Interesting points, gentlemen. Charlatan, your definition of neo-con is the definition I utilize when critiquing the Conservative Party. I have voted Liberal federally since the death of the PCs. Voted Liberal and then showered to remove the filth of what I had done. Given the current political spectrum, the grits really are the only federal party I can support. I concur, that they are largely fiscally conservative and there is a strong wing of the party which reflects my take on social justice. Myself, I have problems with the federal perspective of the Liberals ( I adhere to a looser concept of the fderation) and this will always be a sticking point for me. Harper is a very utilitarian man who will do what gets him in power (something he shares with the Liberals) and has few principles in common with the PC party. His only principles are closer to the Neo-Con ethos and those horrify me.
When he was a discontented whiner who left the Reform party, the ideals he espoused were alarming and those were not stated just to make the Americans happy
