Conservative thinking is bizarre the world over

In case you didn't know.E Myeong-bush (I mean bak) was seen tooling around in a golf cart with his BFF DUMB-YA in the last few months of DUH-bya's presidency.
Only a conservative would use this baffling logic

Presidential pardon for former Samsung Group Chairman Lee Kun-hee raises ire

A special presidential pardon has been announced for former Samsung Group chairman Lee Kun-hee.

Lee Kun-hee is set to receive his pardon just four months after being sentenced to three years in prison, five years of probation and a 110 billion Won fine for malpractice and tax evasion. This is the second time Lee has been pardoned. In October of 1997, he was pardoned after being sentenced to two years in prison and three years of probation for involvement in the Roh Tae-woo slush fund scandal.

Announcing President Lee Myung-bak’s decision to grant a presidential pardon to the former Samsung Chairman, Justice Minister Lee Kwi-nam said the move was intended to improve chances for South Korea’s bid to host the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang City. Minister Lee referred to this as a cherished national wish, and described how they were hoping the pardon would help Lee Kun-hee restore his IOC credentials, which are currently suspended.

Ahem: A twice convicted felon (twice pardoned) is going to enhance Korea's chances of getting the Olympics?
I'm sure his criminal past is one of the three things on the top of every Olympic committee members list of criterion.
If this isn't the result of money under the table then I'm the incarnate of Ronald Reagan

that religions are pretty much irrelevant in determining your behavior or political views.

Conservatives, moderates and liberals have similar opinions the world over regardless of their religions (for example a conservative christian has more in common with a conservative muslim than with a liberal christian).
