The Cult Of Farage - Hero's Welcome In the US

They love him in the States just like we do here!

"Nigel Farage was among his fans in the US.

"He's awesome and cool," 20-year-old Alain Robert told Sky News.

Political writer Randy Foreman was even more gushing saying the UKIP leader had all the appeal of James Bond.

"He's absolutely a fantastic politician. We just don't have them here like that in the United States."

We don't have 'em like that here, apart from the legend that is Farage

"Mr Farage's YouTube videos berating European bureaucrats and taking on the might of Westminster have made him something of a cult figure on the right of American politics.

So organisers of the biggest political event of the year for US conservatives, the Conservative Political Action Conference just outside Washington DC, invited him this year instead of a British conservative politician - a break with tradition."

There are no British Conservative politicians left. They are all a progressive Oxbridge joke, the People's Army will free us from their PPE yoke.

It is a shame Farage wasn't born in the States because they'd make him President without a doubt. I guess we're lucky that he is UK only, so that he will be PM here one day.

That is why a US attendee at the Washington Conservative COnference so rightly said about the phenomenon that is Farage

"He's absolutely a fantastic politician. We just don't have them here like that in the United States."

It's because he is not "just another big government liberal". He is with thepeople, of the people and that is why he will be elected by the people. Conservatives have been tricked and cheated by the elite for too long, but now the people's time has come and all their tricks like PEGIDA can't stop the people.

Jeb Bush is not a progressive. He is a Republican. Those two categories are mutually exclusive in US politics in the present climate. Jeb Bush is not a right-wing ideologue, true, but he is most definitely a conservative.

claig · 28/02/2015 20:15

'Is Jeb Bush just another ‘big government’ liberal?'

blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2015/02/06/a-president-jeb-bush-would-trample-on-reagans-legacy/

Of course he is . And Farage told them in Washington that the Republicans will lose because they are progressives. He told them that they have to follow the success of UKIP and break away from the progressives in the Republican Party, stop working as the Tea Party within trying to change the Republican Party and form their own truly conservative non-progressive party if they want to stand a chance of winning.

That is what has happened to the progressive Tory Party under the metropolitan moderniser, Cameron. They have lost 20% of their Tory voters because they have had enough of "just another big government liberal", moderniser and progressive.

'Jeb Bush is a progressive?'

Of course he is. That is why he is the Establishment's hope for the Republican candidate, but he doesn't go down well with ordinary Republican activists who don't like progressives. But the Establishment will probably get their way as they always do.

Jeb Bush is a progressive? Hmm

And the reason PEGIDA are being publicised and why it is spreading across Europe in countries where populist parties are likely to challenge the elite's parties in upcoming elections is because the elite need a European wide political movement in order to smear the European wide people's revolt of populist parties against their banking, taxation, backhander, lobbying and climate change scams.

OP posts:
claig · 28/02/2015 19:50

PEGIDA are against TTIP. That will be used to smear any political opponents of the elite's TTIP plans.

I wouldn't be surprised if PEGIDA are also against fracking (haven't checked) because the elite need to smear opponents of fracking too.

Here is the left wing Establishment Daily Mirror runnin a Britain First story

"Britain First have told Buzzfeed that their policies chime with Ukip's, and have confirmed this in their Facebook page. They repeatedly congratulate Ukip on their victories. And they're telling their supporters to vote for Ukip.

But Ukip say it's a TORY plot

When we asked him about the group, Ukip's Head of Press Gawain Towler told us: "For all I know they could be a set up by the Tory party to smear us."

www.mirror.co.uk/news/ampp3d/surprise-you-how-similar-britain-4530710

It's not a Tory plot because the Tories aren't important enough. They aren't the elite.

But Fox is the station for the right, Sarah Palin and the Tea Party types. It is not for progressives. They have CNN and the BBC.

Fox News loves an ignorant bigot, that much is true.

claig · 28/02/2015 19:33

There are elections all over Europe coming up and the elite are petrified of their parties losing. That is why we hear about tiny groups like Britain First and the newly created PEGIDA. As soon as the elections are all out of the way, they will disappear from public news.

Claig you are deluded if you think that is the case.

claig · 28/02/2015 19:30

ragged and RhoticSpeaker you are right about ordinary Americans not being interested in Farage and why shoud they be. Most of them are not interested in Cameron either and priobably don't know who he is and they are right because t them he is irrelevant. America is a huge power and Cameron and Farage are mere minnows.

But US political conservatives, Republicans etc like Sarah Palin and so on all know Farage and all like him because he is one of them, not a progressive like Jeb Bush. They like Farage. But he is not on the radar of ordinary US voters.

But Farage goes down a storm on Fox News because they like a straight talking guy rather than a mealy mouthed progressive.

'Supporting UKIP were Britain First amongst others'

Lumpy, please look into conspiracy theory to understand how the world really works. Britain First are given publicity in order to try and discredit UKIP. Today we had PEGIDA in Newcastle. PEGIDA will also be used to try and discredit UKIP and even to discredit the battle against TTIP, since the German set up PEGIDA are also against TTIP.

The elite are petrified of UKIP because they are against TTIP, against the climate change scam and will scrap the elite's Climate Change Act as well as leaving the elite's EU. They have to try and discredit UKIP because otherwise they know their whole game is up. But it is not working, they are failing.

Big welcome my Ass.

Indeed. I'm American and a news junkie. This was so far below the radar in the US that I learned about it on MN.

ragged · 28/02/2015 19:05

I should have known Claig started this...

When Louise Brown got acquitted, my cousin complained about cheering Brits: she'd seen footage of the pub in LB's home village cheering and assumed that was the whole UK reaction.

I've just checked my hometown newspaper; I can't begin to explain how free-market anti-Obama the paper and city are. Military international top 10 for size in USA, Republicans gather there for National conventions one yr in 3. The only coverage of Farage is AP press wires, about things like breastfeeding comments & Al Murray. Big welcome my Ass.

LumpySpacedPrincess · 28/02/2015 19:01

I can't help but bite, I have had the idiots knocking on my door for weeks.

Seriously claig, I am kind of hoping you are not a real person but a bunch of daily mail reporters on their lunch break.

The "peoples army" were protesting today outside the conference.

Supporting UKIP were Britain First amongst others. Sad

LumpySpacedPrincess · 28/02/2015 18:53

Nice

They are racist, sexist and homophobic. I can only conclude that anyone who supports them holds the same values.

claig · 28/02/2015 10:40

They said the people and Farage were finished, that we have peaked and are in decline, but Farage told them on the village green "rumours of my demise are greatly exaggerated" and you should have heard the cheers of the people, seen the jigs and japes of the elderly, the skipping and singing of the young. They said the people's revolution is over, but from what I saw, it's only just begun.

The metropilitan elite are having joint chats and making joint points and joint plans about how to returf their lawns before the extent of the calamity suffered at the hands of the People's Army dawns.

OP posts:
claig · 28/02/2015 10:34

There are no more of their lawns to be torn up. The metropolitan elite's cabbage patches have faced devastation already.

Disappointed- was hoping for a "tearing up their lawns" by now...........

claig · 28/02/2015 10:29

Now there are "joint webchats" as they almost join in unison, in quasi coalition against the people's volition. It's desperate, but it's too late, the victory of the People's Army draws ever nearer.

"Farage hits out at 'malicious' rumours he is 'seriously ill' as he vows to lead Ukip in 'all elections to come'"

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2972508/Farage-hits-malicious-rumours-seriously-ill-vows-lead-Ukip-elections-come.html

They're desperate. There are no depths to which they will not stoop. They have got their best, most cunning, Oxbridge teenage spin doctors and think tank teenagers on the case. They have no shame, they are beyond disgrace, they fear the People's Army will put them in their place.
