and to not fear that I will not be liked.  Liberals will reject you almost instantly if they found our you are consesrvative.  Heck, my own sister disowned me for voting for Mitt Romney.  Anyway, I hope to learn more, make more friends, share conservative ideals, and discuss even some liberal ideals while here on this site.

Welcome young lady. 

As you sound like a new poster on boards, please remember always keep most of your personal information off the board when posting.  As you get to know people you can pass personal information by way of PM's   Your safety should always come first. 

Now then you will find some very nice ladies on the board for the same reason.

Not in IT exactly.  Spent first 8 years in USAF in Air Weather Service.  After that went into Illinois Bell Telephone Co.

Function at IBT was Electronic Switching Tech (#1 ESS).  We were one for the first few ESS operations in the US.  We went digital in spring of 1970.  In the early days of ESS we techs did everything from software creation/modification/trouble shooting (at Assembly language level), hardware mainlines and modification, pretty much anything.  Our "class" was the 3rd class through the IBT school at the time.

Worked in the front-lines of wire-line telecom and watched all the changes from plain old phones to some of the best business communication systems at the time.

Went through all the corporate transitions..IBT -> Ameritech -> SBC -> AT+T.  It was a fun time.  I was one of the lucky ones who got to earn his living doing what he liked to do.  Vocation = Avocation.

Totally.  You can never capture it.  How many times I thought it "clicked", and got so excited and boasted how my game has raised another level, only to just go completely helicopter the next day.  It really is about how you attach your mind to your body. If at any point they are off, forget it.

Welcome to Conservative Political Forum.

This is a place you can tell us about yourself if you wish. 

Please remember safety first at all times.  The net is not a place to give out private information. 

Gender, age and state would be safe.  Even a very large city.   Pass all other information by PM or E-Mail only if and when you feel very safe about it. 

I am walkstall as I use this aka on more the one board.  On this board I am just call walks.   Male, Washington State, Age hmmm.. lol I remember the big bang, if that will help.   Some of us go back 10 or more years with each other from other boards.  We hope you enjoy yourself.

Walks:

I am a sixty-five year old conservative who has zero use for the Republican Party.  As far as I am concerned, the Republican Party is little more than a retarded version of a half-witted Democrat.  I do not fall for the bi-polar politics that pit the Republicrats agains the Demopublicans.  The mess that our nation is in is a direct result of the combined efforts of both major political parties to feather their own nests at the expense of the American taxpayer. 

I live as a recluse with my wife in northwest Arkansas, in the southern portion of the Ozark forest and plateau because I got fed up with the "politics as usual" male bovine feces that oozes out of Washington, DC, on a daily basis. 

We -- the wife and I -- consider ourselves "survivalists" in the sense that we have prepared for the day when the liberals turn this once free nation into a socialistic nightmare, which appears to be happening on an almost hourly basis.  We have stockpiled dried food, garden seed, chickens, geese, guns, ammo, gold, silver and a resolute determination to resist tyranny even if it means that we sacrifice our lives in the name of freedom.

G'day y'all,

I am a friendly sort of chappie and a friend...cyber pal..has said that this forum has potential. I currently post on a left dominated forum which is quite toxic....but I would suggest that I give as good as I get. I am indeed a Conservative Aussie and it is with Great Pleasure that I can now say that we kicked a bunch of left wing drongos to the turf on September 7th.....sigh...would that the good ole USA could have followed suit. I am just above the 21 mark...OK...55 yo mark... though I did take up basketball last year...and am loving it. My traditional sports are cricket and Rugger of course.

I follow US politics a bit and am definitely either Blue Dog Dem or Conservative Repub....seems that I have a lot in common with both those groups. I consider Obama to be a dolt and Biden to be a twit; I think Hillary has had her day and frankly have a high opinion of Palin and McCain...except that they lost. I am polite to a fault unless attacked with gratuitous insults in which case the gloves are off and it's handbags at two paces. I have no idea yet how this place works but I intend to find out. Oh: and I sign my posts. It puts some people off but I've always done it and will continue to do so. It is basically out of politeness but is often misconstrued...usually by lefties and poms.

I am polite to a fault unless attacked with gratuitous insults in which case the gloves are off and it's handbags at two paces. I have no idea yet how this place works but I intend to find out. Oh: and I sign my posts. It puts some people off but I've always done it and will continue to do so. It is basically out of politeness but is often misconstrued...usually by lefties and poms.

  There are some lib/trolls that slip through the net here ( I don't mind if they would  argue and counter argue, agree to disagree, that sort of thing) with the sole intention of thread de-railing and name calling. But  it seems as though they are dealt with efficiently.

Makes a nice change from being outnumbered.  Like some places. :ttoung:

I've heard liberals have different child-rearing ideas in your part of the world.

You'll probably not find ANY support for my fellow Vietnam veteran John McCain, the no-load lying RINO trash no true conservative could EVER vote for, had it not been for the real candidate running as his VP. Had Palin not been on his ticket, Mushmouthed Maverick would have taken about the same number of votes as John "Lurch" Kerry.

Republicans in Name Only infest a party of rat bastard Democratic sympathizers like Weepy Boehner and that detestable Lindsay Graham. They are the party bulls who drank the commie Kool-Aid and spend like liberals, which they are.

I do not do handbags. That must be a regional thing.

HELLO, I'm a computer Know-nothing refugee from "political Crossfire Forum", where leftist rant and drivel are the soup de jour. I'm here to read some thoughtful discussion based on truth, kind of an alternative lifestyle choice coming from where I've been. I'm just afraid that too much real thought may fail to stimulate my argumentative writing style and I will not want to preach to the Choir. I'm fairly old, I remember warning my friends about Nixon's questionable "conservative" credentials, and the 1968 Gun Control Act stopping my impending purchase of my first Ruger Super Blackhawk. I was registered Libertarian till that left libertarian satellite radio personality ran for NY Governor(can't remember his name, no loss), now I'm Constitutional(no real party there) but I can't stomach calling myself Republican after all their betrayal of America(and my cousin was their first candidate for President). I'm a real life political refugee from the Marxist Republic of Aztlan(California), a state that my family helped create. I'm a disabled "jack of all trades", like the 17th century Catholic French church records recorded for my eponymous ancestor. My family still resides there(California) and here in Pennsylvania, where many of my immigrant ancestors first set foot in America. My family, part of it, were the leading edge of the pioneers who opened up North America for settlement, and some of my relatives' other ancestors were there to welcome them(or not).

Thank you all for the welcome, folk. Is that my old cradle in that pic? lol. Thanks re putting the context re Conservatism and McCain. He is not someone about whom I knew much until the 2008 effort but have heard similar comments about him previously. However, he was of the right tribe at the contest and hence was preferred to what got up on the day. Of Palin; she indeed is the real deal!!...imho. I am interested to hear about the current crop of hopefuls. No messiahs please, though. After the Obama "cult of personalty" mob a genuine person would be refreshing.

To be honest, I don't know what he is talking about. And never have. He's also commited more faux pas than Bush.

The Americans weren't the only one raving about his speeches. The Europeans were mad for him too. But that's dying off.

Greetings!
I's like to introduce myself. I'm a late 50's single father who resides South of the Border in a resort/retirement village. I'm an Independent conservative who believes the Constitution was the result of enlightened cooperation of some of our most brilliant minds. I was raised in the South in a FDR Democratic family, and was a good little Lefty for the first 40% or so of my life. I worked and voted for Jimmy Carter in 76 and then enlisted in the Navy a few weeks after his election, the beginning of my coming out of the mist. I was a Corpsman (I assume most here can pronounce it correctly  :cool:) so I have a soft spot for Marines, and always will. I know exactly the moment I became an Independent Constitutional conservative, when the tanks broke through the walls at Waco.
I'm not big on forums except one we had here locally which recently pulled it's own plug, the Lefties running it finally couldn't defend their shaky position any more, life does have it's little victories now and again.  :thumbup: So I thought I'd find a place a bit more comfortable. I hope this is it, and I look forward to some interesting discussions. This is my second attempt at a post, I blew the first with those strange letters thing, they give me fits!! I failed every color test designed by the Navy, must have something to do with it.
I am a lover of history, especially American and Meso-American/Pre-Columbian, which explains my handle/Maya name, given to me many years ago.....but that's another story. Anyway, hello to all!!

The name was given after many months completely unplugged from the modern world in the high desert mountains, a soul searching journey you might say, with a climax of a deeply personal understanding that we, and literally everything is "Ek Ehecatl", all IS God. Of course the Indians express this in different ways. After this we left to return to "the world" turned on the radio and the first thing we heard was about the USSR shooting down Flight 007, a while back, we almost went back to the mountains, maybe we should have. There was a sublime peace there....

I wanted to join and introduce myself to fellow conservatives. My name is Matt. I am a proud conservative. I am not really so much a Reagan conservative (I have doubts about "supply-side" economics, for instance) but an independent conservative. I used to be a progressive although I could never stand people like Bill Clinton or Nancy Pelosi. I am in favor of free-market enterprise, limited government, the Fair Tax (although I am open to a flat tax or a "head tax"). I am undecided on the abortion issue as of now. I have traditionally been prochoice but I find myself a moderate.

Several founding fathers of our great nation were religious liberals. I have in mind Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and others. Like them, I am a religious liberal (a Unitarian Universalist; I am an agnostic who leans slightly towards deism). I am probably one of the few UUs who is also a conservative (I might be considered a neoconservative considering that I favor a peace-through-strength approach to foreign policy).

I am a 35 year old guy from California who loves his country, is proud of our military and law enforcement, and wants a society that is more responsible than "compassionate" (hence one reason I am a conservative).

This is a place you can tell us about yourself if you wish. 

Please remember safety first at all times.  The net is not a place to give out private information. 

Gender, age and state would be safe.  Even a very large city.   Pass all other information by PM or E-Mail only if and when you feel very safe about it. 

I am walkstall as I use this aka on more the one board.  On this board I am just call walks.   Male, Washington State, Age hmmm.. lol I remember the big bang, if that will help.   Some of us go back 10 or more years with each other from other boards.  We hope you enjoy yourself.

No gender, (given the date today) old enough to remember vividly the day Kennedy was shot (though this morning I felt as old as the nano-particle or VOID or whatever before the BIG BANG), a Floridian, not a native (though here more years than I want to admit being alive), and exist tempermentally and politically somewhere in the half-world of the extended South and the region of  Yankee transplants.

My name is the outlaw mortarman. I live in Sparta, WI. I served in the US Army from '76-'80 in Germany. Up until this last September I worked at the PX at Ft. McCoy as a cashier. It was a great job. I got to interact with real American heroes. I got laid off in September because the Sequester finally caught up with us. Also there was the impending shutdown to contend with. So now I am looking for a new job. Yes I am drawing unemployment, butt no more than I am allotted an' also consider that I had worked for the past 2 1/2 years an' earned it. It is called unemployment insurance an' is there for this sort of thing.

My name is the outlaw mortarman. I live in Sparta, WI. I served in the US Army from '76-'80 in Germany. Up until this last September I worked at the PX at Ft. McCoy as a cashier. It was a great job. I got to interact with real American heroes. I got laid off in September because the Sequester finally caught up with us. Also there was the impending shutdown to contend with. So now I am looking for a new job. Yes I am drawing unemployment, butt no more than I am allotted an' also consider that I had worked for the past 2 1/2 years an' earned it. It is called unemployment insurance an' is there for this sort of thing.

Also about myself. I am 57 years old an' an Atheist.

Hello. This is my first post here. I guess at this point of my life I have become more of a political mutt with strong leanings toward conservatism. Meaning that I don't fit the mold of what passes as conservative today. I am fiscally and socially conservative with a heavy leaning toward state rights. I am also pro labor union as I believe everyone should have a say in what goes on in his or her workplace and for keeping it as local as possible without all the democrat back scratching. I believe in America first trade policies and am not for any kind of policy that drives down America's standard of living. I am not pro amnesty whatsoever. So with these things said, hello again and I look forward to civil discussion.

I think you have a pretty good understanding of the concept, and welcome to the forum.
Though I have no doubt we can enlighten you on the union aspect, a worker has absolutely no right to dictate how his employer runs a PRIVATE entity, ever!
He doesn't like it, he has the right to seek other employment.

NOPE!  That's the old 'conservatives'.  Yall are dying off!   The new batch wants you to be Christian, by CHURCH AFFILIATION, be it Catholic, Baptist, Primitive Baptist, etc. etc.  (And a couple of particularly 'devout' Baptists told me my old CHRISTIAN religion was a 'dark religion'--whatever the hell that meant).  The 'wishy washy' PRESBYS and even LUTHERANS are TOAST in their eyes. Unitarians?  Forget about it!!  And the new group sure as hell have alot to say with who one prefers to sleep with!  (MORE THAN I DISCUSSED IT IN 60+ YEARS ON THE EARTH).  So nope, the CONSERVATISM is intrusive, restrictive, small minded and in your business (and your boxers).

You do know that at least part of Bush's new post-presidency cause is to help a group "Jews for Jesus" get JEWS signed up/signed on/'converted' to CHRISTIANITY so--if I got this straight (and believe me it is MUDDLED biblical 'theory' to me), when all the Jews convert, the whole lot of them and the 'born agains' will ascend to Heaven??  I guess leaving us sinners or undecideds to perish on the earth?   Anyway, apparently JEWISH groups are pissed and/or alarmed.  I have no idea what various Christian groups think about ti.

As you know this is all VERY subjective.  The OLD CONSERVATISM that I was raised with has been kicked in the ass and to the curb--BY THE NEW REPUBLICAN CLASS.  So PERHAPS we agree!  MANY of my best friends (and peripheral ones) were old time CONSERVATIVES.  Hell, I met and became friends with several of them WHEN I WORKED ON A REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR in my town back in the early 70's.  (Hell, I pedaled my bicyle at 12 and stuffed envelopes for BARRY GOLDWATER).  I damn near voted for BUSH I the 2nd time around UNTIL he gave us Clarence Thomas.  I would have MOST LIKELY voted for JOHN MC CAIN during his first run--EXCEPT ROVE on behalf of BUSH 2 DESTOYED him in SC with that vile/despicable/revolting 'whisper campaign'.  So be very careful your SO PRESUMPTIONS.  I can argue as vociferously my CONSERATIVE STREAK as my LIBERAL STREAK.  I have both!  Of course, I'll NEVER meet the purity standard of today's movement.

Wherein lies the problem, all of those since Reagan were pure RINO socialists.
This is the reason the TEA will kill them off in 2014, the base is sick of the scum running us deeper in debt to line their own pockets.
They are literally the same as the Dim party, the RINO just want us to move toward socialism at a slower pace, but both share the same goal.

I did not mean to be rude. I just didn't see this thread right away.

I am new, live in Baltimore, Maryland, and I have 26 years under the belt. I am a young conservative, very interested in law and politics, and of course the Constitution. This is actually the first online forum I've joined. There isn't much discussing politics with my friends as my state is one of the bluest. My opinions have mostly been private, until now. It's nice to air them out. I hold pretty much mainstream conservative opinions, although I am finding most conservatives tend to be a bit more socially conservative than I am and more suspicious of the Republican Party. Well that's me in a nutshell.

See you all around  :cool:

Post by: uronotenshi on March 03, 2014, 12:47:30 AM
Hi All,
  I saw on the announcement that liberals were being requested to identify themselves.  I can follow directions, here is my announcement.  I am a liberal, or at least those internet quizzes keep telling me that I am.  I'll give opinions on some of the issues, hopefully I'm not as scary as the stereotypical liberal.  Gun Control:  I would support smart background checks, that take into account someone's ability to change and improve themselves.  I don't support gun bans or bullet/clip limits.  I have to draw the line at civilians being able to own nukes, I have to do something to redeem myself as a (insert expletive here) liberal  :tounge: .  Global Warming:  Liberals really need to step away from the term global warming and focus on reducing gas pollutants in general.  It's pretty well supported that these emissions can cause health problems.  Lowering these emissions would make people more productive, and help lead to a stronger nation.  I don't support cap and trade, it's stupid and won't help our environment.  Politics in general:  Seriously our politicians are broken.  I can bring up an issue with conservative, moderate, and other liberal friends and we can have a solution that all of us are happy with fairly quickly.  I'm pretty sure that our politicians are paid not to work with each other.  I'm talking about both parties here.     
Blessings

Hey Uron, welcome.
The only thing in what you wrote that denotes liberal, is your ignorance on the environment.
Note the connection between liberal and ignorance there? Co2 is not a pollutant, it's an essential gas, one that allows our planet to prosper, the more, the better, the less, we die.

Hi Solar,
  Thanks^^.  That was probably a bit badly worded on my part.  However I did say gas pollutants and didn't just specify CO2.  Granted you are right, I had one individual (unfortunately extreme liberal *shiver*) who tried to explain to me that CO2 was bad on any level was bad.  I asked what the plants used to make oxygen, and was told the sun.  I about fell over on that one.  I'm not an environmental science major.  I've had 2 environmental science classes and some self study, I won't claim to be an expert. 
  I didn't go into all my beliefs, but I'm coming into your board.  I need to show that I'm not (or try not to be) whatever the stereotype of the hour is).

It's even more telling how liberals go to such extreme lengths to silence all opposing views, whatever they are. One stunt got pulled on me a few years back (long before Obama).

Walks and a few others might recall I had a blog over at mu.nu just before Ace of Spades showed up there. I had about 24 sites exchanging links with me, which I thought respectable after only a few months on the Net, and then some leftist complained to a library running a certain brand of censorship filters for content.

Turned out, every other library using that wide-used filtering program were all signed up for regular updates on ISP numbers to block for "their own protection." They didn't even have to read a list of who owned the ISP or why it was banned, just accept the update and it gets auto-added into blocking those nasty conservatives from public reading places. The efficiency in that one was breathtaking, Daddy Warbucks!

That's pretty much the reason I left my last forum after fifty thousand posts over the years.
The owner was doing things in direct conflict with Conservative principles and allowing members private information to be used against them.

walkstall has already made a suggesstion that is compelling. Yes, I am pissed!  :cursing:

I am proud of having Conservative views. I tend to be adamant, even militant about them.

I am very concerned that we are losing the peace.

Welcome to the club. :biggrin:

Hey y'all. Wuz here some time ago. Haven't been on a forum since I wuz booted from here. A lot has happened since then. And so some attitudes have changed, BUT I am still a conservative. I have looked on here but I just can't seem to find the fire I had back then.
Solar, went to Cali. for a little more than a week. Wore out that rental car. Stayed at Huntington Beach. Did the tourist thing in LA and surrounding areas. You can keep that dang tar pit and what we call a farmers market over here is not what you folks call a farmers market. Fru fru restaurants inside what was supposed to be a vegetable stand....what tha hay?!
Also went to Yosemite to see, what is to foresters the holy grail, the redwoods. Man-o-man are they something else. Got a lot a pics prior to the fire. Outstanding place.
You folks are a doctor jeckle  mr hyde when it comes to driving. Nice as can be outside the car but once behind the wheel y'all turn into something else......jeeze. In the town of Huntington I was driving the speed limit or just slightly less because I didn't know the area and I got flipped off because I was in the way.....you folks are just plain nutz.
Just glad there was no earthquakes or meteors and I got out of Ca. alive.
Since then when dealing with health issues I was asked if I had been out of the country in the past 12 months I replied.....only California. LOL!
I have decided that we are on the downhill slide of what was a great country because of a lack of leadership on the local, state and federal level and there is not much I can do but enjoy the show as we decline and head off into the abyss.
However, when the libs hit the bottom of the abyss and ask for help. I'll ask them if they know mandarin or russian because the english speaking people(conservatives) cannot understand liberal language any longer.
Grins Y'all

You may have seen me around, as I have been around conservative political boards since GW and Kerry ran in '04.  That was an exciting election. 

Now that election time is just around the coroner, I'm getting a little nervous.  We really need to take the Senate this time around. 

Looking forward to getting to know you.

As a new member I thought I would introduce myself. I am a refugee from several political forums from which I have left intentionally or was kicked off as my conservative viewpoints were not accepted there and the liberal mods decided to come down hard. So be it. Guys and gals, I don't know much about the Tea Party except that they are very conservative but not a big player in the elections. Hence in the most recent election I went for the people that had the best chance of dethroning this ridiculous liberal regime that has been running this country straight down the sh!tter for the last six and ½ years. Of course that would have been the Republican party. Anything to get rid of Ebola Obama.

So this was just to introduce myself and say hello. HI!

Good Evening Everyone! My name is Matthew & I'm a young, 27 year old, Italian & Irish American living in Brooklyn NYC where I was born and raised. I align myself with and vote for the Conservative party in my state, which since I just recently started getting into politics i found that New York is very anti-conservative. It's hard holding the views i have around my friends and co workers so i usually just keep my opinions to myself.

It's great to be here among like minded and intelligent individuals such as yourselves. I was wondering though, how can I get involved politically in real life with the Conservative party in my state? Any suggestions/ideas?

I suppose I'm the new kid on the block.  Not really!

I'm no kid at all.  I am a 68 yr. old woman who moved to north Texas three years ago.

Prior to that I spent nine years on the road with my husband in our motorhome traveling all the States and Canada.

Prior to that we spent years living in the far East and Middle East and traveling the world.  My husband and I raised three kids .... mostly in Indonesia but also Saudi Arabia.  We home schooled our kids for many years..... and they are now grown and gone.

Almost three months ago I fell down the stairs in my home and broke fourteen bones and suffered a concussion and collapsed lung.  Recovery has been long and slow and I spend a lot of time on my computer...... which brought me to you fine people.

It is nice to be among fellow conservatives and activists.  Oh yeah..... I am a member of the Cruz Crew!

Welcome Kroz, and sorry about the concussion. I had one nearly 20 years ago which led me to posting in political forums too. Before that I was in mining and geology sites, but once memory loss set in, I moved to political forums.

Thank you all for your warm words of welcome.  It is a pleasure to be here.

Yes, politics is additive!  I have been involved since registering American ex-patriots living abroad to vote in the elections.  I was trying to light fires under voters long before the Tea Party existed.  But when the Tea Party was first being organized in 2009 I signed on as a card caring member during the embryonic stage!

And Wakstall, thanks for the heads up. I will keep my eye peeled for the BOO guy!  :laugh:

Hi! Is there a new member forum where one goes to be welcomed?

Hi.

I'm an American Conservative and Viet Era Vet who loves America all the way.

I believe Islam will be the instrument of our downfall unless we act now.

Ok, I now take over the Office of Newest Guy with all the duties and responsibilities that entails and which I can shirk.

I am now 72 years old and have been a Conservative activist since I was 17 (yes, I did say 17). I both worked as a volunteer for and voted for (first Presidential vote) Barry Goldwater.

Over the years I have watched my beloved country decline more and more into the cultural muck which is then reflected in its politics (the former informs and inspires the latter).

Currently I am active as a PCO in my county Republican Party and as treasurer for my local Tea Party. Though pessimistic about our country's future I still try to fight the good fight. Most of all, though, I rely on Heavenly Father to ultimately protect and guide us; but I fear that will not fully occur until after, just as with Israel, we experience a severe and well deserved chastisement resulting from our immorality, particularly the abominable practice of abortion.

Beyond that I am a bibliophile and much enjoy sharing news stories of import with other concerned individuals. Hopefully, I will be able to contribute something of value to these discussions and also to make some new friends.

Nice.  Yeah, it's pretty much all conservatives here, with an occasional lib wandering through who gets absolutely trounced into a pulp.  Some of us wander out on Disqus to shred libs, but it's pretty much home base here.

Racist is not radical nor conservative, it's the rantings of an emotional bigot.
Seriously, you might be more at home at Stormfront, look it up, they hate Jooooos too.

Nobody is bullying you.  We are inviting you to leave.  You've made it clear your perspective on others who weren't born a Polish Jew.  I'm sure you're a sweet girl, but really, this isn't the place for you to be a racist asshole.

Hi. I couldn't find any place to post an introduction. I'm new here. I'm in western NC, retired Army, and a proud staffmember to eight cats, one dog, and one hubby.

I work at Walmart as a customer service manager, and I'm a very staunch conservative. I do like Ted Cruz and I was glad to see this here.

Thank you all for having me here. I look forward to debates and all on the boards!

LOL! I missed this post.
What has your heritage to do with anything, and what's a fnchtard? A mentally challenged Finch?
By the way, according to my grand mother, I'm a JOOOO as well.

Look, here's the thing, your first post was that of a racist troll, what most refer to as baiting, that usually gets you banned immediately, but I didn't boot you, I'd hoped if I pushed you hard enough you'd concede and admit you came off bigoted and move on, never to pull that shit again.
I don't know what you're used to, but this is an actual Conservative forum, where bigots and racists have absolutely no place in the movement.
Conservatism is not about race, skin color or sex, it's about values.

So I'll leave it up to you to decide if you stay, assuming you can grow up and act like an adult.
By the way, Taxed and I own this forum, we decide who stays and who does not.
I'm being kind, take advantage of it.
Your choice.

Post by: The Purple Finger on September 23, 2015, 07:25:24 PM
Fellow conservatives. I just registered and want to say hello. This looks like a great place to call home. Just some quick background. I have been a conservative since kicking that dough eyed putz Jimmy Carter out when I voted for Ronaldus Magnimus Reagan.

In my profession I have been involved with the media (whom the universe is not big enough to contain my hate for) and have worked with a number of conservative pundits, celebs and such. I proudly served a support role in Iraq and was involved in the voting process there. This hopefully explains my username explaining the voter ink.

I post a bit on the cutting edge at times using humor + vinegar. 90% of it is to mock the left wing media machine's style, holding a mirror up for any leftists to see what we must suffer through every day of our lives.

In my profession one of the things I do is photoshopping and occasionally post humorous pics. Please let me know if you want anything to use as ammo elsewhere, or if you feel anything is too much. I don't post porn, disgusting pics, or use profanity in my pics or posts. I've been on forums since 1993 and even further back on UseNet, so I'm reasonably behaved.

BTW, I'm out fighting the good fight on the Disqus format as The Purple Finger as well. Mostly now on the TheHill. If my sarcasm, my posting style ever gets too over the top, please just PM me and will yield to anyone who asks.

Thanks for tolerating the long introduction and apologies to all I'll probably offend hense forward.  :thumbsup: The Clot Blimp below gets more engulfed and pointed more vertical as her weekly scandals come out and she nose dives so keep an eye for that periodically.

Thanks Hero for moving the thread to where it belongs. I honestly missed the Welcome Thread area in my excitement to join.

Today on TheHill and on a couple of Gruber Gerbil sites, in full sarcasm I posted this about the pope, and had to beat the rage back with stick.

I find it very refreshing that this administration is willing to add religion to everything we do. The Pope should be involved in our everyday lives, every moment, as should God and Christ. More God, Christ, prayer and less government.

With all the coverage on the Pope, the welcome fit only for the highest of kings and God, a renewed focus on religion can be taught to our kids in school with prayers every day numerous times a day. Teaching the entire Christian bible and graded on their knowledge along with Roman Catholic tests on why the climate changing is bad.

This should prepare the young and the millennials for the mandatory contribution they will face in order to fix the climate from changing. I'm hearing that millennials and generation z workers should be taxed have their wages withheld at 50% ~ 70% of everything they make, so they'll be working day and night non stop as our brave new worker drones used to fix the climate from changing.

It's the very least they can do to pay the hundreds of trillions this new alliance of Rome, God, Christ, and US government will require to stop the climate from changing.

My son (9) and I also do testing and work up on Davis & Mather airfield. He actually salutes the flag when he sees it and has been FULLy taught about Democrats, Repubs, RINOS, Obama... the works. Nine! And he could post on any forum and attack these pedocrats... Ooops that was out loud. Sorry.

I take him to the bases and the guys love him. Here he is in an A-10. He was SPITTING mad when he heard Obama (yes I told him that) is cutting the warthogs. It's the A10A -

Not really sure how I found it. Was searching with "conservative" in the name and Democrat's brain (Google) coughed it up.

BTW, I live in CA. Work in very technical field in the San Jose area and I'm surrounded MoonBatShttery. I have ammo and hate for decades.  Mr. Taxed, my property taxes are 18 THOUSAND a year.  :cursing:

Welcome! Are you enjoying supporting all the "takers" in CA?

There HAS TO BE a stronger word than hate. I'm getting my revenge. My son can spot Democrats from a mile away. He's just nine and knows that Democrats will be taxing his yard cutting business and everything else.

If you have kids teach them early and often. Do to their brains what the left does. Fill it with information on what's "bad" and what's "good".

Trip over the sidewalk and skin your knees? Democrats fault for not fixing it despite taking tax money to do so.
Fires raging in CA? Democrat's (Sierra Club) fault for not allowing more removal of dead trees.
Dad can't afford the latest iPad? Democrat's took all my money for taxes.
Gray haired 58 yr old miserable 3rd grade teacher (who goes home to her "partner") giving you bad grades? Crat!
School lunches suck worse than eating dirt? Michelle Obama - Democrat.
Friends house broken into? Democrat funded illegal aliens.
Videos of people having their heads sawn off? Democrats who stand w/ Iran and Islam.
Dad can't afford the latest XBox? Global warming and taxes on electricity bills.
Global Warming? Every winter it snows, ANYWHERE... every hurricane season under normal... Democrat scam.
Kids tease you at school? Future Democrats.
Bad hair day? Organic Democrats selling useless hair gel.
The Devil? Democrat.

See how this works? The folks at PBS do. The folks at Sesame Street did. Teach them. Program them. Prepare them.

Part of the reason I am settling down has to do with the times a changing. I was lucky to get into the blimp business when I did, at the end of it's heyday, but sadly the quality of new blood coming in is not up to what I believe is needed to remain safe or sane. Add that to the new owners ultra corporate philosophy and it is evolving into a very rigid and unforgiving lifestyle with little personal reward. I am glad for my time there, but fate and circumstance has put me in one spot for now. Not a bad thing, but I do miss traveling and if the fates allow, I will travel again.  Thanks for the welcomes back!

I have some empathy for your adjustment.  I traveled constantly for nine years in my motorhome but settled down three years ago.  It takes a while to get used to your stationary legs.  Waking up every day in the same place seems strange.  I was concerned that I would get restless, but that hasn't happened.  Staying busy helps!   :wink:

I settled down nearly 30 years ago, and the one thing I hate the most, is accumulative shit that piles up over the years.
I used to pride myself in the fact that I could toss everything I owned, into a box and walk away.
Now it would take a year of planning and yard sales just to prep for the move, that would take 6 semi trucks to deal with the rest.
Yeah, I miss the simple life, but love my huge tools, so I'm stuck ya might say..

I was on the road for forty-three years. Marriott gave me "lifetime platinum" status which meant I spent over five years in Marriott hotels. Was platinum on Delta. I now take pride that I have not been on an airplane finover three years. The adjustment came easier than I thought. I still would not give up those times as it provided me a very gratifying career.I think it was a bigger adjustment for my wife having to get used to me being home all the time.

That is so true.  You gave up a job; she gave up her lifestyle.   :wink:

Do not decide to "help" your wife by reorganizing the kitchen!  :ohmy:

Do not decide that the house is your new "management project".   :ohmy:

One of our agreements was that the kitchen belonged to Toy.
So over the years, as I search for a utensil I used the day before, or condiments that are usually found in the most obvious of places, yet aren't, I simply say, "Hon, I'm hungry" and food magically appears.
She's a good and efficient cook, but she's constantly rearranging the kitchen.

I'm not compaining in the least, she can move anything she wants as long as she feeds me. :wub:

Now that was an interesting post, walks!

I do not put milk in my scrambled eggs because I do not like them soft and squishy!   :biggrin:

But I frequently put a lid on the skillet and that causes the eggs to puff up.  They are airy, not spongy.  They are like an omelet without the added ingredients.  We like these puffy eggs in a crispy bacon and egg sandwich in the evenings. Yum!

Yum.  You are making me so hungry, walks!  I also like eggs over medium for breakfast but have never had them with steak.  Spicy sausage is more of my style or crisp bacon....love biscuits and gravy!!!  :smile:

If I ate everything I wanted....I would be sooo fat!  I love good food.

My husband is taking me to "Babe's" this afternoon.  They are a family style restaurant that we don't frequent but they have great catfish and I think that is why we are going.  My husband is hungry for catfish.

He just did an eight mile jog, so he worked up a good appetite.  He jogs eighteen miles every Saturday.  Training to run the Dallas marathon in December... at the ripe age of 70.

I love a good breakfast. Eggs over medium, hash browns and country ham is my favorite. Waffle does a great job with that.

As far dinner and supper. I remember my grandmother fixing a big dinner and then leftovers were left on the dining room table until supper and that was our supper. How did we ever survive? BTW, anything fried was done in lard. Of course bacon grease was poured into a container and kept for future use.

Hello all, I've just joined quite recently while searching for a conservative site where I might be able to speak freely without the Leftist rabble harassing me with their PC garbage. I am 61, a Florida resident, a climate change denier and a hard-wired Islamophobe. Pleased to make your acquaintance.  :smile:

Welcome to the family.  You sound like you will fit right in!!  :thumbsup:

Hey Y'all

It was suggested I post this here... so here goes.

I'm a small government, fiscally conservative, constitutionalist that believes that the Federal Government exists as a compact of states rather than as an individual omnipotent entity.  I believe power flows up, not down. 

I also believe that most things the Federal Government does is outside their charter.  I believe that they have tortured the interstate commerce clause to include jurisdiction over things that it was never designed to address. 

I think hate speech laws and hate crime laws are attempts to impose thought control on people.  Neither types are valid laws.   I think liberals have an active agenda aimed at social engineering us into their likeness. 

So... there it is in a nutshell.  Thanks for having me.

Just signed up today and it's great to be here.  I'm from the great state of Texas and have supported Ted Cruz since his days as solicitor general.  I watched him take on the establishment' choice for Senate.  He came back from 60 points down to win in a landslide an carried the Latino votes in a large majority.  He's going to do the same exact thing in the election.

I'm honored to be here and thanks for making this a place I can call home.

Title: Welcome Thread for Newbie
Post by: Hoofer on February 19, 2016, 09:17:07 PM
Allow me to introduce myself, and waste your time... yeah, I am kinda new, at least time-wise.

I like to make wifey & the kids smile, so after 35 years of cracking jokes, as a warning to the sensitive types - don't tell me what bugs you.
We live on a small farmette, I am the Farmer's husband... I like ducks, and can watch my favorite ducks in the front pond I dug especially for them. 
If visiting us is on your mind, our Dobermans have been clocked <5 seconds from the front door to the driveway fence, 400' away.
They have outrun full grown deer, in one case circled a fleeing buck.  If you try to hide, we also have a trained search & rescue bloodhound on duty, he'll find you alive... or dead.  The other dog I won't mention, he's on my "list" and hides under th bed during thunderstorms.

And as a really gruesome warning, we have a sign posted,
WARNING MONKEYS!  Their bite is quite painful and highly infectious!
Think about it ... they do.

I am what some would call, a Fundamentalist, Bible Thumping, KJV1611, something-or-other, follower of Jesus Christ.
Yep, one of those guys, just watch out, I ain't perfected yet, and I'm still a pretty good shot with a 25-06.
I enjoy the life I have been given, including the years since when I should have been dead, which is several times.

Some of my forefathers were here a long time, before it was a nation - but, that doesn't bother me as much as the BLM (Bureau of Land Management), I don't tan very well, I get RED.  My other forefathers were white, so I occasionally tan orange, and I like cold weather.

Politically speaking, I love America, it's foundation and thank God for being born & raised here.
I love Freedom, Liberty, Privacy, and would not give up any for the promise of "security".

A Political Conservative, IMO, loves a minimalist government, strong borders & military to keep us safe, but would never turn those forces against the people they have pledged to serve and protect.

A Constitutional Conservative, IMO, looks to the Bill of Rights as the Federal governmental restrictions and limitations, with all the other crazy ideas being left to the States to decide.  And, they own no property that resides outside of Washington DC which has no military purpose.

A Fiscal Conservative, IMO, doesn't try to manipulate or stabilize monetary policy, because it's already backed by Gold and Silver (if necessary).  They also are government minimalists, not looking for the next opportunity to spend money, but how to spend the least amount of the Taxpayer's dollars wisely - and keep what's not needed working in a free market economy.

A Social Conservative, IMO, doesn't look to the government to set moral standards, but encourages and stays out of Churches, so they can freely care for the sick, preach the good news, and be the moral support system for a troubled world.  This person also believes as a last resort, when the people cannot defend themselves, police - the arm of the state, has the right & responsibility to serve and protect American citizens from those who would attempt to take away our lives, our liberty and pursuit of happiness.

A Religious Conservative has a 5lb KJV Bible with an embossed cover, which will leave a clear mark should you be slapped with it.
This person reads, studies and thinks about the Bible, though far from perfect, they struggle as much as anyone else in the desire to please God.  This person isn't out to resolve perceived social injustices, but will attempt to win over others to their point of view - which is centered on Jesus Christ, and called the great commission.  All judgment is left to Jesus Christ, but in this time, He is most Merciful.

Most of that fits nicely with a TEA party Conservative, eh?  Well, I guess that would be -ME-

Most of my free time is spent "tinkering" with HAM radio, Alternative Energy, and amusing my wife and kids. 
We haven't had a TV since 1988, but, still hear enough about it through co-workers to know it's still a waste of time.
We've probably had every local library book in the house at one time - we all read.

A couple of my kids have been politically involved in campaigns, but I'm not allowed to say it's TED CRUZ ... to anyone, I can neither confirm nor deny, and it's a need-to-know basisI can say, the political picture for America is a bright future, there are MANY of these kids involved, for quite some time, and we need to recognize them and encourage them.

Since I work for "The Internet" as a job, surfing it... is boring, so I don't.  Looking at my bookmarks, it's pretty sparse, less than a dozen, 5 in particular:

Weasel Zippers,
Drudge Report, (both for the headlines),
Conservative Review (Mark Levin),
Conservative Political Forum
and a Youtube channel, The Great War - which is an interesting historical study.

Why do I post here, and not really... nowhere else?

For 11 years, I ran one of the largest Multi-line Bulletin Boards in the country.
It is EXPENSIVE, and hardware was replaced continually, modems, drives, etc.
We didn't have popup ads back then, or ask for money - it came from my pocket.
We wrote our own software from the modem handling routines to the database search engines - all self-taught because what we did, didn't exist.
I also tried to police the system, and enlisted the help of a few trusted folks to help out, it was too much, coding, writing, moderating.
The system expanded over a handful of states, with all linked back to the main server, yeah it was fun, but work and expensive.

I can really, really appreciate the guys that keep order here, the sacrifices they are making, the commitment of time & energy, it takes to keep a system like this up and running, and moderate the flow of discussions.  Been there, done that.
So when I see some complete IDIOT stand up and proclaim the forum is BIASED, I too want to reach through the monitor and slap the fool who has invested nothing and expects everything, without the least bit of respect for the gentlemen managing the forums.
It's just so simple, to just leave if you don't like it, the cost to you is ZERO. 
If you do decide to leave, let me remind you, someday, you may want to come back - don't burn your bridge, leave quietly...

The last thing, still the biggest problem with this medium as it was back in the 1980's & 90s, communicating emotions and strength of our desire or lack of, is almost impossible for 99% of the users.  Stuff like sarcasm gets taken out of context easily... grow up, the words posted here are all covered under the First Amendment - so don't let it go to your head and act like a complete jerk, 'cause you don't own it.

If you haven't noticed yet, I write what's on my heart at the moment - sometimes serious, maybe funny, but always "average" as my daughter says, according the the databases she pours over, I am very "average"... sigh!  At least she's got a excellent mother!

Hi There,
Just wanted to introduce myself and thank you for the opportunity to join your community.
A little about me: 
Happily married, former homeschooling mother of three (2 living, 1 in Heaven), grandmother (NaNa) of 2, pro-life, constitutional conservative who loves all things Star Trek, Dr. Who, and Florida State football (Go 'Noles!).
A long time ago I was an Admin on the FreeConservatives board and then posted shortly on the LibertyDwells board.  I think I may recognize a couple of fellow freecers and dwellers who post here now.  Hope I'll still be welcome, lol.
I have been away from forums for a while now, but lacking an avenue to have political discussion, I found myself once again looking for a place to talk politics, get information, and be around like-minded folks.
Looking forward to some great conversations!
See y'all on the threads,
Ziggy

Hi there. Not sure where I should post this other than here.

Hi there. I am a Bernie supporter and a sophomore in college. I made a bet last week with one of the few Trump supporters in school. The terms:

1) If Bernie won Nevada and Trump won SC, it was a push. Same if both lost.

2) But if one won while the other lost, well...

I lost, obviously.

THE WAGER:

Starting at 9AM tomorrow EST, I will now work for my friend for the next 72 hours. I will be his butler/assistant/servant/etc. until Thursday morning.

We also agreed that the loser would go onto different message boards and the like for suggestions for thing I'll have to do for the next 72 hours. I already know that I'm to have coffee and a breakfast sandwich in hand, and I can expect to do a lot of laundry, scrubbing his bathroom, burn the Bernie sign I have on my door outside somewhere and things like that.

We also agreed that I'd ask for suggestions from places like this. I'm not going to just do chores. He's going to use the next few days to also expose me to "proper" thinking. I have to write a two-page book report on The Art of the Deal. But I know I'm going to have a few more things to read and listen to, also.

So fire away for anything else.

Hey there BernieSupporter, or how about BS for short. :biggrin:
Anyway, welcome to the forum, hope you stick around. And FWIW, if you really like Bernie, you should see little difference in Trump, they're cut from the same socialistic cloth.

Hi, y'all.  I found your board and I've been reading it the last few days, it felt right like home, so I thought I would just jump in. 

I'm a female, age 58, living in Louisiana, but born and raised in Texas.  I'll always be a Texan! I've been posting on a popular "conservative" board for many, many years and I'm hating it that I now have to put the conservative in quotes. It's turned into a batwing crazy Donald Trump fan board. In the last months I've felt like I was posting on Democrat Underground.  I give the facts with links and the response is vile insults because they won't address anything that is truth.

Anyway, I love talking politics and just about anything with fellow conservatives.  I hope I can make some new friends that feel like old friends here  :smile:

I really welcome opposing views and enjoy a good respectful debate.  What I don't like is giving a reasoned view with links to support my facts and having a reply that consists of telling me I'm a stupid cow. Go Trump!  LOL. 

Don't get me wrong, some posts deserve a derisive response, and I can appreciate a humorous zing even when it's directed at me, but stupid cow is just  lame.

Hello, I'm Melissa.
I just thought I would sign up and share something that i think is very important, since it does tend to target and defame Conservatives. A friend directed me to a petition which I think would be very helpful in stopping, at temporialy the conditioning of people in colleges through extreme leftists professors. It is to suspend social "justice" courses because it is has gotten out of control and people have turned it into the opposite of what they say they're doing. This is not censorship on freedom of speech, social justice warriors online appoint themselves as some sort of 'opinion police' so i think they need to take a seat and assess for a moment. It would do some good. Stop the Marxist from teaching extremism radcial ideology to youths.
So check it out for yourselves and if you agree, sign it and share it around.

Hi, I'm new here, thought it would be polite to say hello first before participating.

I live part-time in TO, Canada and Kamchatka, Russia.
Have to recover at home from 2 broken ribs with strict orders from dr to not move for a few days, so missing human conversation, my cat does not want to talk  :roll eyes:

My family is Kozak (Russian & Ukrainian)/Siberian/Mongolian, I lean to the Right, love watching American politics right now (I think I'm leaning closer to libertarians though). Have been traveling to US a lot lately, latest trip was to Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge (TN) and Pittsburg, America is beautiful but don't worry, I won't be an immigrant in your country, Im happy where I am :)

I'm always working hard on improving my English, please be kind if my grammar is awkward.

You'll find we are the epitome of Conservatism, in that we are in no way Republicans, in fact, we disdain the RNC and what the party has become.
The majority on this forum believe in our Founders ideals and the Bill of Rights, everything else is a leftist distraction and a way for the GOP to capitulate to the left, while claiming to protect our liberties.

I'm noticing a lot of #RussianDidIt jokes by your Democrats and some Republicans, blaming us for every little thing that's gone wrong or right in your latest election. I hope I don't offend anyone here but I like Trump so far, hoping he'll develop thicker skin though and not react to every silly insult.

For the most part this forum backed Ted Cruz, the constitutionalist, and in no way supported Trump because the GOP only supported Trump to kill of Cruz, though we do now because, in the end, he is our President.
We have hope that he'll mostly be Conservative but won't hold our breath on that considering much of what he campaigned on contradicted itself nearly daily.
But we're also glad that a Marxist didn't win, aside from the fact most of us refused to support someone that campaigned to the left for the lib vote and openly stated he didn't need the Conservative vote to win.

Most of us believe the "it was Russians" line is nothing more than an effort at distraction by a party who ran a terrible candidate that had no message other than four more years of Obama policies. That being said, we also recognize Putin for the thug that he is.

Many love an enemy they can see, and an old Commie is a perfect scapegoat for many to focus on.
Personally, I think Putin has done a fine job for the Russian people, geopolitically speaking, is another subject altogether, especially when considering his main opponent is an arrogant, ignorant, ideological child Muscum Marxist that had no business interfering in the Middle East whatsoever.
Expect things to change dramatically now that Obozo is about to be kicked to the curb.

I have to say, I'm excited that my country and yours might be able (maybe?) to have official ties finally, it's been very sad 8 years. I truly hope we can one day become allies. 
One thing Americans do not understand that if Russians had a different leader, who is more European Union-friendly, Russia would suffer a lot more from Islamic terrorist attacks than she does now. Also, Putin only accepted a small few Syrian refugees, all of them Christian only. But that's another conversation.

Agree! That's the thing, Putin does what's best for his people and their nation, while our elected officials do what's best for them and the monied interests that put them in office.
Granted the Conservatives in the GOP are night and day from the rest of the party, those, the leftist GOP (RINO) holding power in the party give the left everything they ask for, never once considering the future of our nation.
It's these same people that helped run up our deficit to the point it can never realistically be paid down.

Yes, with all of Putin's faults and how he was handed his hat by Americans and Europeans, he does a lot of things to fiercely protect his own homeland, I deeply respect him for this.

No, the party split long ago over Goldwater in the early 1960's when the leftists in the party helped kill off his political career with the help of LBJ on the dim side.
It literally comes down to people on the Right that believe in our Founding ideals, VS leftists that care nothing for the nation, and it's those leftist GOP that made deals with the leftist Dim party that created the mess we're in today.
The world would be a happier and far more peaceful place if Conservatives were in power in the US.

I have long believed Russia and the USA has many common reasons to be allies and being non adversarial would be of benefit to both. You have not shared your age so we do not know your point of reference. I visited St.Petersburg in 2002 just when Russia was trying embrace capitalism. What struck me is most people over 40 seemed lost. They did not seem to know what to do with their new freedoms and the responsibility of being free. Whereas, those younger seemed really excited about their newly found freedoms.

As for Putin, he has been tough on radical Muslims which he should be. However, I see him as a narcicisist who desires to put the old Soviet Union back together. This would not be good for Russia or the West. I can assure you the West only wants peace and has no intentions of trying to defeat a Russia that also coexists in peace.

Americans have trouble with slang. Blacks for example originate many of our phrases and once whites are heard adopting them, the blacks invent something new. The exact same thing applies between generations of all colors. What also applies is that the "truths" these code phrases are meant to hide are never new, never original, and never solved.

I met a guy in his late 30s that asked if I'd ever heard of Steely Dan, Journey, Doobie Brothers.
I said, of course, they were huge in the 70s, he was so excited that he met someone that actually remembered music from the 70s.
My look to the kid that just made me feel like a dusty old history book, was. :glare:

For most of us, the 70s were just yesterday, the end of Nam, the rise of Carter that ushered in Reagan a precursor to the Conservative movement coming back.
Sad thing is, for many young voters today, 911 is only found in history books.

If you want the Conservative perspective from people that lived it, stick around. Our take on things is nothing like you've ever heard before.

My real favorites are 40s and 50s music.
I was raised around polka and swing. Polka as in the old country German polka from the 18th and 19th century, though I never thought much of it at the time, thought it really hokey, I often wonder what people think when they hear it playing in my truck today. :biggrin:

I'm just now discovering American country music and I love it so much, especially what people now call classics :)
Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, John Denver, Glen Campbell...etc etc
I grew up on Kozak folk music (curved swords, horses & hard booze), similar I think sentiment as some of your classic country music I think.

Did you hear, almost every member of the Alexandrov ensemble singers died in a plane crash few weeks back, we're still mourning, it was a very tough loss.

So that was the Tu-154 crash I heard about? I wondered about that because the news only said Russian Military officials.
Such a loss.

I'm just now discovering American country music and I love it so much, especially what people now call classics :)
Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, John Denver, Glen Campbell...etc etc
I grew up on Kozak folk music (curved swords, horses & hard booze), similar I think sentiment as some of your classic country music I think.

The folks you mentioned are true country. Country music today has morphed into rock.

We can't have every performer doing Patsy Cline or other Grand Ole Opry classic performers FOREVER. If you're a purist the Alan Lomax recordings of true roots music are now available, or any number of "side genres," but yes, the present country scene DOES have its rock-and-roller influences...and always have. Jerry Lee Lewis, anyone?

Willie Nelson wrote "Crazy." Who hasn't heard of him? You don't hear him doing Waylon Sr. ripoffs, do you?

TRUE country is HEARTFELT country. The instruments and arrangements and audio tricks mean nothing without it. American music, plain and clear --- the songs of who we are.

They all did, including Hank Williams Sr., whose steel guitar in "So Lonesome I Could Cry" reminds me so strongly of this:

I hear black juke joints in there. And hillbilly shitkickers missing teeth. And also in there are performers at the top of their game. What's changed? What's truly changed?

Good music crosses genres. Country accepted its outlaws onto that sacred Opryland stage. Its old road dogs went to porches or under the sod and the folk music of America blended genres, as we always have. Country is folk, folk is country. It's our music. Ours.

In my area now the new stores are making bigger parking areas for long bed pu trucks. As it's all farm land around them.  This is making the older stores do the same and reline there parking lots for the long beds trucks.  But most places don't have the room, so there being left out in the cool.

Yep, most are reserved for the middle of the lot so trucks with trailers have a place to park.
In my area, many are livestock rigs or heavy equipment haulers.

Guys who work hard for a living usually know the best places to eat, and any restaurant that values their customer base will always make accommodations for the diehards.

If you get a chance venture out West, like, Arizona, Texas, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Nevada even the Eastern part of Ca and get a feel for what true America is.

Exactly! A friend of mine loved European history and architecture, been there several times, but the last time she went, she ventured out in the rural countryside and was totally shocked at how people were so much nicer and trusting than their city counterpart.
Same with anywhere you go I guess. City people are usually self absorbed and too pressed for time and generally inconvenienced if interrupted.
Country people tend to welcome outsiders unless they're obvious city dwellers, then we just fuck with them. :lol:

For background, follow Trump's criticism of the media which led to all-out war against his campaign, and media hysteria once he defied them and won, anyway.

Welcome. Please stick around awhile and you will begin to see what true conservatives really.

First, as far as most of us are concerned Trump is not a true conservative and was not true conservatives first choice. He is more of a populist. However, he has appointed some folks who are conservative. Based on what you shared as to your beliefs you are on the way to being a conservative. Please feel free to ask questions as I am pretty sure where you get your news it is leftist leaning.

Oh my, I've seen the making of a sausage :unsure:

But when I say I find American politics odd...consider something like healthcare: everybody here supports the NHS; liberals, socialists, and conservatives alike (though all have different ideas on how to improve it) but in the States public health care is an exclusively liberal/socialist position I think. Also liberal and socialist seem to mean the same thing and I cannot emphasize how WEIRD that is to me.

In our political lexicon socialist and liberal are the same. People are now figuring them out and they are trying to relabel themselves as progressive.

Conservatives do not like public health care because it removes the individual from making their own decisions concerning health care.

Everything the government touches, it destroys.  Look at the California infrastructure right now.  Look at the VA. We don't want a crappy health system like the NHS or some other third world system.

It's just weird because liberals here are very different from socialists. Liberals support free trade, free market, and individualism. Socialists tend to favor greater state intervention into unprofitable industries, confusing regulation and a nationalization of the means of production. Conservatives are really big on barriers to free trade, security, and strong borders. Each label is different from the other.

Conservatives are really big on barriers to free trade, security, and strong borders. Each label is different from the other.
Interesting. Here is literally split left and right, with socialist Marxists/communist on the left, and Liberty/Freedom loving free mkt capitalists on the right.
The left have so divided everyone, that they destroyed the middle as well as killed off their own party.

I believe there is a confusion about the naming of different political concepts made in the public intentionally in order to mislead the people. Meaning of the words are being intentionally turned upside down. What we call "liberal" in Europe still usually means "classical liberal", while in America "classical liberals" are now being called "libertarians", which term is not in use in Europe, and that is because the modern Americans who call themselves "liberals" are actually the very opposite of being liberal, they are authoritarian socialists. People are being mislead that "conservative" and "liberal" are opposite to each other, which is not true. Here is a short explanation of some opposite political ideas.

Authoritarian vs. Liberal
Conservative vs. Progressive
Nationalist vs. Internationalist

So, for example, American conservatives (Republicans) are also liberal nationalists. :smile: They are conservative because they want to preserve the Constitution, and that Constitution is liberal, in meaning that it protects individual liberty, and they are also nationalists because they love their nation the best and are not being much interested in the rest of the world. Their opposite side (Democrats) are therefore progressive authoritarian internationalists. They are progressive because they want to change the Constitutional values to something they believe is better, they are authoritarian because they want more state intervention over the life of an individual, and they are internationalists because they are, well, Marxist. :smile: But I am aware that the term "nationalist" has a negative meaning in America, don't know why. If they love their nation, then they are nationalists, at least from the European perspective, where nationalist usually equals patriotic.

Castro and Mussolini were Nationalists, so relative to recent times, the term takes on a militaristic meaning, one carrying the connotation of a coup.

Oh, thank you for this explanation. I was struggling to understand why for example calling Vladimir Putin a nationalist would have had a negative meaning. In Europe, only communists and "progressives/liberals" are against nationalism, and if you came to Europe and talked against nationalism, everyone would have assumed you were a commie or a "progressive/liberal". Because communists and "progressives/liberals" are globalists, they believe in international communist revolution and a global government which should control the world, while on the other side nationalists are anti-communists and anti-globalists, they believe in preservation of traditional and conservative values.

It's funny in a way, but the only reason libs here are different from libs in Europe, is their need to usurp new monikers to confuse the masses.
Conservatives have always known who we are, but liberals have changed their name on a regular basis, latest being Progressives until its history was exposed as Marxists. What they use next is anyone's guess.

From an American's POV, we've watched nation's collapsed by communists/socialists via a claim for Democracy by dividing the nation and driving it into anarchy, (part of the plan) then the Commies come back in under another moniker, claim this group or that group as the enemy eg. Hitler and the Jews, then rally the nation under the nationalist banner and once in control plunge it into a dictatorship.

It's one thing to have nationalist pride, it's another to be a Nationalist. Just look at some Nationalist sites, you'll the hand of anarchists driving them into division, into extremist groups, this is just one of the steps in divide and conquer.
America is unique, in that we are a mixed bag of cultures under the banner of shared values of liberty and Freedom, and in order to destroy this harmony, one needs to pit one group against another and racism is an excellent place to start, as evidenced by Black Lives matter, convince people they are the victims, while white people experience hate, further driving them together as a group and the division continues.

Yes, we know where Nationalism leads, even though by itself it's a great thing overall, assuming all races and cultures share its true meaning as a homogeneous society.

I don't know, I think it was the leftist mass media that has given nationalism a bad name, they tend to label all kinds of extremists as nationalists. Because, Marxists believe that different nations are dividing the humanity as a whole and causing wars, and so the Marxist agenda is to kill all nations and establish one world with one government through an international revolution which would bring the eternal peace. (So basically they are the avant-garde to Anti-Christ.) On the other side, a true nationalist believes in a diverse world consisted of different and unique nations. One problem with nationalism is that it can easily become chauvinism and turn against the other nations.

I believe that nationalism is more of a solution than a problem. Being a patriot is a passive state, in which one is just a loyal citizen to his country, and the opposite of a patriot would be a traitor. But, for example, what if a Christian country decides to welcome the flood of Muslim migrants? What is a patriot then to do? Just to remain loyal? No, that would be suicidal, and Europe is currently full of patriots who are killing their own nations, believing that accepting poor Muslim refugees is a patriotic thing to do, and that their nationalists are traitors. On the other side, being a nationalist means to actively work on the national idea. Nationalist emotion brings more new energy and will to fight and sacrifice for the nation.

For example, if Jews were just patriots but not nationalists, they would have remained loyal citizens to their respective countries, but they would have never had enough energy and will for such an enterprise to move to Israel and establish a national state there. Look at Rabbi Meir Kahane, in the leftist mass media he has been labeled as "Jewish Nazi" or "Jewish ultranationalist". But, what he was fighting for was just the common sense. He was stating that Israel is a Jewish national state, which it is, and that if they allow Arabs to become equal citizens, having in mind the higher Arab birth rate, it would destroy Israel as a Jewish national state and made it just another Arab state. Isn't that just the truth? Whether Israel should exist as a state or not is another question, but it was successfully established and preserved in the most possible hostile environment only due to nationalist efforts.

Then, there is the French National Front, the major European nationalist political party, that has also been labeled in the leftist mass media as "Nazi" and "racist", because they believe that France should be the French national state, and that French people can only be white, but not Arab or black. I don't know, is it not just the truth, that France is, and should remain, the French national state, and that the French people are only white? To me, their politics are just the common sense. If France doesn't remain white, if it becomes predominantly Arab or black, it will no longer be France anymore. Of course, most nations are not completely racially pure, and they can't be, except if they live on isolated islands, like Japan or Iceland, but there must be some limit which preserves the original identity.

I am aware that the United States were founded as a country of immigrants, but these immigrants were originally white Christians and Jews, and the American Constitution was written for white Christians and Jews, that is just the truth. And you can see that the black and Mexican Americans are generally having difficulties to understand and accept the original American values. So, their respective nationalisms could create even more issues and divide the country, but also American nationalism could provide the solution. (I don't mean the final solution, ha ha.) For example, to actively teach them better the original American values, why are they good and worthy of fighting and sacrificing for. I don't know for the Black Lives Matter, or the feminists, or any other kind of leftist mob, do they want to be Americans or not, and if they do want, then why don't they embrace the American values? It is a simple question for them to decide. The problem is they are used to live in a good surrounding, and they don't know what is like to live in another kind of society. Maybe you should send them to live in Somalia under anarchy, or in Saudi Arabia under the Sharia law for a while.

This guy for example is making a great point.

Hello all...   If I've learned one thing, over and over from this forum, the foundation of everything we hold true and dear is wrapped up in the Constitution.   The labels, Conservative, TEA, RINO, Libertarian are just without substance if the ideas these groups profess can't be clearly traced back to the Constitution/Bill of Rights.

The Marxists / Liberals / Socialists are playing the long game, which gathered a lot of steam under Obama, and might take decades to roll back with this lack-luster Senate/Congress.   For me personally, this has been a good place to echo some thoughts, hear/read great discourse, and develop compelling arguments to present the Constitutional Conservative position elsewhere.  I hope you can intellectually profit as I have, in such a short time.  Welcome.

Hey folks!  New to these boards.  Got tired of listening to all the C%$p on Facebook from the libs.  Wanted to find a space I could express my true conservative feelings without a bunch of crap.  Glad to find this space.  I'm a southerner, retired military (Navy), and seriously right wing.  Me and Attila the Hun would've gotten along great.  Well, according to all the libs I talk to anyways.  Economically I'm pretty libertarian.  Small government, states rights to control their own economy, not too much (if any) interference from the feds.  Don't care for racists - of whatever stripe.  Wouldn't call myself a white nationalist, but would call myself a US nationalist.  (as if there's something wrong with that!)  As for LGBTQ issues, I really don't care what you do in the privacy of your bedroom.  Not any of my business.  But I liked the old days in the military of don't ask don't tell and think it should be applied to the rest of the society - including straight folks.  The entire world should be in the closet when it comes to your sexual preferences.  I really don't want to know.  TMI, dude! 

Big Trump supporter here.  He's frickin' great!  I laugh every time he does something off the wall.  Just blows away the swamp.  About time.  He really energized me.  I was too apathetic before, but I always voted.  Full confession - about 20+ years ago, I voted for a dem (not Clinton, local race).  Please forgive me.  It was a case of youthful indiscretion.

I was up in DC vacationing recently (my brother lives up there) and went to see the White House.  Sure enough a big protest was going on.  Headed up by Rosie O'Donnell herself.  It put me a little over the edge.  I just said I don't want to talk to these folks anymore.  I'm sick of their constant whining.  "oooh, I'm a victim."  You're a daggum millionaire who's never had to work hard your whole life.  And you're ugly too.  That's what finally prompted me to find a decent online space where I can just vent without having to listen to their stuff.  Hoping this place is it.

What else?  Married for 25 years plus.  Kids out of the home.  Still working for now for a small government contractor, but may completely retire soon.  I mean why work?  I got military pension, savings, and soon enough SS.  (provided that last isn't taken away).

Anything else you want to know, let me know.

Hey folks!  New to these boards.  Got tired of listening to all the C%$p on Facebook from the libs.  Wanted to find a space I could express my true conservative feelings without a bunch of crap.  Glad to find this space.  I'm a southerner, retired military (Navy), and seriously right wing.  Me and Attila the Hun would've gotten along great.  Well, according to all the libs I talk to anyways.  Economically I'm pretty libertarian.  Small government, states rights to control their own economy, not too much (if any) interference from the feds.  Don't care for racists - of whatever stripe.  Wouldn't call myself a white nationalist, but would call myself a US nationalist.  (as if there's something wrong with that!)  As for LGBTQ issues, I really don't care what you do in the privacy of your bedroom.  Not any of my business.  But I liked the old days in the military of don't ask don't tell and think it should be applied to the rest of the society - including straight folks.  The entire world should be in the closet when it comes to your sexual preferences.  I really don't want to know.  TMI, dude! 

Big Trump supporter here.  He's frickin' great!  I laugh every time he does something off the wall.  Just blows away the swamp.  About time.  He really energized me.  I was too apathetic before, but I always voted.  Full confession - about 20+ years ago, I voted for a dem (not Clinton, local race).  Please forgive me.  It was a case of youthful indiscretion.

I was up in DC vacationing recently (my brother lives up there) and went to see the White House.  Sure enough a big protest was going on.  Headed up by Rosie O'Donnell herself.  It put me a little over the edge.  I just said I don't want to talk to these folks anymore.  I'm sick of their constant whining.  "oooh, I'm a victim."  You're a daggum millionaire who's never had to work hard your whole life.  And you're ugly too.  That's what finally prompted me to find a decent online space where I can just vent without having to listen to their stuff.  Hoping this place is it.

What else?  Married for 25 years plus.  Kids out of the home.  Still working for now for a small government contractor, but may completely retire soon.  I mean why work?  I got military pension, savings, and soon enough SS.  (provided that last isn't taken away).

Anything else you want to know, let me know.

Welcome Slider. You'll find you fit Right in, most of us are old farts that vote, We're TEA, and like you, not racist in any way, but to define us, I prefer a term I coined: "Culturalist", I prefer the culture that made this country the greatest in history, anything less is just leftist division.
Again, welcome.

Well, I am technically not a newbie.  I registered here about 5-6 years ago, and posted a tiny bit, but had some personal catastrophes that took my attention from politics, and I never made it back, until now.
I am known as Tiny1.  One of the First TRUE Trump Supporters.  I am in my Sixties, and remember every POTUS since Kennedy.  Was a Republican for years, but Changed to Independent Conservative during the GHW Bush Administration.  I still have never voted for a Democrud.  I was forced out of a couple of Right Minded Forums, for not being a Cruz Bot.  You would have thought I was being attacked by Democraps.  Then, once I was vindicated by Trump as he showed everyone he was a Great President and really knew how to get things done, I was already dealing with my wife's loss of a Kidney, ands my TIA mini strokes, caused because I gained back most of the over 100 lbs I had lost.  Since then, concentrating on my health, has been a full time affair.
I left another forum because the Admin was protecting Leftists Internationale.  She claimed I was insinuating "sinister" motives to her actions, and I disagreed and told her I was implying NOTHING.  I was stating implicitly that I believed she was favoring foreign posters and protecting them to expand the forum.    Since I told her it is her right to run her board, it was my right, to move my feet.  So, I did.
Gonna Try to revive myself, here, if y'all don't mind.  Getting to be 'lection time again, and I need to get my political itch scratched.

I never was a Trump supporter. I was fed up with the GOP RINO forcing leftists on us, so I backed Cruz. Long story short, I'm glad Cruz didn't 'win, only a man of Trump's caliber could do what he has done, and there is no other like him, God broke the mold, sadly.

Oh, we won't hold that against you. :laugh:
I was completely frustrated with the Pubbies, too.  And,  I hate the Dems.  So, I initially took to Trump, because he was neither.
Upon doing my Due Diligence, I began to find out things, no one else was talking about.  Like how Trump sent his own 727 to bring a 3 year old Jewish boy to New York for a much needed surgery.  The Airlines wouldn't help, because the boy required O2, Suction and Adrenalin to make the flight.  The plane would require an upfit.  The Airlines refused the upfit.
Trump was notified and had his own plane equipped and brought the boy STAT.  I liked the way he performed on 9/11. And when I read about how he took on the City Council of Palm Beach to force them to allow him to enroll Blacks and Jews into his Country Club, I was Sold.
I knew the Lobbyists couldn't buy him.
I knew he owed Washington Insiders, nothing.
And I knew he was a decent man, who loved his Family and his Country.  Unafraid to speak of God and Christ, the deal was sealed.
My dear Sweet Loving Wife, had NEVER voted.  Being a California Girl, it was never stressed in her family.(Ms. Tiny's Mom was a Hillarite.)  She MADE me take her to register and prodded me to take her to vote.   I have never seen her more proud than when she was wearing her Make America Great Again pin.
Oh Well, I wax nostalgic.  Going home, now.  Se ya' tomorrow.

How's it going everyone? New to these boards and looking for a place to talk conservative politics. I'm a 29 year old Floridian and Christian. Most of my political views are libertarian, as I'm for small government and personal liberty, though not as socially liberal as most libertarians. I'm a strong 2a supporter viewing gun control laws as unconstitutional, I'm pro-life, pro-cannabis legalization, for criminal justice reform (decriminalizing drug use/harsher sentencing for selling/trafficking etc), I'm ok with same sex marriage, as I feel what goes on in anyone's bedroom or who you decide to marry isn't government's business. However, I'm a strong believer that there are only 2 genders and disagree with gender identity being given the place it is being given. Anyone is free to identify as whatever they want to identify as, but the government should not consider you the gender you identify as, nor should it force others, to include employers and other citizens to treat you as such. I'm also a strong 4a supporter and believe the government has been given far too much power in the name of terrorism. I'm a free market capitalist, believing the government should have little to no involvement in the free market. I support auditing the federal reserve and eliminating unnecessary federal agencies. As far as foreign policy, I believe wars should only be fought in defense of our country, however, I have no problems with special operations units training and advising foreign militaries/militias in the fight against terrorism. I would favor cuts to defense spending, so long as we could maintain the world's best trained and technologically advanced military. I agree with increasing border security (a.k.a building the wall), deporting illegal immigrants (though I favor paths to citizenship for those that have been here more than 10 years, have created a family, and pay taxes/can prove they have been working). Though I may not agree with him on everything, I am a strong Trump supporter and believe he is the president America needed after Obama. I believe he has done an admirable job and has been the best president in my lifetime. I'd like to see him give Rand Paul a spot on his cabinet if re-elected in 2020 and believe somebody like Rand Paul should be the future of the Republican Party.

I look forward to discussions on here and learning more, as mainstream media becomes increasingly unreliable. If you have any questions, ask away.

Any other libertarian leaning Republicans on here?

29 year old, you have time to become a full Conservative yet.  Most of us were Conservative before you were born.  So we know what small government should be like.  Along with our 1 and 2 amendment rights, most of us feel out rights come from God that why we have the 1 and 2 amendments.

It will be fun seeing you change on most things if you stick around.

Don't get me wrong, I don't consider myself a full blown libertarian. I just know there are several issues (mostly social) the average Republican doesn't agree with me on, at least from what I've gathered by conversing with many over the years. I definitely used to be a lot more libertarian when I was younger, think several years back when the Ron Paul craze was a thing.

Quick hit:

1 - Should homosexuality be hidden from children?

2 - Should homosexuals be allowed to adopt?

3 - If 1 is yes, and 2 is yes, then how would you reconcile?

4 - Why cut defense spending? Would it not make more sense to eliminate fraud, corruption, and waste?

5 - Should firearms training be a curriculum in elementary school?

Truth is, you're a Conservative in the Classic Liberal sense. Libertarian was nothing more than a rebellion from the corrupt two party system. They were well intentioned, they were unfortunately bastardized and destroyed by the GOP(long story), but suffice it to say there is no Libertarian movement.
What we're seeing today is the Base, that would be you, are taking over the GOP and dragging them, kicking and screaming back to the Right and killing off those that refuse to follow.

You, me, and the base are the majority of the nation and in sync with our demands of what we want in a govt. Granted, we may all not agree on everything, but we all want a smaller, less invasive govt.
Glad you're here Patriot...

We would eliminate the IRS with a flat tax, which should be followed by an audit of the federal reserve, which would be followed by eliminating other federal agencies. The end goal would be to repeal the 16th, which I feel would naturally follow after we establish a flat tax, abolish the IRS, increase spending cuts, and abolish other federal agencies.

4 - Why cut defense spending? Would it not make more sense to eliminate fraud, corruption, and waste?

5 - Should firearms training be a curriculum in elementary school?

1 - I want to say yes, but....
2 - Yes, though I believe homosexuality is against the word of god, I'm also a law enforcement officer and have seen what happens when the state has custody of children. I'd much rather have them in a household than in the hands of government. I also believe that the government should not govern based off religious doctrine, what people choose to do with other people is between them and god. At the end of the day, children in custody of the state is a burden on the tax payer.
3 - see above, and going back to 1, homosexuality shouldn't be something children are taught about. When I was growing up, it was just something you discovered was a thing and naturally, I remember thinking it was distasteful as did other kids. I believe it's best to just leave it that way. I don't believe it is something natural, thus it should not be taught as a norm.
4 - I don't doubt that corruption, fraud, and waste occurs within the DOD as well. As I said before, I'd be in favor of cutting some defense spending in order to reduce overall federal spending. This is a good read, https://www.downsizinggovernment.org/defense/plan-cut-military-spending
5 - I favor a system which would reduce the Department of Education's role and would allow states to run more private or charter schools that promote school choice and the liberty of parents and administrators to put together curriculums, which could include firearms training.

Hi I'm new. I'm from Missouri and I'm 26. I'm glad to find a place to chat with other like minded patriots. My political stance is far-right and I've been a registered Republican ever since I was old enough to vote. See you all around.

I've been a closet conservative and Trump supporter, mainly because the lefties are hard headed.  They usually don't change until it starts to hit home.  These are strange times.  I look around and I don't see the USA, I just see weirdos and radicals.  I used to get a good laugh out of leftist policies until I realized that lives are at stake and lives have been lost, from the unborn on up... and we're supposed to be the bad guys!?  On a more positive note, glad to be here in the dungeon with you evil conservatives.

Welcome Patriot. :thumbup:


COOL!  We're neighbors.  I was born in St. Louis, but have lived most of my life in Kansas.  I just moved to Lansing (Leavenworth country) last year and just starting to get to know my area.

I believe I'm looking forward to this site.  I think I won't be returning to TPF after finding a forum on there where basically members who have been there a while just seem to enjoy BASHING others behind a closed door.  I find that SOOOO incredibly unprofessional, not to mention undesirable for a conservative site.  If you can't say what you believe need to be said to someone's face, then you shouldn't say it at all.  Some of these were people I had respect for from some of the articles they'd posted, and some of there discussions.  It was disappointing to see them act like liberals/dems/socialists etc.

I looked over this site, and didn't see anything like that...I'm glad to say.  ;o)

Thank you for the welcome.  I'm a musician, so it stands for Make American Music Great Again.  As far as being closeted, I've never felt comfortable disclosing or debating my political beliefs.  I feel that it's very tough to change people, so what's the point?  Many people on the left have no substance to their argument, they just say things like Trump is a fat racist with orange skin.

You are so right. We cannot change leftists, so we concentrate on beating them. Their change has to come from within.

Back to the intro:
Churchill was wrong:  If you were ever a Liberal you may have a heart, but it is not pumping blood to your brain.
Yes I have a Physics Degree, and several others.
I am also a Hunter, love bowhunting.  Lately mostly big game.  I eat what I kill, when it isn't vermin.

Worked DoD R&D most of my career.
We homeschool.
And, I'm a Calvinist...
First President I voted for was Ronaldus Magnus.

I have a couple of friends that I followed here. 
I have been sanctioned exactly once on about 100K posts other Forums, I was banned by a bunch of Anti-Semites, masquerading as conservatives, I consider it a badge of honour.

Greetings! I'm a life long conservative but associated with no political party. After watching presidents come and go from both parties, and nothing substantial changing, I became disillusioned with all things Washington. I saw the country slipping towards socialism with nobody seeming to care. The rot and stench of the swamp became overwhelming. Then along comes this jackass with orange hair and actually starts to fulfill the promises he made. WTF! Hope starts to rise from the murky depths and I find myself cheering him on.
I live in the middle of a blue swill pot called the San Francisco Bay area. Not too many like minded people around here so I decided to seek out my own. Thanks for taking me into your fold.
I worked at a local TV station for many years, in a technical capacity, and watched the steady downfall of the news first hand. As revenues decreased, I was tossed out with the trash and have never looked back. I didn't realize what a toxic environment I was working in until I left.
In my spare time I like to work in my little blacksmith shop. There's nothing like pounding on hot metal to wash away stress. I also have 4 grown kids who keep moving back home in spite of my best efforts to convince them otherwise. Never a dull moment around the homestead.
I'm nothing special, just trying to stay sane in this crazy place.

Then welcome home CP!

I too am a Ca native of many decades and I know what you went through. I watched the bay Area disintegrate under what was considered the libertarian ideal, only to have their "Live and let live" belief be used against them and forcing them to accept Marxism as a lifestyle.
I can expand on this if necessary, but suffice it to say, I used to love the Bay in the late 50s and early 60s.

As Sup pointed out, most of us fight the RINO Establishment and focus on purging the scum from the GOP with a goal of one day taking it over.
I too never trusted the Orangeman, but as time went by, became a strong supporter of his take no prisoners style.

Thanks for the welcome! I was a Republican years ago until I couldn't tell the difference between the two parties. I'm also hoping a new crop of patriots comes in on the Trump wave to rebuild the party.
San Francisco has gone from being a beautiful city to a stinking cesspool. Gavin Newsom is now doing to the state what he did to the city. As a third generation Bay Area native I'm seriously thinking about getting out of Dodge.

I remember going to Letterman General Hospital in San Francisco when my brother was shot in Nam.
When we first arrived, there was a beautiful park near by, nice place, hippies hanging out, hot chicks in sun dresses and flowers in their hair, nothing unusual, but as time went by, our returns showed a rapid change over nearly a year.
It started with a guy in his 30s dressed in a Naru jacket sporting a Karl Marx beard, a literal look alike, bongos between his legs, a month or so later, all the chicks were high on acid, the entire scene was surreal.

By the time he got out of the hospital, the park was a wreck, everyone looked like Hell and they were chanting anti war propaganda.
The cancer was spreading and the city was doomed.

Yes, "Free love" and drugs are and most definitely were at the time a cancer on society and acid had a very telling/enlightening effect and in the hands of a skilled individual, one could mold a group of people taking it, even make leaders out of many.
Just look at some of the commies that came out of SF in the early 60s and each and everyone of them were doing acid. The transformation spread so rapidly throughout the Bay Area, most had no idea how to deal with it. History proves they failed to deal with it.

Why are you under the illusion I misspelled the name of a look that played such a damaging part in our culture/history?

Thank you PH, but we're the judge of who's conservative and who's not.  The name has been hijacked by the Marxists, so we verify.  Also, some come pretending to be conservatives, and we weed them out pretty quick.

This is conservative boot camp.

I like CJ, she's a good poster, but this forum is not for the weak of skin, CJ shouldn't take this forum personal, no one else does. We tell it like it is, we post the truth, even when it doesn't help our side, because that's what being a Conservative means, taking the good with the bad.

Look, we've spent decades watching the GOP coddle, turning the other cheek, walking the PC path so as not to upset the other side. They kept us quelled as they sold us out to the left.
The GOP Establishment is this Nation's biggest enemy and now that the Dim party is dead, we're taking out the RINO

We started this forum to tell the truth and to create a Sanctuary for Conservative thought in the war against PC, we didn't create it to tell lies to others or handle the truth with kid gloves.
This is not Faceplant or any social media platform, this is real life and it's a bitch.

When Taxed and I started this site 10 years ago, People had no clue what being a true Conservative meant. Then the GOP started using it in hopes of holding onto the base when they feared TEA would obliterate them, now everyone on the right is suddenly Conservative, and nothing could be further from the truth!

Conservatives don't go along to get along, we set the standard for everyone else to follow and if that path seems to rough, too bad.
We don't coddle, nor do we apologize, we're in a war to take back this nation and the last thing we need is a twisted ankle holding up the company.
We have decades in politics, and I don't have time nor patience to hold hands.

This forum is a tough one, probably the toughest one out there. If someone believes something, then they need to convince others why they go against common wisdom, and if they can't that's OK too and we all move on in search of common ground against the enemy.

I agree that we're in a domestic war. I wouldn't call it a civil war because the left is anything but civil. :wink:  The constitution is under serious attack and needs vigorous defending.
This is a different mode of conflict. It's mostly being fought through the internet. The keyboard is mightier than the sword and we need to engage the opposition on the battlefield of ideas. Our best weapon is knowledge, backed by facts and delivered in a respectful but firm manner. 
This a great forum, but we still need to venture out to liberal territory and engage in dialog. Everybody likes to watch a fight, and it's those non participants are who we need to focus on. We will rarely convince the hardcore liberal combatant to change their views, but we can influence the fence sitters.

Well said! This is why we cater to our readers as much as we do, a silent yet deadly group of people. They're the ones who take our ideas, our arguments and spread them on other social media sources while combating leftist lies.
For us, it is all about consistency of thought when it comes to messaging.

Thank you PH, but we're the judge of who's conservative and who's not.  The name has been hijacked by the Marxists, so we verify.  Also, some come pretending to be conservatives, and we weed them out pretty quick.

This is conservative boot camp.

<snip video>

No prob, we all have our guard up with new places or people.
When I interview people for my company, I usually surprise them by telling them they should be interviewing the company as much as we are them...

It's like boxing, only one instruction counts, defend yourself at all times.  :biggrin:

Keep in mind, everyone who comes here is a guest in this old House and need to either read and learn who and what we are, or move on, we are not changing for any guest, nor do we cut slack because someone's feelings might get hurt. We don't have the time nor patience to babysit.
We're not here for the faint of heart, we're at war on the front-lines!

Our message to others reading, is join and jump Right in, and if you're truly a conservative, you'll completely understand where we're coming from and fit in perfectly.

We've actually had teens join that get it completely, and for those 50 and older, our belief system is second nature. We are not settling for PC BS, that's what Republicans do (big tent BS). We don't do prejudice, that's what libs do via divide and conquer, Conservatism doesn't know race, it cares nothing for skin color, it only know the laws of our Republic.
But what we will do is call out when someone is willing to compromise our values and those people are immediately ridiculed.

My point is, too many on the Right have no clue what being a conservative is all about because they've been brainwashed into thinking compromise with the enemy can bridge gaps.
You don't give a gun to a murderer, or a puppy to a sociopath, and you definitely NEVER give up your values to a liberal.

We have quite a few mutual friends who I know monitor his page but don't participate. I'm not trying to change his mind, but I may convince a few of the silent ones to think again. It's the small battles we can be most effective in fighting.

Good for you, keep the fight alive as long as you can, because it won't be long before all voices on the right will be banned from leftist sites.
But then, that's just fine, even libs will tire of their echo chambers and seek us out.
Title: Introducing the dirtbomb
Post by: Dirtbomb on May 25, 2020, 08:42:02 AM
That would be me. I was saddled with the handle dirtbombbrown in 1966 when I was a sophomore at Garden Grove High School in California after dethroning the reigning King of the "dozens". I have many targets, I am conservative I am Christian I am white and I am most definitely heterosexual but the biggest target of all is that I'm proud of those things. I don't like pushy people so I would never put those things in anyone's face but I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to defend them.
             In the spirit of transparency I recognized one Fred call on the Forum. I became acquainted with Fred probably eight or 10 years ago on Facebook. It was at that time that my son insisted that I extricate myself from the Stone Age and he brought a computer to my home and insisted on hooking it up to the Internet which he did. I was and still am a computer cream puff and had never participated in any discussions online until Facebook. Fred apparently recognized what an egghead novice I was and schooled me on the In-N-Outs public forum decorum. He was a great help and I will always be thankful that he took me under his wing and nose first early days. I have only visited this site a few times and have only made one other post when I saw Fred's shuffleboard. I'm looking forward to some good discussions here and I hope you all will have patience with me until I become  familiar with the board and the members and so I am hesitant and slow-moving until I become familiar with my surroundings

Quick hit:

1 - Should homosexuality be hidden from children?

2 - Should homosexuals be allowed to adopt?

3 - If 1 is yes, and 2 is yes, then how would you reconcile?

4 - Why cut defense spending? Would it not make more sense to eliminate fraud, corruption, and waste?

5 - Should firearms training be a curriculum in elementary school?

1) I don't think so. I think children should be taught early as they are able to understand what exactly homosexuality is. They should learn that it is unnatural, immoral and a perversion of the natural sexual relationship between a man and a woman.
2) under no circumstances should a homosexual couple be allowed to adopt a child.
3) DNA, I guess that could be considered vague so I will respond with does not apply.
4) absolutely, at least to everyone not benefiting from the Kickbacks and the corruption.
5)  I think every child should be taught the safe use of firearms before they enter Elementary School.

I hope you don't mind me jumping in here I don't mean to step on anyone's toes but being a newbie myself I thought I'd let my beliefs be known on these subjects

I see the CCP has stationed 66 thousand troops along the border. I've been trying to follow this story, but our media sucks if they aren't bashing Trump.

Do you think China is stupid enough to challenge India?
Title: Re: Welcome Thread for New Members
Post by: Estel on October 14, 2020, 07:43:05 AM
I think it is the other way round. India would be stupid enough to challenge China. I'm not being anti-India, just that China is too powerful for us, and we cannot risk taking any chances with China, not now or ever. That's why Modi (PM) is not saying much either. On top of that, we have Pakistan to contend with almost always. We're just surrounded by enemies.

Modi (PM) has banned Chinese apps, so that is some backbone I hope. We're doing what little we can  :smile:

I agree, with Paki's on you heels and China at your throat, doing anything would only empower the other.
Though, with the US as an ally, I assure you, strength is on your side and neither of your direct enemies want to risk a world confrontation.

Hello all, and thank you for the opportunity to participate on this Forum. Post #1

My existence summarized: I've been a forum admin, host and participant going back to the 1988 BBS days. While this in no way makes me an expert, I have a solid understanding of the trials, tribulations, and benefits of these open discussion forums, and those encountered by administrators. I retired in 2014 at 54 after years functioning as an Electrical Engineer, Systems Engineer, PMP, and all certs Microsoft, Cisco, and Junos. Having spent 4.5 years in the ChAir Force in an operational capacity, I maintain strong ties to the community, and ran a board focused on our exploits for almost 20 years, retiring that function in 2007. My other activities are Skydiver, Medic, (SEL) Pilot (since Halloween of 1997), 41 year practitioner of the Martial Arts (a variety of styles - but I still get beat up by the girls), time in Scouting as a young kid, and later adult leader (baby sitter), Softball player, Welder/Woodworker (or so I'd like to think), and ride a BMW Grand America. I owned a private security concern concurrent with my long tenure as an engineer, still teach tactical and situational awareness drills to an increasingly limited group of folk, although I no longer do the stand up/arms crossed crap unless specifically requested. I've been married for 37 years, with three kids either in, out or transitioning from the Air Force. My eldest daughter was Emergency Mgmt in the AF, got out, finished her undergrad, and is working in the civilian sector. My middle daughter was in munitions for years on B1's, transitioned to reserves, just finished her Commercial Pilots endorsement, and is largely through MEI, then CFI and CFII. She's going to complete her undergrad and is being scouted for the A-10 and F-15 Strike Eagle programs. My youngest (son) is a Flight Engineer for the ChAir Force as we speak. We've been in Utah since 1993 and are looking at transitioning back to the deep south. Hard to believe you can Cliff's Notes your life in a single run-on paragraph. Lastly, I am politically hard core conservative (traditional Liberal - small Federal Government, no Federal Debt, no three letter agencies, no Federal taxes not apportioned through Tariffs, no rights or responsibilities over the peoples rights and freedoms beyond the basics of social decorum, the Bill of Rights are inalienable rights of the people to protect them from government, and the governments responsibilities stop at the 10th amendment). The term "Assault Weapon" is a misnomer/amalgam, and a term generated by the government's Assault on private Firearms (weapons, because it sounds ominous) ownership, and lawful application.

I hope this finds you all healthy, prosperous (not including the Federal Debt Magnifying Stimulus Checks), and happy in your endeavors.

Welcome, we shall not rest until all Americans share the values of conservatism.  Teaching the difference between a Republican form of government vs democracy mob rule.

There was a muslim that hated America and it's values.  His assaults' on our Republic gave us one of the greatest Presidents of all times, Donald J Trump.  A man of the people who spoke English as we know it.

I am a Paleo Conservative.  There is only one meaning to our Constitution, our Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence.  The 10th A should have been the last.  The Constitution does not breathe or live.  It is a fixed document on negative powers to the government.  All cabinet and departments are unconstitutional as far as I'm concerned.

The 2nd A gives me the right to own and possess any weapon(s) system I can afford, including all military weapons and equipment.  I have the right to a tank, missiles and explosives should I desirer and can afford it.  No State shall have the right to infringe on those rights.  The States have what is in their rights after the 10th A.  But the 2nd A is our inalienable right, not subject to State restrictions of infringements.

We are at a crossroads.  The swamp thinks they have won.  I can't blame them for feeling that way.  The media is in their back pocket.  RINO's can't find enough "safe" places to cower in.

MAGA, learn it, live it, love it.  Xiden is a Chinese bought and paid for traitor.  He heads the Xiden crime family and should be held for treason.

This is our country.  When John Hancock placed his signature upon the Declaration of Independence, he was joined by Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and 52 other citizens of the colonies who were willing to sacrifice everything for their cause:

"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."

Our time has come.  The Chinese have committed an attack on our country, which internally is being led by Xiden and the marxist party.  Our ability to communicate has been eliminated by big tech, the CCP media and the swamp.  RINO's are joined at the hip to the marxists.  Our President Trump was removed by a coup made up of the marxist party, the CCP and RINO's. 

This is our country.  We are at the cross roads.  It might be time to relearn our history.  It has been over 200 years since the last rise to independence.  There were many that did not want the freedom, same as today.  The ruling swamp creatures have declared without force of law that you shall wear a mask, and most comply without resistance.  The founders risked everything for freedom.  Many today gave that up without a shot being fired.  A hoax was used to enact a coup upon our President Trump.  And there are few good men to stand up and declare as such.  The marxist and the media describe these conservatives as domestic terrorists.

The media, a large part that occupies the alphabet channels, are marxist propagandizer's that carry the water and message of the CCP,  and without shame.  These bastards would have been shot on sight in 1760.

Welcome fellow Texan! I'm also central Texas, Lometa area, I stay out of Austin as much as possible but I have grand kids there so I do venture there now and again. You will find all kinds here, some very good conservatives, and some dip sh-t liberals who want to preach their talking points.

The 4th. A long line of redneck hillbillies and swamp people I guess.

All my grandparents came over after the civil war except for the name I bare.  Don't know much about him but he got my grandmother pregnant after WW2.

Can trace my other roots straight back to Germany and we even have the paperwork from my great grandfathers coming over.  It is really cool.

Good to be here, will hopefully contribute some but I am more of the venting type.  Banning is my middle name I guess for speaking the truth to power.

Oh hi ya'll,  after 72 years of making little and big mistakes I've been called 'pert near every good and bad name and thing capable of being verbalized.  So until you get to know me well enough to resort to one or 'tuhter just call me Walter. 

:smile:

A southern boy born and bred.  I'm about 20-30 mins from what used to be the city of monuments.  Seems like a life time ago.

Retired RR bum after 40 yrs.  The most vivid thing I remember about my last day at work was taking my $40 watch off and laying it on a rail and watch as an engine rolled over it.

The only time that is worth noting now is "is it bedtime yet?"

Well, that's enough of the awe inspiring Life and Times of Judge Walter Ego.  Oh yes I am very judgemental.  I know we shouldn't be but those EeeVeel!, power hungry, deceitful, the American way of life hating scum of the earth known as progressive Lieberals give rise to a contempt that requires judgement.

I personally believe Ronald Reagan was a master politician.  I believe Donald Trump was/is on the same path to greatness.

If / when I am referred to as a Deplorable my head raises high, my chest swells as my shoulders straighten when I reply with firm determination and nice smile and say "Why thank you, aren't you kind."  Drives them to the point of Karen-ism.

Quote from: DonGlock26 on June 06, 2021, 05:21:17 PMHello, everyone. I have kindly been allowed to join via the"back door".
I've been an America First conservative, since I grew up during the dark Carter years.
I'm an Army vet and retired LEO from Michigan.
I feel your pain...
I joined the army under Nixon, but spent the remainder under Carter, morale hit a new low never seen in history.

Welcome to the forum Don. We only let the good ones in through the executive back entrance. :thumbup:

Gooood Mornin' CoN_ServA-Tives!  (think Robin Williams)

First, my thanks to that peachy person in Atlanta who let me in.   :smile:

The thing about being here is it almost has a calming affect to see and read so many like minded people.

Minds rooted in and based on the realities of life and living.  As Samuel Johnson said:  "Hell is paved with good intentions".

The Kum ba yah crowd are paving the way straight to the front gates of their domain.

The thoughts and points of view displayed here are encouraging and are a source of information and enlightenment.

BRAVO!  Take a bow one and all.

(A warning to gun-grabbers: even if I'm dead my finger will be on the trigger)

Hey all. Let in through the back door by DC (thanks!).

FTM in his early 30s who grew up in rural WA and jumped on the MAGA train in late 2015 when Trump's presidential candidacy was gaining speed and Youtube was a little less censored. Been 'out' on the Internet as a gay right-winger in my more shitposting days and deciding to be out as trans partially to make a point to a friend about being a transguy in the right-libertarian camp.

Read a lot of conservative articles, particularly those linked in CTH, but this is the first time I'll be jumping into an explicitly conservative forum.

Been getting back into country music with artists like Ryan Upchurch (love his funny compilations, too!) and Adam Calhoun. I like landscape photography, camping, old-school metal, and a good chuckle. And I'm feeling a little hopeful for my home state with the recent write-in campaign in Seattle of all cities working, though there's still a big clean-up left to do with our government.

Other than said friend was pretty de-moralized this election, I can't really say since I've away from the big city for several years. I do remember them storming all over Ballard at the 2016 election results outside one of my old jobs though. My co-workers did all have a good laugh about Buffalo and Seattle on our coffee break this morning (we're on the working floor of a metal distribution warehouse). Fun bunch of guys and gals.

Edit: Actually, I can also say that while BLM and pride flags are everywhere in the couple places in King county I've been to, mom-and-pop shops in Snohomish and Pierce county quite thankfully don't put up such things. And a gift shop in Chelan county has had some funny pro-2A hoodies.

Hello All!
I got here by DC allowing me in the back door  :thumbsup:
Just want to say Hi...
I saw some really cool posts earlier this week
I'm a Conservative with some Libertarian leanings
All of our Liberties, IMO, are based on God and the 2nd Amendment.
It's the US Armed Forces..and not necessarily the Generals...who have kept this Country free.
As I grow older, I'm becoming more and more concerned with the Country that my GrandChildren are going to be growing up in
This is the BEST country the world has ever seen.
She has her faults...but so much more that is Good and Great.
Anyone can come to her...legally of course...and make a life for their family and their selves.
In doing so, they can talk freely...travel freely...and live a life with a God of their choice.
Anyways...thanks for the opportunity to join this forum
I'll sign off by saying...
Yep...he's StillStanding
God Bless America!

We really don't have any rules per say, but we do insist on the truth, otherwise frame it as opinion.
This is important because the left lies, we don't need to.
 The other is etiquette, just be nice, but if some idiot insists on being an asshole, then unload with both barrels, to the face! If you fail and they're still recognizable, then you're allowed one reload. But end it quickly. :biggrin:

Point is, bickering should be done by PM. it's a distraction, and libs love distraction, they live for it, perfect example is Midcan, he is paid to distract and derail threads, but we keep him around because other libs learn from his mistakes. Libs like him are paid to derail, they don't want us discussing the truth.
We are a teaching forum, where people actually come and get the truth on any given subject.

Welcome GCQ, good to have you, and I absolutely agree about the forums, we're a steadfast anchor of the times.

On another note, Greece was the only place I would have liked to have visited, but not now, with all the Marxist BS going on in the world.
