Daniel Hannan CPAC 2012 speech

Here's the Englishman of our era who's trying to warn us: don't follow us! I can't describe his speech any better than theRightScoop: "If you want to hear from someone who unmistakably understands the profound impact of America’s founding and believes there is still time for its citizens to take hold of its bureaucratic laden government and return it back to the will of it’s founding, then you must hear this speech from Daniel Hannan."

"If you repeat our mistakes, if you shift power from the 50 states to Washington, from the elected representative to the federal czar, from the citizen to the state, we know exactly what lies in store for you."



"We are at the end of the road that you have just set out along. We're screeching towards the cliff. And a couple of us, a very small number of us, in the parliaments of Europe are trying desperately to jam the breaks on while there's still time. And you know, we look up, and what do we see in our rear view mirror? We see you, trying to overtake us! Accelerating frantically in the direction that we have been going in. My friends, there is still time to turn aside."
