   Mr. Hannan could very well be describing the socialist programs of this muzzi luvin’ administration. Yes, we need more the like of him over here.

   Indeed. Just look at what the majority of the stimulus funds have been applied to: government projects, NOT private sector companies and jobs. As Mr. Hannan correctly points out, the sole purpose of socialist funding is to support the employment of their own employees.

   And as Maggie Thacher pointed out, pretty soon they will run out of other peoples’ money.

   I thought the speech heard round the world was the “Devalued Prime Minister of a Devalued Government”. This isn’t the right video.

   It’s here.

    Oh Yeah! Daniel Hannan – would you like to live in Hawaii? Abercrombie is quitting to run for Gov, I could use a Congressman like you. Sure, you’re not a citizen, but you could end up President!

    The UK needs solid and articulate conservative voices at least as much as we do, as it is currently a cesspool of welfare entitlement and political liberalism that makes BHO look like a piker. Mr. Hannan’s brilliant analysis of the failures of leftist governance should be heeded by all politicians.

    Not only did we not “caulk”, we tore new holes in the hull and loaded it down with more ballast. Not a good thing to do when sailing into a squall.

    It’s too bad that US presidents are constitutionally required to be born in America; this Hannan fellow is spot on, even though he is describing the fiscal chaos of Great Britain.

    Hannan is a solid fiscal conservative and defender of national sovereignty.

    But he’s a bit squishy when it comes to capital punishment and glowbull warming. For a European conservative, however, he’s as good as they can get, and I wish we had more pols as articulate as he is.

    I am sympathetic to conservatives who oppose capital punishment (other than foreign terrorists at war with us, who should always be put down as rabid dogs/ununiformed combatants trying to destroy us). The government is hideously bad at everything it does, so withholding from it the ability to kill its citizens isn’t really all that unreasonable.

    I strongly disagree with that position for reasons I won’t go into here, but I can sympathize with it when the position is held by a genuine principled conservative only trying to limit the government’s power.

    On the Climate Cult thing, I hope Hannan has learned something from Climategate.

    He didn’t. He made a lame excuse for them:

    Oddly enough, though, I don’t believe that “warmergate” has altered things very much. I always assumed that some of the research on both sides was likely to be results-driven. It could hardly be otherwise, human nature being what it is. We all tend, unconsciously, to press new data into our existing Weltanschauung.

    He was roundly excoriated by his readers, myself included, for this.
