    Default Conservatives V Conservatives.

    As a so-called conservative from the UK, I have to say I am sometimes alarmed at the antics of some of the US conservatives. What do we have in common?

    I have to say, not a lot.

    The socialists seem to present a united front...or do they? Do they also suffer from this cultural schism?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    Paint with too broad a brush and you eliminate all the details.

    Left vs Right is about as useful for clarity as using a sledgehammer is for dental surgery.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    In general we as a nation are far move left wing than the US.
    All you have to do is take part in a political quiz to see that. I generally find myself scoring the same type of marks as our US friends. Most people in the UK seem more middle of the road, but only slightly learning either Left or RIght
