Conservatives, while often gloomy in their political outlook, tend to be warm and merry in their personality. I’ve just spent the weekend in Oxford with 120 young activists from around Europe, and found myself lifted by their optimism.

Geert Wilders, Oskar Freysinger, and Jimmie Åkesson are the only three I fully trust from Europe. Their knowledge of Islamization and the threat of multiculturalism gives me hope for the continent’s future, though not much of it.
Thanks JSDude1.
