I see conservatism as something that I’ve made completely my own. I’m a creationist/evolutionist, wishy washy on the death penalty, strong opponent of abortion, favor developing our own oil fields and alternative fuels (minus subsidies), want real results from schools before giving them money, oppose runaway outsourcing of jobs, and am vehemently opposed to illegal immigration.
“oppose runaway outsourcing of jobs”
Out-sourcing was inevitable just as soon as the gov’t said to schools and corporations:
01. ) We’re going to start telling you who you can and can’t let enter your schools and to whom you can and can’t award scholarships. You have to lower your standards.
01A. ) We’re going to start telling you who you can and can’t hire. What’s more, we’re going to start telling you who you can and can’t fire. You have to lower your standards.
In effect, the gov’t was saying, “We’re willing to accept less than quality. We’re willing to accept mediocrity.”
Corporations, at that point, said, “OK, if you want mediocrity we’ll give it to you and we’ll have to spend a lot less money for it.” They started out-sourcing because it is MUCH cheaper AND mediocre.
