That article made my heart squeal with delight. But, on second thoughts like some previous commentators said, these people declare Bush to be a laissez-faire, deregulating fundamentalist. Let us not take their word on Cameron, though we wish the words were true.

America is plunging rapidly towards Third World status while some of the former Third World is adopting market reforms and the sanctity of economic private property (even if not “democratic” like Singapore, China,…) There are some voices in Europe to at least limit the welfare state to some level of budgetary “affordability” (Germany, France, U.K.) – but not necessarily to eliminate it. There seems little hope for America other than some Social-Religious “Compassionate” Conservatives to replace Obama with a big spending Republikeynsian.

I have contempt for the 99% of Republicans whose answer to out-of-control deficits are more TAX CUTS on ADM executives and Goldman Sachs bankers to pass on hyperinflationary slavery to future generations. SPENDING CUTS are essential – not tax cuts (no dessert until you eat your veggies, America!)

Meanwhile, there is an interesting thought-provoking essay on America’s Politically Dysfunctional Elitist Managerial Imperial State by Professor Angelo Codevilla [I agree with much but not all]:

Codevilla points out the POISONOUS doctrine that Professor Woodrow Know-It-All Wilson dumped on this nation and his neocon & leftist followers who dominate both parties. However, if Sarah Palin is our “salvation”, we are probably doomed!

So they’ve taken to varnishing the rotted oak – cue the ship’s band for There'll Always Be an England.

Cameron said he would reduce immigration to 36 thousand a year but that is nonsense. He will not curtail family expansion immigration, or even stop the hundreds of thousands of ‘students’ who come to Britain each year.

London is becoming an alien’s city.

As for reforming the Welfare state, I wish him well. We need a bit of brutality.

BTW:For anyone who wants a laugh, use Google maps to find, Globe road, London E1. Use the pointer to zoom in on the factory just past Stepney Green Underground station. This a a college.

David Cameron is in a coalition with the Liberal Democrats. I have a feeling that TNS is simply overreacting. Mind you, statist media often tried to portray Bush as some champion of the free-market, which as you know, nothing could have been further from the truth.

Wendy McElroy on her blog has an addition article that discusses the things the new British government is doing. Titled “the Great Repeal Bill” “http://www.wendymcelroy.com/news.php” Wendy doesn’t like the immigration common-sense bill, where most of us do; but, she does like the move to repeal unpopular laws in the UK. England has a novel way for citizen input, they have a web site set up by David Cameron’s office, called “Your freedom” where you can type in what law you find offensive and why. Some abuse happens but most of the posters state good reasons why they think certain laws should be repealed, so who knows, freedom may still have a chance.

Good for that “nation of shopkeepers!” I hope Cameron, et. al., keep up the momentum.

They are now at the point at which we will be sometime in the not-so-distant future. Remember that as an EU state, they have a bankrupt Greece waiting for their handouts (and nearly bankrupt other countries including Spain and Portugal waiting for their pounds, as well.) The Brits and others (Germans) will continue to provide the “benefits” for those already-failed, or nearly-failed states, unless radical measures are taken. In addition to cutting “big government,” the Brits need to get out of the EU, with all haste–to remain only means that they will continue to support the failures of nations over which they have no control. Best wishes from this side of the Atlantic.

While Cameron isn’t a pure “classical liberal,” he is clearly moving the country back in the right direction — in contrast to our President Obama.
