I think that it is a profoundly unconservative notion.

Conservatism is founded upon the communities in which we live, foremost among these are the family and the nation (truly the twin bases of society). America is a fine nation, so too are the Philippines, so too Australia, and so too (dare I say) my own beloved England.

A true conservatism loves and admires one's own country, but also admires and respects the good aspects of other countries; and should never seek to absorb them.

Thank you for your post, and your inadvertent but appreciated re-affirmation of my pride in the nation I was born and raised in.

Despite the efforts of the socialists/communists/new-world-orderists, we Canadian conservatives think that we ARE starting to turn the tide. Only our next two federal elections will tell, but there IS some progress being made.
