Pilgrimage
Tomorrow I’m flying to the United States o yes.
Actually, holidaymaking in the US is closely related to blogging in my mind. You notice that the archives on the right go from June last year? Well that was just after coming home from a trip to Washington D.C., where I read The Right Nation and decided that it was time to start blogging.
That is one seriously inspirational book. If you are on the right and in the UK then this is such a great read for cheering you up. It describes how the Republican Party went from being almost locked out of power in the sixties, with permanent minorities in both houses of Congress, to being in a position of unprecedented strength. It’s like a manual for how to build a right-wing political coalition, even though the authors are scrupulously even-handed.
I’ve been away from blogging for a while, and I’ve decided to re-read The Right Nation while on holiday. Hopefully it will inspire me to return to the keyboard when I get back.
