Did LIberal Elites Ruin The Power of Britain?

Johnathan V. Last from the Weekly Standard thinks so. What can we learn from the history of England?

Does this sound familiar?

"These elites could see evil only at home. The French intellectual Simone de Beauvoir did not believe that Germany was a "threat to peace," but instead worried that the "panic that the Right was spreading" would drag France, Britain, and the rest of Europe into war. St"afford Cripps, a liberal Labor member of Parliament, feared not Hitler, but Churchill. Cripps wrote that after Churchill became prime minister he would "then introduce fascist measures and there will be no more general elections."

Read the whole thing. Good Grief, history really does repeat itself.
