Liberals VS Conservatives... Stop the Madness Please!

I'm amazed at the number of people I know that fall for the false dichotomy of partisan politics. While Rome burns, we all lose as we argue over such stupidity.

Conservatives want jobs at any cost by supporting coal, oil, and big business.  But - we have to adapt or die. Important example: the Saudis are slowly shifting away from fossil fuels and are now investing in solar technology, simply because the old-school resources have reached a tipping point of economic unsustainability...  Solar farms now produce power cheaper than oil, natural gas, or coal.

First time you heard this?  Stop using Fox News and Breitbart as your source for information.  Harper totally devastated the environmental policies of Canada for the sake of short-term support of the businesses that benefit from the changes he made (...and lobbied him to do so).  Think Trump and the EPA.  Extremely short-sighted, and irresponsible.

On the flip side, the Liberals have failed on a number of promises that were integral to their election platform. Pardon me while I choke: get these numbers... as of the date of this post, Justin has been in office for 544 days, and has achieved 44 of 224 promises, overtly broken 30, and hasn't started the rest. Sounds like a typical politician to me, saying what he needed to get in power. His spending practices reflect his father's approach to deficit budgeting, and has even carved out a far bigger piece of the pie than he promised.  Again, an irresponsible attitude towards the future generations that have to clean up this mess.

So, you're a Harper fan? Or a Trudeau fan?  You're a conservative die-hard that refers to the "other" party as libtards?  Or you're a hippy liberal supporter that likes Trudeau's selfies? Then you're naive and willingly ignorant of the shit they cram(med) down our throats.  So please stop this Conservative versus Liberal immature rhetoric, and join hands with those who want a sustainable future for us and our children and grandchildren, whether it's in the form of responsible budgeting, or the environment. Complain. Write letters. Be vocal. Make a stand.

If you're interested in knowing who really runs this world, look no further than the multinational banks and corporations that supply everything we own and consume.  They are the REAL puppet masters.  This web page is well worth the visit if you have the stomach:
