Are the Conservatives conservative?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Ignorance? lol. Please Al. Your coal schtick is funny and all but claiming the Tories are "conservative" is just beyond the pale.

They're the traditional old school conservatives... not the psychotic libertarian cowboys or the arch-Conservatives who want to control everything everyone does... as long as you don't touch their guns.

The American political definitions are off kilter for everywhere else in the world.

No, see that's my whole point. Thatcher did not support South Africa because it was politically popular. Instead she did so because it was the right thing to do, for everyone in that country.

A lot of people have died thanks to the cowardice of Western leaders with regard to the issue. Whites, blacks, and asians alike. Handing a country over to the local communist party and calling it "democracy" is something to be ashamed of, not proud of.

How many of the colonial possessions were just handed over to Communists?
