BRIAN WILSON -- I don't want to lose what our forefathers (I really hope there's not a problem with that word) have worked so hard for. Moving forward is fine. Tearing down what's behind us is not

The root word of conservative is, of course, "conserve"...maintain and preserve what we have, and advance forward.

We all want to improve things for our kids, and all of our history and advancements have been about that. That is now somehow denigrated by those trying to rip our society apart and relegate it to the dustbin by using the word "privilege" as if it's something negative.

I don't buy it.

Despite what our opposition may say about us, we believe in diversity in thought and opinion, and sex, and race -- truly a "Big Tent", that accepts all, working towards common goals.

Equality in opportunity, not outcome ... fiscal responsibility ... respect for each and every taxpayer's dollar ... caring more about merit, than quotas. I would say it is correct when people say, "Those days are over for most" – and it started with Trudeau Senior (Pierre Elliot Trudeau).

I've never forgiven him for ruining so many great things about my country, and his son is on his way to out-doing him. Read, "The Truth About Trudeau"...a real eye-opener. "No war for oil" or "No blood for oil" - I find these catch-phrases to be a tad too simplistic.

Energy is power, and who controls the energy welds the power. Somebody's going to do it ... might as well be us in the West rather than some corrupt despot. Energy is what has given us our way of life and our standard of living ...and our power. That's why it is under attack.

I'm not worried in the least about my choosing the correct urinal. I'm worried about the creeps and perverts choosing the wrong one, and little girls being subjected to, and victimized by that.

The gist of it all is that our culture, our way of life, our standards, our heritage, our language, our history, and our "privilege" is being ripped away at, torn down, and shamed, at every turn. And none of it can be seen as an improvement, by any stretch. Many are accepting of it, like the frog in the pot on the stove, who adapts to the increasing water temperature until he boils to death.

I am not.

I don't want to lose what our forefathers (I really hope there's not a problem with that word...) have worked so hard for. Moving forward is fine. Tearing down what's behind us is not.

PS - I'm definitely a heretic when it comes to not bowing down to the "man-made global warming" religion. I don't buy it. It's an absolute scam that is all about wealth redistribution, not the environment at all. And there is plenty of evidence, scientific and otherwise, to prove that.

And with that ... Rant over!
