Hey ¤¥¤, no shit? Really? As if that's supposed to be some amazing revelation I suppose (*facepalm*)

However, let's get to the core of what's what here, shall we?

We talking about a politically based site calling themselves conservatives in nature and similarly touting themselves as a place conservatives can gather to share and disseminate information on elements of the conservative cause and how current events and policies effect society and governance.

Now we conservatives typically are ones who tout and push Constitutional issues and positions. With that in mind, what is the 1st amendment to the Constitution? Isn't it the one that empowers free speech .... why yes I think it is, matter of fact I'm 10000% sure that's its intent, and one conservatives tend to hold forth as one of the most important of our rights.

So Ok, now we have a conservative site who (when the agenda suits them) allows free speech, so long as it's not in opposition to their mods and does not threaten other posters. Next we have this site also deleting posts to disallow opposing views, in essence, practicing nothing short of outright censorship. However they never delete any posts totally in agreement with their positions and the chats there are usually nothing short of schmooze fests all in all.

So what we wind up with is a conservative political site claiming to support the very freedom of speech, so long as it's in agreement with the mods and then censoring others attempting to utilize the concepts of this supposed freedom to expound on political topics and then simply deleting the accounts of those who fail to fall in line with their BS.

Yeah, I'd kinda hafta say their support for anything actually resembling conservativism or free speech is far from how these ideas would reasonably work drinking smiley
