One need only look to our neighbors to the north.
They're making a lot of improvements up there under Prime Minister Harper.
Speaking as one of your neighbours to the north, you are right on a cultural level. Just remember, however, that the malady is liberalism wherever it breeds. We just lack the voices of Rush Limbaugh and Thomas Sowell. Even our "conservative" talk show hosts are fine on same sex marriage and abortion on demand.
Speaking of which, why is it that liberals believe that wars can end and criminals can stop what they do through understanding (and therapy), but can't comprehend how a woman could ever manage without killing her unborn child. Can someone explain that moral conundrum.
