| The Inside Straight (TIS) was inspired and formed by dedicated conservatives tired of the growing leftwing dominance and infighting at so-called community websites such as Newsvine. While conservatism comes in many stripes, TIS conservatives all share core values such as limited government, general founding principles and a strong foreign policy and enjoy robust and unhindered debate. |
| We seek to become a recognized mainstream source for strong and unique conservative arguments, exposing the aspects of issues not covered or even covered-up by the mainstream media and presenting the logical and historical contradictions among far-left thinking. |
| And this is more important than ever. For years (particularly since 9/11) clear thinking Americans have feared, rightfully, a monopoly of power by the left and their government representatives in the Democratic Party. Those fears have been grounded in the knowledge that the communist-guided baby-boom generation has exercised great influence among the youth of America and are now dominating if not controlling the nation’s most influential institutions. Those fears came to fruition in the 2008 election. But at TIS we say with conviction: there is nothing to fear but…complacency! |
| America is and has been a nation shaped through debate, arguments and the Constitutional Right to have a voice and to express that voice. And that is what TIS is about. |
Congratulations on your enterprise, and good luck! How does one sign up around here?

I don’t seek anyones agreement, and I admire you for believing in something. Thats the beauty of free people living in a Republic. But don’t be afraid to engage me over specific issues. Healthy debate and argumentation are what forums like this are about.

Raymonty,
It’s impossible to be banned for life from internet sites. They may have banned your avatar and your handle… but not you. Internet sites can enforce any CoH they so choose. If you were banned, it was because they found good reason to do so under their CoH.
You ask if I can handle the truth? I wouldn’t have it any other way. Just be sure to follow our published guidelines: “We exercise Freedom of Speech, and encourage the right of the people to exchange ideas and debate issues in a respectful and courteous manner”.

Hi Raymonty,
I’m having trouble following along here. You come to an “About Us” page and tell Max that you disagree with him but don’t say what you disagree with. Then you speak vaguely about handling the truth and then make a comment about abortion.
Feel free to tighten things up and add some clarity to your point(s). Or comment on some news stories, such as some of the recent abortion pieces we’ve posted.
Thanks.

Tone down the rhetoric Palin 2012. America is for every American. But I doubt you are a true conservative, as true conservatism honors the disagreements our founding fathers had when they debated, and assembled, the greatest governing document the world has ever seen, our Constitution. Political freedom is our hallmark, and it no more lays claim to conservatives as it does liberals.
