I don’t think going to a conservative internet forum is really going to do much as far as opening your mind to other values and principals, just like this one does nothing for an independent/conservative. I’m sure they’re just as intolerant and close-minded over there as all the bleeding-hearts are over here which is truly unfortunate.
If you’re genuinely interested in expanding your political horizons, you should check out The Michael Medved Radio Show. He’s a former liberal turned conservative, is Jewish (no annoying Christian banter), is almost literally a human encyclopedia and most importantly of all, is not angry.
Trust me, nothing in the world will close your mind faster than traveling over to a strictly conservative internet forum.
