Conservatives Take Over . . . LONDON!?!

Thats right.  Conservative candidate Boris Johnson defeated "Red Ken" Livingstone to become mayor of London.  In fact, conservatives all over England swamped to victory in local elections yesterday that have dealt a serious blow to John Major Gordon Brown's government.  Labour was awfully quick to toss aside pro-American Tony Blair, but I can't help but wonder if they don't miss him now.   I can't imagine how David Cameron won't become England's next Prime Minister.

There is a lesson to be learned in European politics right now for America.  We are right now on the brink of walking the road much of Western Europe has just finished treading.  Huge government spending, universal health care, and government-enforced multiculturalism have left post-Cold War Europe weakened and vunerable.  But in the last several years, despite its reputation, Europe has become to move back to the right because so much of the European left's promises have failed.  Before last night, the most important victory was that of Nicholas Sarkozy in France, but also includes Silvio Berlusconi's return to power in Italy and Angela Merkel's election as Chancellor of Germany.  (Let us not forget about Harper of Canada and Calderon of Mexico)

The potential presidencies of either Hilary Clinton or Barack Obama will lead America down the same path that has destroyed Europe.  It would be foolish to march down a path that even Europe is now abandoning.  All the more reason to have President McCain joining Prime Minster Cameron, President Sarkozy, Prime Minister Berlusconi, and Chancellor Merkel as allies against the Islamo-Facists who mean to destroy all our ways of life.
