Selfish, stupid people.

I left the US a little over a year ago, and the more Harper supporters I run into, the more I'm reminded of the right-wing crazies south of the border. After 10 years there, I concluded that conservative voters fall into two main categories: those who benefit financially (either directly or indirectly) from the corrupt and oppressive policies; and those whose worldview is dominated by bigotry, fear, and willful ignorance. Sometimes the two groups overlap.
