Behold, the upcoming elections in the UK!
In the Labour Party – Gordon “Ugly Dumpling” Brown
Current Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour Party.
In the Tory Corner – David “I look like Larry Bird” Cameron –
Current Leader of the Tory Party. Educated at Eton and Oxford University.
In the Liberal-Democratic (aka Socialist) corner – Nick “Nobody knows who I am” Clegg
Now, the problems with Gordon Brown are well known and documented repeatedly, many times over, and also involve banning Geert Wilders from the country. It should go without saying that Nick Clegg, from the far-leftist Liberal-Democratic Party, which has the abominable open antisemite Baronness Jenny Tonge as the Lib-Dem party whip, is a committed far-leftist.
Yet I would caution against putting any hopes in David Cameron of the Tories as some form of “conservative hope” for the UK future. If this article is to be believed, David Cameron is hardly better than Gordon Brown. From the looks of it, he might even be worse. It looks like the choice will be between varying shades of progressivism for the British public.
The special relationship between Mrs Thatcher and Ronald Reagan was based on a genuine meeting of minds. The two leaders shared core beliefs in anti-communism and small government. But, since then, the Republicans have moved right and the Tories have moved left. The Republican party has just made it clear that it regards state-run healthcare as on a par with Satanism. But Mr Cameron tells British voters that he treasures the National Health Service. Only last week, the Tory leader gave a speech on community organisation in which he explicitly praised the late Saul Alinsky – a Chicago-based social organiser who is a bogeyman for many Republicans, who regard him as Mr Obama’s socialist Godfather.
From guns to God to taxes to climate change, the Tories and the Republicans are really no longer on the same political planet. This problem would become far more acute if a Tory victory in Britain next month was followed by a sweeping Republican victory in the mid-term congressional elections in November. Who exactly would a Prime Minister Cameron side with when political war broke out on the other side of the Atlantic? His political allies in Congress or his political hero in the White House?
Be sure to read it all. Then read this very important column about the Tories in the UK, and their resemblance to Obamism.
For the record, this is the quote in question, as said by David Cameron: “This plan is directly based on the successful community organising movement established by Saul Alinsky in the United States and has successfully trained generations of community organisers, including President Obama.”
And weep for the future of the UK.
