I've noticed a lot of threads that deal with family, wholesome values, positive patriotism, etc. get axed right out of the gate here. It's a "progressive" thing, I assume. Can't have people arguing in favor of family values, morality and all that. The Fourth of July won't have any meaning in the North American Union, which the "progressives" here support. They support anti-family values, religionless society, ignorance, gun-grabbing and total surrender to the financial elite that buys them off with trinkets and absurd lies. So yeah, your threads may well be getting axed. Lots of mine do.
