Libs versus Conservatives

Here's an illustration of the difference in philosophy between the left and the right.

Liberals like London, England's "Red Ken" Livingstone are all about righting the past...
Mayor Ken Livingstone has formally apologised for London's role in the slave trade.
See, if you simply say, "I'm sorry" -- POOF!!! -- all will now be magically right in the world. Best of all, it doesn't cost anything and requires no actual labour. It's also interesting how selective the loony left is, when it comes to apologies. I don't see Ken working on the Queen to apologise for the Scottish "Highland Clearances."

Conservatives, on the other hand, try to focus more on current crimes against humanity like the present day slavery and oppression in the Middle East.
On the wealthy streets of Jeddah, in Saudi Arabia, thousands of young child-beggars, under the auspices of ruthless gangmasters, are simply trying to survive.
And, as we see in Afghanistan, are continuing to pay that heavy toll.

Just something to think about.
