For American conservatives, is Canada showing the way?

Could be. Small Dead Animals tracks the evolution of the present-day Canadian Conservative Party.

With the Republican establishment apparently content to throw its weight behind a permanent employment plan for losers (“Re-elect John Boehner. Just because”), Americans intent on preserving individual liberty and a much more limited role for the state are going to have to get creative.

Works for me. The GOP needs to go the way of the Whigs.

We smaller nations seem, hopefully, ultimately, able to withstand the more loopy 'progressives'.

It may be a matter of size, with the US having achieved critical mass of fruitloops in the system, a 'loopy meltdown', which in this case means they achieve maximum power.

So it might hard to follow Canada till we see a leaner meaner US. Sorry to say.

But the Tea Party is a great start!

Bruce: It is. But we need the next great wave. I'm thinking...Pacoism.

Well, as a participant in those years in the wilderness, I can say that, ultimately, what kept the Conservatives out was what we call "Red Tories", people who think they can only win by adopting "progressive" or "liberal" policies.

We did elect, finally, a conservative and hear the progressive liberal media and "intelligencia" howl and splutter.

To finally rid the land of liberal domination, universities must be re-taken from thee left.
