Too bad this guy is British and can't run for office here.
If only we had a more representatives with this kind of clarity and humble and abiding affection for our institutions.
This is a must-see speech, by Daniel Hannan, member, British Parliament. He loves his homeland, England, but she is careening off the cliff of European socialism, having forfeited her national sovereignty and birthright to an unelected distant bureaucracy. And he says he is saddened when he looks in his rear-view mirror, and sees America with her foot on the pedal, trying to overtake him.
We still hold these truths to be self-evident… that all men are created equal…that they are endowed by their Creator… with certain unalienable rights… that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
This next election, what will it be? Restoring our Constitutional republic, reducing the size and scope of government, states' rights, and greater freedom for each citizen? Or will we choose the ever-growing Europeanization of America, greater reduction of her citizens, and the rise of the State?
