A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Sure! Let's eliminate the Department of Education, EPA, ATF, Department of the Interior, FCC, National Science Foundation, Department of Agriculture, the FTC and the NRC, the Department of Labor and DOE, the BIA and the BLM and why the hell not the DOT as well.

That way we can put more funds and manpower into making sure people's washroom use doesn't controvene Federal Anti-trans bathroom regulations.

I can strongly support eliminating 100% of every department you listed.

@Mettled @SeanBrently
What's your case for eliminating each of these departments? What is wrong with them?

[–] SeanBrently@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I was being sarcastic. Of course over-regulation can be a problem, and I'm not trying to make a case that reform or reorganization is unnecessary or detrimental to the health of the nation, rather that the pendulum ought not swing too far the other way. There's a lot of little pieces that help a society function better, and if you eliminate too many, things can break.

There was a time when the nation of Somolia had no such freedom-destroyimg regulatory agencies, collected no taxes and had an absolutely free market economy. Must have been an absolute paradise.

Gotta love that y'all can't even figure out what agencies are useful and s which aren't.

I'm gunna bet you can roughly correlate those with income.

Fuck yeah! I know it won't go through, but just seeing someone introduce a bill, man, that's something else.
