Yup.  See you closer to the middle when the crazies on your side finally get far enough under your skin.  And would someone please put the word conserve back into conservatism with regards to the environment.

Thanks.

Good afternoon, will like this topic to discuss why is it that some Canadians (many on this forum) tend to confuse their patriotism with the USA. This is not only about Trump or liberals/conservatives.

It's just a perception. If your political views are more aligned with another country's ones, than the current government of your own country, it might looks like you tend to belong to that other country, but you are not. Your political opinions are not enough to determine where you belong and your national identity. It's like if you are a Leafs fan living and born in Calgary. As much as you cheer for that team, you still belong to the city of Calgary. No matter how much you share the shame of losers who can't find the path to the cup for the last 53 years.

I have seen no sign whatsoever of this. They seem as lunatic and fanatic as ever. If anything, Trump has made progressives more fanatic.

That does cut both ways though.  Certain issues like gay-marriage or women's rights (including abortion) are also things that people need to just "get over".  It doesn't affect you, so nobody should give a shit if it offends you.  

The two parties in the US are moving so far to the extremes that in another country an alternative middle ground party would emerge. There's no sign of that happening there, unfortunately.

It's long been obvious that a huge element or even a mandate of, Conservatism, is to antagonize the Gay Movement ---while ensuring to support our world's great homosexual brethren.

As for me I feel so sad for those peaceful homosexuals who only want, respect, therefore they get drowned out by the Gay Movement which wants revenge.

be careful now this can be perceived as an irresponsible comment, if you don't provide proofs nor context to solidify your claim ---considering how "Conservatism" does exactly mean non-extreme. Although it can be viewed as "extreme" how Conservatives support the militarization of police within America's Negro ghettos ---but really nothing else. And even that LE Movement was launched by Israeli Globalists and they loathe USA Conservatism.

There's no ideology being imported, there's simply universal rights being recognized universally.

And what do human rights have to do with ideology? Nothing until conservatives stand in the way, hence the main source of left wing disgust.

 What universal rights? are you talking Pronouns and the like? if you are they are not being given they are being used in order to strip people of real rights like freedom of speech. People need to wake up to the real truth.
