Re: Cameron and American Conservatism

Posted on July 11th, 2009 by Jack Ross

As someone whose taken kindlier to Cameron then some others in the TAC orbit, I welcome this post.  Having said that, I think its a complete fools’ errand to look for “communitarianism” in the Republican Party of the tea partiers.  That David Brooks is Cameron’s best friend among ostensible conservatives this side of the pond speaks volumes on this score.

The best bet remains, as I’ve said before, in what will be the more conservative half of the eventual liberal crack-up, which certainly won’t take place any time before 2016 and possibly not for many a year after that.
