Re: To You So-Called Limited Gov't Repubs Who Carte Blanche Supported Bush All For Wa
Just think Diesel in canada you would be considered a conservative.
I don't know what your defination of being conservative really is, anyways.
Because, you wouldn't even make a a neo-conservative (neo-nazi).
They did not scrap government healthcare. And they , not only helped the Auto Industry, they actually built one (Volkswagen).
Canada is very conservative in it's own ways, like the banking system, with very strict laws and regulations.
They can not lend money to people , that can't pay it back ( see your housing or banking fiascos, thanks mostly to Bush and Reagen).
Enviromental laws, wouldn't it be conservative to conserve great land ? Here it is. Thousands of lakes, where motorized boats are not allowed in. Most protected National Parks areas in the world.
Very strict laws for the foresty industry (trim down 1 tree, you need to replant 2 more).
We pay deposit for every drink container we purchase (from milk, to coke, beer, wine, and whisky bottles, can's cartons, juice boxes, etc) From 10 to 40 cents each per container.
(usually a trash bag full of containers gives me $15 - $20 at the bottle depot).
Car batteries $5.00 deposit. (you don't have a trade in for a new battery, you pay the extra $5.00).
We even pay a recycle fee for all electronics, too, at point of purchase.
Being conservative, doesn't mean to stick with 200 year old procedures, laws, and regulations.
Just think if you wouldn't have fought off the english at the beginning ...
Maybe this whole North American Continent would have been 1 single country ?
Slavery would have never happened. Either, both world wars. Because the commenweatlh would have been just to huge to ever take on.
Therefor the cold war would have never happened, either.
Almost would be worth making a movie, about.... what if ???
And by the way, when the seedlers first got onto this continent. They had healthcare for all. Was called the medicine man in every tribe.
The white guy with politics and money cravings, took that away, though. Was that being conservative ?
