Funny how the many Conservative voters here dislike the US Conservatives. Are the Yanks that far right even for our Alberta posters?

The difference between Ab Cons and US Cons is that in the US the Religious sentiments write laws ver batem and in Ab Religious sentiments guide the laws.
Also the extreme wealthy dominate in both parties, but they are much more prominent in the US since they are much more wealthy - example repealing the estate tax etx. No one minds putting say a 5 mil limit (given the current real estate/land increase) but US cons use that sentiment to take it to the exteme and saying no estate tax for the sickeningly rich of the world.
The dems/Libs do the same just on the other side of the spectrum. One day they will say they want to save the environment the next day they will say they want all Walmart's closed because they arent paid enough. No one is going to fight them on wanting cleaner air and safer water and so it becomes difficult to fight them on the walmart issue - same principle as the Hells Angels giving Christmas presents to needy kids - its difficult for some to fight the Hell's Angels because of the bs present's for needy kids.
