British MEP Daniel Hannan on America's Future

http://blog.heritage.org/2011/06/13/in-the-green-room-british-mep-daniel-hann... | Daniel Hannan has seen our future and it isn't pretty. The fiery British member of European Parliament (and YouTube sensation) was at The Heritage Foundation last week to discuss his new book, "The New Road to Serfdom: A Letter of Warning to America" and to sound the alarm to Americans of the creeping European-style socialism that is gaining ground among our government.

Spot on. Hannan says "Government by executive decree, trampling over states rights, appointing federal czars, shifting power from the elected representatives to the unelected functionaries. We are losing something very precious, which once gone, we will miss" Never heard him speak before, but this guy is pretty amazing.

@DuhYouIdiot Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

I have been a big fan of Hannan's for years, since the 1st time I heard him.

What is so great about Hannan is that he can convey the basics so eloquently and concisely meanwhile he applies his principles so soundly...

Good interview Heritage.

America will be fine, even if they take a bit more care of their societies weakest. Continental Europe will be fine even it grows together more and more. And Britain will be fine as a link between the Commonwealth, America and the continent and promoting their idea of cosmopolitanism.

So please stop all the gloom.

Please Mr Hannan continue the fight against the EUSSR. Our liberties have been severed and eroded over the previous Labour government. Turn back the tide of Social Democracy. Orwell that modest Etonian more than 80 years ago predicted the government evolution into all encompassing nanny state.

@TheCrappyaccount Check you PM box. That's just one of many.

[TheCrappyaccount]

@TheManiacalSatanist6 Could you give me the source of that please?

[TheManiacalSatanist6]

Oh, and by the way, factor in ALL of the taxes, i.e., Capital Gains, state income, federal income, and the top 1% (save for those who get special favors from the government) pay no less than 50% of their income in taxes. Sorry, retarded Socialists.

Do I give this video a thumbs up because of Daniel Hannan, or do I give it a thumbs down because the people interviewing him are just one of many of these crony-capitalist think tanks?

[CatooftheRepublic]

A friend of mine used to work on his staff and offered me a job over in England working with him. Really kicking myself now.... But i guess i need to fight the good fight here in the USA!

@malechauvinistxy I don't thinking I'm getting the video you want me to watch. What's the title?
