I wish I could share that admiration, seeing as how laws such as the 1967 Abortion Act and the 2013 Marriage (Same-Sex Couples) Act both got her assent.

Why doesn’t he just cut back on the private jet use and we’ll call it a day.

Here’s hoping he either croaks before his mother or abdicates to William if he survives.

The Left has gotten smarter, I suppose.

It used to be 5-year plans to a utopia that never arrives.

Now, its 10-years to a disaster that was never going to happen, anyway.

I have to say, I think that we are so reflexively anti leftist because of their nonsense, that we cede entire issues that should naturally have a Home in conservatism to wackos on the left. I approach nature & the environment from a conservative viewpoint. I hate seeing beautiful rural places eaten up through over development & calling it progress. I like to retain as much nature, trees, open fields & farms as possible. I deplore suburbanization & strip malls & throwing up big, ugly chain stores with no architectural value everywhere. I’m sick to death of watching litter accumulate everywhere. Every time I drive down the street, my eyes are automatically drawn to the litter & I can’t help but wonder why anyone would care so little about beauty & nature & cleanliness. It’s so self-centered & we weren’t raised that way. I’m a conservative. I believe in conservation, but more in line from our own traditional values.

I’ve asked this several times.

How could a woman of such grace, class and dignity have such a worthless ponce for a son?

You can be conservative, a conservationist and reject the climate change hoax that only exists to force a socialist agenda. There is nothing wrong with being against pollution. Democrats/progressives/socialists are pigs. Just look towards Pelosi’s district where you have Schiff filled streets. Conservatives, in my experience, always leave spaces better than before. It happens without thought, because it is the natural state of mind for conservatives.

Ecoism is nothing new as a religion. The political component of it is pure Socialism.
