Conservatives: Dead or Alive

"Conservatives: Dead or Alive?" analyses the differing positions and paradigms facing both the left and the right today. We tackle how both the left vs the right ideology ideas attempt to remedy the major issues, including education, healthcare, climate change, national divides, immigration, and cultural/social values facing the next generation and generations to come. Some very important elections will be faced by both Canada and the US in the coming 2014, 2015 and 2016 years. Like all previous elections they will have consequences of its past to bear. In the U.S the failed policies of Obama may give rise the Republicans. In Canada despite a Canadian Conservative government for the past eight years, we are not guaranteed the progressives have disappeared. This book is meant to be provocative, to elicit a discussion about the values of conservatism vs liberalism. Today's small 'c' conservatives seem to have disappeared as progressivism has made large inroads, especially in Canada. Too often we are seeing many conservatives fighting among each other in their search for power. These actions have known and well documented reactions, contributing to the erosion of conservative values and principles. In order for conservatism to survive this book will act as a sounding to conservatives everywhere, as a call to put social issues on the back burner, and concentrate on true conservative principles in order to survive and flourish in the future
