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:
- A PhD in Political Science
- A local (WNC) business owner
- 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!
Comments
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.
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?
--Limited government intervention
--Capitalism/pro-business
--Free trade
--The ability for each citizen to exercise their Constitutional rights without infringement
--Hoover's "rugged individualism"
