Celebrate! Constitutional government restored and freedom!

We celebrate here today in Britain.  We celebrate constitutional accountability for government.

The Brown cabinet is dull, capable and accountable.  In response to the terrorist car bombs, Brown is urging caution, calm, tolerance and divestiture of executive power.

And we celebrate freedom as the Palestinian hard liners release Alan Johnston, a hostage for 114 days.

We celebrate unity, as Islam and Britons, one and the same, embrace peace and security.

Oh yeah.  We celebrate ridding ourselves of a troublesome colony.

Although I was born in the United States, my first memory of America, in common with my maternal grandparents, is the sight of the Statue of Liberty from the deck of a ship coming into New York harbour.  I was five years old.

I've never stopped being inspired by what it means to be an American.

Now Britain is showing the way to regain the truth of "land of the free and home of the brave".  Don't be less.
