Another reason why I joined here. Almost any other “conservative” blog apparently can’t take an opposing viewpoint without bringing down the banhammer. Its like they are afraid that they might suddenly catch TEH KENYAN SOCIALISM!!1eleventy!

1 — It’s called “a tough room” because one is expected to be able to back up, ie document, assertions with fact. Have links to reputable sources ready when posting something controversial.
