CPAC: Daniel Hannan (British MP) – on the unbridled optimism of American Conservatism for Liberty and Freedom

For a Brit, he would make a wonderful American Conservative.  Given that the UK is well down the socialist road that Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Jeanne Shaheen (and the rest of the Progressive movement) wishes the US to follow, he sounds the alarm that this is a road that should not be well trod.  It’s a bit long (a half hour) but he is witty, engaging, comedic at times, and has enough meat in his speech that even a Liberal could take something away (er, like STOP!):

His warning – stop working away from your Constitutional values as you will become less free!

Question: why is it that a foreign senior government official seems to hold our Constitution in a much higher esteem than his own?  And why are his words in such remarkable discord with this  old Transnationalist post-American that would trade what she is sworn to uphold, defend, and interpret for the rest of us?

    Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.
