Passage to India

Carbon conservatism comes into its own. Also: Jilting the marriage amendment. John Wayne's high notes. Outsource to right to work states. Borscht vs. Blintzes. Plus more.
p> WHY NOT ITS FINEST HOUR? br> Re: Hal G.P. Colebatch's Cameron's Carbon Conservatism : /p> p>I never thought of carbon offsets this way before, but I now have this Monty Pythonesque image of the Great White British Conservative Party Leader journeying to India on an airplane, with legions of poor persons in the Commonwealth Countries furiously pedaling irrigation pumps to supply the energy input to move this jet to cross the sky. It puts any project performed in the ancient world with slave labor to shame. br> -- Paul Milenkovic br> Madison, Wisconsin /p>

Mr. H.G.P. Colebatch provides invaluable perspectives on the Old Empire, and especially the Great Britain of (some of) my ancestors. He writes of the social breakdown now underway in England.

Mr. C's description of the so-called "Conservatives" in Britain today suggests that Labour and the Social Democrats will win another five-year lease to control the government. Sigh. Current Tories make our domestic Republican Party look like the Rock of Gibraltar (hmm, another bit of Empire to be trashed...).

I urge my conservative friends here in the U.S. Midwest: don't slam the door to immigrants. Soon we must welcome to America the next giant wave: a huge flow of European refugees, from our Old Countries lost to the Mohammedan tide that the 20th-century Europeans started but would not stop. Mr. C notes the huge outflow of people already occurring from Britain. Our cousins "vote with their feet," against the Mohammedan slave society they see advancing behind the veil of social leftism.

One thought -- if anyone in the British National Party entertains any notion of "going mainstream," now is the hour to act. Labour and Social Democrats have sold Britain to Europe. The Conservatives forfeit the contest without fighting. Who's left to speak for the (now-dwindling) descendants of Old Britain? Who can inherit the mantle of Cromwell...Pitt...Lloyd George...Churchill...?
