Social Conservatives

social conservatives: After eight years, social conservatives havent won much from the Conservatives beyond lip service. They must be getting impatient, according to The Chronicle Herald. The poor social conservatives thought at least they d get help keeping dad at work and mom at home in the kitchen with the kids. Now even that looks dodgy and Pity the neglected social conservatives, those long-suffering Harper government supporters waiting in vain for progress on issues that matter to them, like abortion, capital punishment or traditional family values. They ve had to stand by, fuming, as the government did nothing on abortion. They ve waited in vain for the return of the noose. Their government lost a landmark case on prostitution. And its still perfectly legal for same-sex couples to marry. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
