The necessity to be for European Man is absolute, it is all; therefore any attempt to relativise that within the confines of an artificially constructed range of enforced political discourse is anathema. All that is debated is just so much trivia but that could be decided by a simple standard: Does it tend to enhance or diminish the life of our people?

You make me think of the kid that tries to change a D on his report card to an A instead of a B. Dozens of submissions would have been believable at least:) I wonder how many dim conservatives have ragged on you about this competition by now. I realize the more intelligent ones understand your point but it's amusing to see the "How dare you accuse our government of not being conservative" post in the other thread. The conservatives are exercising non-conservative policy because they realize that we live in a country with a voting populace that is a majority conservative. Politics first, policy second.

Politics first, policy second.
