If you don’t know how to express concern for the irreparable destruction of the country that is just strange. Most people know such things instinctively.

All you are standing up for is the right of persons w foreign allegiances to occupy the highest office of the land & use it to destroy the Republic. Nothing noble about it, and it’s a v weird mindset that imagines otherwise.

No, I am standing up for the truth. Plain and simple.

I was thinking about this yesterday. I fully believe that some people here, whether philosophically or not, whether consciously or unconsciously, have decided that the truth really doesn't matter.

It seems to me that the philosophy is that politics is "war," and propaganda is a perfectly legitimate tactic. So they are prepared to say anything, true or not, if they think it "furthers their cause." This is a philosophy of the end "justifying" the means.

That's not my philosophy. To me, telling the truth is a conservative value. And engaging in deliberate propaganda is wrong.

And to me, if someone is misrepresenting what the Founders and Framers said, that's not a conservative position.
