Ignorant : definition : Someone who talks about something he knows NOTHING about.
case in point : Our current government is about as conservative as you can get. Our Prime Minister does not believe in climate change, and he also believes that all problems can be solved with stiffer jail sentences and more guns. He is also deeply in the pocket of big oil companies. Does he remind you of someone?
The reason for the import ban is that most imports coming into our country now are RIGHT HAND DRIVE vehicles from Japan. It has NOTHING to do with any perceived socialism. It is really wierd becuase usually I have found people on this site very curious and wanting to know more about things before shooting their mouth off. As for a country going in the wrong direction just look at yourselves. How much money have you spent on an illegal, immoral war that has maimed many of your fellow citizens ?
I will take socialism ANYtime over facism and corporatism. And if you think I am anti-american, you are so wrong. I watched CAptain Kangaroo every morning when I was small and used to pledge allegiance to the flag. I like America, and Americans. I feel sorry that your country was taken over by the neo-cons that keeps people xenephobic and afraid of everything that is not like them
Sorry for the rant but what would you do if someone started bad-mouthing your country. Yeah, I thought so.
By the way, don't break a leg, you may get bankrupted! And for the record, I don't like Hillary either, she is a panderer and a demagogue......
