Nick,

With all due respect , being UK, renders your opinion suspect re: US politics. The last time I looked Margaret Thacher was the last PM whose head was on straight (hmmm - one could say the same of Ronald Reagan re: US presidents). Anyway, as an educated US citizen who understands our Constitution & Bill of Rights (and the foundational philosophies of the "founders" vis a vis the Federalist Papers and an in depth study of that era - yes I am an "originalist") I also understand the danger Islam poses to western, Christian and Jewish, societies. Sir Winston wrote of the same before the turn of the 20th century. Until his very questionable appointment, and tirade over criticism of the same, I, like yourself, supported Gov. Christie as a potential presidential candidate. No more. Would you kindly ask my "attendant" to fetch me a nice hot lapsang su chang. please.
