“2) It’s worth noting that the “political betters” (Conservative Party) in Great Britain are cutting defense spending by 7.5%, something that the US Republicans explicitly reject.”
…because it is a stupid idea.
Hannan is one of the few commentators I’ve encountered lately who recognizes that our revolution was, in essence, conservative.
As for Britain’s defense budget, maybe they need to increase it, considering the carrier they’re “sharing” with France has broken down…
Casey – how are the Brits going to pay for increased defense spending?
Chris Gerrib, they could stop giving welfare to terrorist-sympathizing Muslim “asylum seekers.”
Huh. This is a bit of a threadjack, but while typing that last comment out, I noticed something interesting with Firefox’s spell-check. See if you can spot what’s different from the rest of these.
Not sure why Firefox is so anti-Christian. After all, the only reason the others are “misspelled” is because they’re not capitalised.
” ‘The Tea Party wasn’t a revolt against taxes, it was a revolt against “taxation without representation.'”
Yeah, like Gerrib wouldn’t have been a Tory in 1776.
You know, I’m just quoting what the original Tea Partiers said, which was “no taxation without representation.”
That’s not “anti-tax” that’s “I want a say in what the taxes are.”
Gerrib,
Please tell us where you got your degree in history. Consider it a public service.
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The American history professor who did my undergraduate seminar was a Republican Party precinct committeman.
I’m sorry that the version of history your high school football coach taught you doesn’t correlate well with reality.
Leland – did the American revolutionaries NOT say “No taxation without representation?” Did Geoge Washington NOT take an army into the field to collect taxes? Tell me where your history diverges from mine.
Seriously, where are you getting your information from?
Ummm,
1) The Tea Party wasn’t a revolt against taxes, it was a revolt against “taxation without representation.”
2) It’s worth noting that the “political betters” (Conservative Party) in Great Britain are cutting defense spending by 7.5%, something that the US Republicans explicitly reject.
You really need to lose some weight, Chris.
