I'm tired of a lot of the Brit bashing here as well. I suspect a large part of it is due to the American media and academia rhetorically re-inventing Europe as a leftist Third Way utopia to use as an argument for their own positions here. Britain, naturally, gets incorrectly lumped in with the rest of Europe.
While no one's going to be mistaking London for Houston anytime soon, this idea that Britain is populated by a homogeneous mob of leftist anti-Americans is ludicrous, and unworthy of thoughtful conservatives.

..."and unworthy of thoughtful conservatives." I am afraid, I am seeing fewer and fewer of the species, even on FR. Many just jump on the headline[s] without checking the source or reading further and processing actual information and quotes, or giving a thought to contradictions and/or second-hand "sources" within these articles.
