For lovers of Churchill, Burke, or just admirers of a good, rollicking (and conservative) speech: I give you Andrew Roberts

New Criterion Link

Andrew Roberts, author of a recent Churchill biography, was given the Burke Award by New Criterion magazine. He relates his love for both Churchill and Burke, and their close relationships as supreme British conservatives.

It's long, it's sparkling, it's filled with ideas good, noble, and true (and with which I of course agree).

“Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters. –Daniel Webster (1782-1852)"
