The New Right is not a revival of traditional conservatism.
After all, for the New Right, the conservatives have been sleepy stewards at best, since they have failed utterly to recognize "the danger Liberal Democrats represent, as it is these very democrats who have stolen the state", that belongs singly to the "true people", who are now setting to seize it.
This presentation will look to examine the nature of this New Right, for over the past fifteen years it has taken country after country by storm, and that storm should be studied, for prognosis is always first based on diagnosis.
Take in this presentation, and then watch the US vice-presidential debate.
