    1st amendment

    Free speech! This forum allows any and all to express their beliefs. Unlike a lot of other web sites where such a person would be instantly banned. So, bravo for this forum! As a poster or a reader of other persons beliefs, you have the choice of 'banning' them.

    Well said and remember, they're just words on a screen that only have as much power over you as you give them.

        As long as you don't engage in hate speech, hurtful speech, non-PC speech, etc.

          What makes this site work I think is that it's mostly populated by grownups. Go to some of the other political sites and put up with children.

              And it's the spiteful little childish posts that I object to -- and that's why I have them on "Ignore."

                I have found the various conservative boards I visit to be civil and genteel and far more tolerant of differing viewpoints that the erstwhile liberal ones.

                  Of course! After all, conservatives believe in freedom and courtesy.
