LOL@ the gang thing...
You're right! Maybe we should take all the police out of gang infested areas and just let them kill each other. That'll teach em.

I hate to break it to you, I know this won't go over well, and I say this with all due respect, but you have a misunderstanding of the current political climate in Canada right now. Obviously it is subject to opinion, I don't deny that, however by simply saying that Canada "is going Conservative" is incorrect. The country has moved more to the right over the past five years, but not as much as you guys make it sound. The Conservatives only had just under 40% of the vote, but ended up with a majority government based on some inherit flaws in the first-past-the-post system. 60% of the country voted for other parties, including a large chunk for the left-wing NDP and left-leaning Liberals. If you think the Democrats are left wing in the US, you should take a look at the NDP. I wouldn't hesitate to call them pretty close to "true" socialists. The election was marred with several surprises that were once in a lifetime events. The Liberal party, which for reference is not the same "Liberal" as you guys refer to, utterly collapsed. They are a center party, or at least try to be. This was due to numerous factors, that I won't go into. The Bloc also collapsed, going from ~50 seats to a mere 4. The Bloc, by the way, is a separatist party for the French speaking province of Quebec. With the Bloc pushed aside, Quebec (Canada's second largest province in population, ergo tones of seats in the House of Commons) swung left hard. The NDP swept the province and the "orange crush" as some were calling it, bled over to other parts of the country. This lead to the dreaded vote split where some traditional Liberal party voters switched over to the NDP, causing the Conservative candidate to go right up the middle in numerous ridings (A Canadian electoral district is called a riding, for those unaware of Canadian politics). For example, the NDP and Liberal candidate would have 10,000 votes each, but the Conservative candidate would have 11,000 votes. The Liberals probably should have won the riding, but because some of their voters went to the NDP, they lost. I counted 13 ridings in Ontario alone that could have turned out differently if the vote split was not present. The other byproduct that I have also seen is traditional Liberal voters going right. In Toronto, Canada's largest city, most voters describe themselves as "small c" voters, meaning they consider themselves centre-right. They usually vote for the Liberal party, but with the NDP on the rise, the risk of an NDP led them to vote Conservative to help crush any chance of an NDP minority government. If you made it through the post, congratulations. I hope when picking the best answer you don't just pick along party lines and ideology but the most informative post for you. I'm not going to debate you on Liberal policies as everyone has a different definition of what that means, especially when talking about different countries. This is my opinion on why the Canadian results turned out like they did, you are welcome to take or disregard it.

Sounds like you are finally seeing things through the eyes of reality.....Women don't need a bunch of "bible-thumpers" telling them how to live, Prayer is better left out of the school and in the minds of the less-informed, and apparently you haven't been in South L.A., the cops,already won't patrol there, but, I'll bet a real good old fashioned prayer will certainly change things,Huh ? Ready..??? Begin......( and remember,in your faith, the thoughts are just as bad as the perpetration of the action)

Thankfully not all conservatives think like you do but you know what really amazes me the most??? How all people like yourself can do is blame all the ills of the world on the "cut & run Liberals" and offer no viable solutions other than that. I'm a Liberal but I respect other viewpoints and welcome a chance to try and really seek solutions to the Iraq war and not concentrating on blaming somebody else. Can you be honest with YOURSELF????

It's amazing to me how you group all people opposed to the policy in Iraq as liberals when in fact Bush's own party has turned against his policy in Iraq. In addition, how could you possibly presume to know that all "liberals" stand for all of those things you mentioned. You're generalizing and your views are narrowed-minded much like you. You are irresponsible in your accusations and you and your like are the ones who are the real hindrance to a solution because instead of taking responsibility and having debatable ideas and thoughts you stand in the corner pointing fingers at those who don't agree with you. Why don't you come on out, face the "liberals" and fight like a man.

Adjusted for the inflation rate the trip home will cost just a little more than the trip over.

Jerk! Why don't you offer real solutions instead of wasting time on your "sarcasm"?

abortion is seen as cut and run. They abort, so thus, they cut and run
