Frankly Hunter I dont give a shit. As I told them both, I have answered it already. The fact Bounty continues to his claim that Americas version of Conservatism is the onetrueway is his problem, not mine, not Camerons and certainly not the Conservative Partys.

It is quite possible some Conservatives dont actually believe in a flat earth society and that science holds the key.

I have not many any such claim---and you want me to re-read the thread?

its beyond me you cannot see your entire premise rests on how Europeans understand conservatism in contrast to how we do (this is your position, not mine).

all im doing is asking how its different, such that combating climate change doesn't compromise conservative principles.

your inability to answer, ironically enough, does not make me either stupid or ignorant.

as I said just a moment ago, the bummer is, im genuinely interested in the topic and for a moment, I thought you actually had something to contribute to it.

I've read the thread. I don't recall seeing it. Thanks for continuing to not answer the question.

I have a solid understanding of how the understanding of the meaning of the word "liberal" (as it pertains to politics) differs in the US compared to everywhere else. I acknowledge that it's current usage in the US is different from how it's used, pretty much, everywhere else, and that it's even different from how it was used here a couple hundred years ago.

It's too bad that you'd rather play games than actually answer questions directly.

ironic stuff DS, you of all people talking of playing games. you couldnt be more obtuse with your posts if you tried.
Again, because Cameron has taken the stance he has to reduce CO2 emmissions and to try and kickstart a green economy, it doesnt mean he isnt Conservative.

Hunter..... American definitions of political positions always amaze me. They are so different from the same definition used in the rest of the Western world..
My point to bounty is that by our definition, and the rest of the EU come to that, Cameron is indeed Conservative. He has woken up to the idea of global warming kind of late and is trying to use its popularity to kickstart small industry in the UK. There is nothing unConservative about trying to drum up more businesses.

You previously stated the following. if you can work that out for yourself, I am sure you can work out how the definitions of "conservative" and "socialism" also differ in the US. If you think I am going to pander to your wishes, dream on.
