Daniel Hannan, British MEP [Member of the European Parliament] warns America not to follow Europe into socialist hell. He is more patriotic than any Democrat. Terrific speech.
Daniel Hannan, who has been a conservative member of Parliament for South East England since 1999, shot to fame among the right in this country for his 2009 European parliament speech that went viral online. The truth, prime minister, is that you have run out of our money, he famously told former UK leader Gordon Brown.
He came to CPAC as a patriotic British conservative with a dire warning: the United States, in which the British ideal of representative government reached its most sublime form, is on a crash course to wind up in a European Union-scope disaster.
If you repeat our mistakes, if you shift power from the 50 states to Washington we know exactly what lies in store for you, Hannan said.
I am living in your future, or at least the future your leaders seem intent on taking you, he said. And believe me, you are not going to enjoy it.
Were screeching toward the cliff with a few politicians desperately trying to hit brakes, Hannan said. When we look in the rearview mirror we see you, desperately trying to accelerate!
"You look at the reforms being undertaken by this [Obama] Administration - they're not a series of random initiatives that have been latched together addidentally - they amount to a comprehensive policy of europeanization.....european healthcare, european day care, european college education, european nuclear disarmament, european carbon taxes....the whole package. And I tell you when you adopt those things you don't just become like any other country....you become less prosperous, less independent, less democratic, and less free."
My friends, there is still time to turn aside, he said.
