My definition of conservative is a completly different one to yours.
Under the Merkel administration, backwards views of "rural christian values" have been thrown out of the conservative partybook.
They might still be fiscaly conservative - which here means - a buisnessfriendly and low debt policy, but trolling out rant against abortion, same sex marrige and more, do no longer happen.
And yes i do have such "conservative " (by european standards) friends.
What I saw of the republican party, was a bunch of mad people. The fact that almoust two thirds of them are convinced Obama is a muslim says it all.
This hysteric bunch of nuters with their doomsday prophecies, hatefilled violent discriminatory rants and simply a complet ignorance of every single modern western set of values - compares to nothing here in europe but narcecist homeless drunks who mutter arround how their missfortune is the result of a worldconspiracy against them.
I do think that a big part of the american conservatives are ernest and upright people, such as Tino.
But this election was on the conservative side definatly dominated by the tea party, which is why I followed this election, - become friends with some of these freaks? No! I stayed up and watched, because I fear nothing more than these kind of people ruling in the USA.
