It's funny how people associate "Libertarian" with "Liberal" though really Libertarians are far more constitutionally originalist than either of the current major parties.

Yep I agree --- a small non-intrusive government ---

So all this time China has been a supporter of human rights? and a proponent of good environmental care?

I don't get it.

How many here have kids? I don't but even with just having a couple of nieces I've seen my political views go more right as I think about them, parenting, and not just myself. I guess by conservative I mean "traditional"

Justin

conservative No wife, no kids, 2 nieces.

Nope. They've had some serious screwups on both counts, but... Their new screwups are motivated by the allmighty dollar. In this case it's the thought that counts.

Through all your posts on this thread you have been alluding to something that is somehow related to what you are talking about. Can you enlighten me? Please speak plainly as I am just a dumb backwater American boy.

Sarcasm aside, here's the clarification of my point of view where this world is heading..
As we are removing protective nets for the regular person (like social assistance, education funding) and giving big businesses more slack, the more money you have, the more you'll be able to control national policies and use the country's resources to advance your interests.
Right now, in the US, they can kick you out of your house to build a Wal Mart. No more of that "king of your castle" crap. I wouldn't be surprised if our conservatives see that as a good idea and institute the same in Canada. If you try to prevent that or speak out against them, they have enough lawyers on retainers to financially ruin you. Freedom of speech is nice until a big corporation like McDonalds sends their legal dogs after you (UK). Big businesses can even push the country into a war to make money off the victim nation's natural resources, while the media (guess who controls it) convinces the citizens that their sons and daughters are fighting/dying for freedom.
Too much money is being concentrated in too few hands.
