i absolutely admire mothers determination.....and as stated my basic political philosophy will never change..it's just that i no longer worry about or for that matter even care what happens in Ottawa......i long ago realized that the ONLY thing that will allow conservative forces the opportunity to grasp absolute power and role back socialism is a national or global disaster of biblical proportions.....one that leaves the average citizen so terrified of the alternative they will allow a dictatorial government to override democratic safeguards and rule with an iron fist......i do not see this happening in the near future....
i reached this conclusion as a result of years of studying and watching the insidious creep of socialism ....socialism was not introduced as something (a party) that could be voted in one term and then voted out the next.....no socialism has been allowed (for almost 8 decades) to gradually permeate every facet of our lives.....probably as much as 40% of the population receives some form of direct payment/benefit from the government...most of the other 60% receives some form of benefit from the government...this insidious creeping of government tentacles has been introduced at glacial speed...unnoticed and stealthy.....until it is at the point even conservative and libertarian thinkers would be hard pressed to vote to give up their particular subsidy...that is why it is impossible to bring sanity back into the system via the democratic process......people are only willing to pay "lip service" to the apparent solutions as long as they have a direct vested interest in the government filling their pocketbook
Well said Mr Munday. The only thing I disagree with you about is if disaster is on the horizon. I believe many Western countries will face an economic/demographic tsunami if their destructive sociailist policies are not overturned. Western countries can fail too...we are just given more rope to hang ourselves.
