Hallgrim Berg's book hasn't been translated yet, but it is encouraging to see that at the grassroots, European folk are coming to their senses. It was an eppiphany for me to realize that, in order to promote my "liberal" compassionate values, I had to embrace the Conservatives.

I suspect that this will be the path that many Europeans will take as they regain their sanity.

It is vital that Europeans develop an alternative media; this was what turned the tide in the US, when a counter-active voice challenged the assumptions of the prevailing world view of the Leftists institutions.

Internet bloggers are the modern-day pampheteers.

It is interesting that a few of the leading voices for liberty in the Norwegian debate these days are former leftists.

It is true to some extent, as Ronald Reagan said, the party left me not the other way around.

Olden day liberals would turn in their graves if they could witness what their contemporaries are up to.

BTW, I am a liberal in the classical sense. I have always been
supportive of the classical liberal values. That is partly why I have since as long as I can remember been an admirerer of the United States. When I was very young I thought that these values could be found among leftist parties. But, I eventually realised that the most valiant defenders of these values that I cherish are found among "conservatives"

This is the journey that I took, and that more people must undertake.

Then, there is hope.

Cheers.
