New Authors & Comment Moderation


Thanks for your patience! After a week of vetting new blog authors, we thank every single one of you who were interested.

We have three new authors! All authors will use the name "Admin" here on this blog. Our authors are:

  1. A PhD in Political Science
  2. A local (WNC) business owner
  3. An (WNC) elected official
Additionally, comment moderation has now been removed! In the first week of this new format we received far too many comments with racial/ethnic epithets and other untoward language - thus the need to moderate. We are happy that these horrid comments have ceased and that we can return to open commenting!

Well that was quick. We’ve been forced to reinstate comment moderation by those who have chosen not to respect the three basic tenets of this blog.

Trolls are fine (and expected) but language that promotes and/or glorifies racism, fascism, and authoritarianism is unacceptable. This blog is no longer a local outpost for Qanon.

A note on comment moderation: We know that this minor inconvenience is frustrating. There is, however, precedent in the matter.

There was a time in which Blogger and NewGuy were forced to moderate the comment section. We are following their lead during this transition period. We remain committed to a politically conservative voice that does not openly promote and encourage racism, fascism, or authoritarianism.

What conservative principles do you support/espouse on this blog?

We support the core values of political conservatism:

--Limited government intervention
--Capitalism/pro-business
--Free trade
--The ability for each citizen to exercise their Constitutional rights without infringement
--Hoover's "rugged individualism"

Looks like "anon" was shut down when the new admins didn't list any fascist or authoritarian values LOL

Hawley Concerned That Being a Coward Is Overshadowing His Work as a Fascist

From The New Yorker WASHINGTON ( The Borowitz Report )—Senator Josh Hawley is “deeply concerned” that his newfound national reputation for cowardice is overshadowing his commitment to end democracy. “People see one video of me fleeing like a terrified bunny, and they think that’s all there is to me,” Hawley told reporters at a press conference. “They’re totally forgetting that I’m also a guy who tried to overturn a free and fair election.” Hawley admitted that, although it is tempting to stereotype him as “a guy who was scared shitless of a mob he had egged on earlier in the day, that’s just one side of me. What about the side of me that wantonly subverts democracy? That should count for something.” “People are focussing on the totally chickenshit Josh Hawley and ignoring the lusting-for-autocracy Josh Hawley,” he complained. Hawley’s press conference was cut short after a reporter asked a question and the senator ran away.

Sedition

Following the January 6th attack on the Capitol, the seditionists have gone into deep hiding!  Blogger, Sark, Guy, Wolf, and the rest have sunk their heads down in the hopes that we will overlook their multi-year cooperation in this anti-American farce that is Trump-ism.  Even the the aptly-named "Nobody" who attempted a competing blog following our departure from racism/fascism/authoritarianism has deleted  her own content after the coup d'etat. (Note that "Nobody" is the reason why we are moderating comments for racist and fascist content...probably explains the blog deletion).  Hear it here and hear it loud - fascism and authoritarianism are not welcome here.

The Dead Shell of the GOP

The American people resoundingly rejected the GOP's platform in November ( by over 7 million votes ). Biden's electoral votes have eclipsed those of Trump's 2016 victory - which he called a landslide victory . In response, fake conservatives have shouted "voter fraud" without evidence. Interestingly, these worshipers at the false altar of Trump also shouted the same in 2016 when Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million votes.  Through all of the shouting and bombastic behavior of these fake conservatives, Americans have largely moved on from the antiquated and unintelligent GOP platform .  Instead of screaming "socialism!" at anything that makes them uncomfortable , conservatives should take a moment to self-reflect on the authoritarian path they are happily sprinting down .
