Anti EU does not equal anti-Europe (a geographical mass). His party does nothing to enhance true liberty. UKIP is the true conservative party in the uk.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13992448866089346130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19769829.post-61917774619855606312009-04-29T18:35:00.000+01:002009-04-29T18:35:00.000+01:00Heck, I even watched that show myself, and missed ...Heck, I even watched that show myself, and missed the 'libertarian' tag. But is he an Austrian too? I think he might be. But then anyone who talks on the Judge's show, alongside Schiff, Rockwell, Paul, et al, must at least be a fellow traveller to the Mises school.Jack Maturinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00903651577858853608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19769829.post-72974072817890717732009-04-29T11:29:00.000+01:002009-04-29T11:29:00.000+01:00Closet?

How can anyone describe him as being in the closet when he openly describes himself as "being a libertarian" on Freedom Watch TV show?<br /><br />http://freedomwatchonfox.com/category/show-archives (3rd vid down)<br /><br />or<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUwy3YMFsJ0Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19769829.post-84259886001061822892009-04-28T20:03:00.000+01:002009-04-28T20:03:00.000+01:00I'll have to get that book and read it (I had hear...I'll have to get that book and read it (I had heard of it before but always had other books I wanted to read first).

Whatever degree of a popular element a nation adopts, it must be checked and balanced the same as any other element or it becomes tyrannical. A job the House of Lords once fulfilled.<br /><br />These may or may not come close to your views (which I'm sure do differ in various areas), but it is always interesting to meet someone who does not worship the great Mob-god. Of course, today one is painted as a believer in dictators or something if they think democracy isn't the bee's knees - they just don't get that someone might be against all types of tyranny!<br /><br />Hitler was Democratically elected! <br /><br />It always creates financial chaos when the people realise they can vote for those who will give out the most freebies! Indeed, it just generally leads to chaos which is almost always replaced by totalitarianism of one sort or another - sound familiar!<br /><br />It is a great speech, though. More like Hannan would be very welcome, even if he thinks Democracy so great.<br /><br />The American system (originally) seems to me to be an imitation of our past system that i think served us well - a King (President), a House of Lords (Senate), and a House of Commons (Congress).Rutherfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777460609098278212noreply@blogger.com
