Readers know that my politics are simple. Fiscal conservative, social liberal. I contend this belief set represents the majority of voters yet neither party fits us.
I will be honest, however, the social side doesn't equate well when the fiscal half is heading to federal bankruptcy, debt monetization and the possibility of hyper-inflation. And be assured, we are headed there quickly with Obama's misguided, Keynesian views on government spending. Not coincidentally, German PM Angela Merkel had a few refreshing and realistic words for Obama and Gordon Brown yesterday.
Backstory now completed, I came across this video recently and was pleasantly floored. He is Daniel Hannan an MEP representing South East England in the European Parliament (EPP). He is deft of mind and quick of biting wit and assails Gordon Brown mercilessly. You will not be disappointed in this 3 minute tongue lashing as Brown is forced to sit and smile glibly while his self-delusion is on display.
Gordon Brown, The Devalued Prime Minister of a Devalued Government
"One of the advantages about being outside the EPP is that you get to speak on important occasions. Today was such an occasion. Gordon Brown was in town in advance of the G20 summit. There were a couple of things I wanted to tell him on behalf of my constituents."
Daniel Hannan youtube sensation.
