The entire piece is worth a read. I've excerpted all I'm allowed.

When France, the Netherlands and Ireland voted against the European Constitution, the referendum results were swatted aside and the document adopted regardless.

Sounds like the formula they used to pass Zer0care.

I hope that this is finally coming to a head; that people are finally so fed up with the federal government, that we’re about to shake the whole system up.

Obama’s model for the US is East Germany complete with secret police and absolute central control of power.

Unfortunately I fear too many in th US think they are gonig to get something for nothing. And that something means a lot more than the freedom they take for granted....

“The fears that the American patriot leaders had about a Hanoverian tyranny were, in retrospect, exaggerated”

Did this guy used to be a script writer for Monty Python?

Thank you for this post. Hannan is indeed rightfully concerned about the state of things in America. From his view I would say he thinks there is a state of flux. A battle to be waged for what is right asd opposed to the manipulations of crafty and devious men and women.

It was, of course one Tom Paine, who was an Englishman to come out four square and support the American Revolution. A battle lies ahead. That battle will decide whether Americans can, if they wish, be allowed to pursue the American dream. For some, that dream may be a Norman Rockwell America- and why not?

For that kind of America was a kindly America. Sure, there were young people that rebelled against it. The fools try to destroy it, rather than most of them going off to some other country and trying that style of living .

The pursuit of the ordinary American may still be, finding a life's partner, having children and owning a nice home. Nothing wrong with that.

What we may be seeing is a complete repudiation of this kind of value. The wicked sycophants who deliberately encourage every kind of contradiction to the old fashioned life style, wallow in luxury themselves.

I hold it that if America falls, so will fall the English speaking people.

Stand fast conservatives.
