Until recently, you didn’t hear people being referred to as “globalist” very often. But in a time of rising nationalism, those who see the upside of globalism have become a distinct — and often embattled — tribe.

Hillary didn’t miss it. This book is THE story about how Hillary quickly grasped what a free internet would mean VERY early. She made aggressive moves that that government should be able to regulate content, but was shot down.
This book by Poe is a must read. It was written like 15 years ago so the stories are dated, but very worth reading.
Well stated.
I think the two words mean the exact same thing, but one of the words almost nobody can disagree with, whereas the other word has been blamed for some of the worst things in history. Seems wise to go with the former.
The reason Trump could enter the race, and end run around the establishment was because of the internet. It isn’t just important, it utterly saved our freedom.
Its not as fun, but it’s even more critical than guns. In fact, one wonders why the founders didn’t make an Amendment before the 2nd, regarding free speech and journalism.... Oh, wait....
Those guys were smart. Free speech is the first freedom for a reason. Used well it can even allow you avoid the blunt force violence implied by the 2nd.
Thanks. I’ll be ordering that one this evening.
along with ISIS existing made the open door immigration policy impossible.
Good point.
I think the people have been ready at least since W's two big amnesty pushes in 2006 and 2007. No leader appeared then.
It takes quite a leader to go against practically the entire political establishment (both parties) and appeal directly to the people successfully. Such leaders are few and far between.
I'm afraid the leaders don't always arrive when the people are ready.
Ill be checking out that one you put up too. This one is in the Clinton white house era and centers on how internet journalists exposed Clinton and Monica, and other things.
The with was lighting fast to grasp what an unregulated net meant and tried hard to grasp it. Its worth knowing who Lady Macbeth is inside. She despises the ability to end run them.
Don't agree. Reagan end ran the establishment in 1980 well before there was an internet. Having the right leader at the right time is the most important thing.
The opposition also can, and does, use the internet.
I would not mind seeing every last globalist hanging from a gallows.
“.....and when that becomes despotic, to whom do you appeal?”
Precisely!
However I would like to propose a parallel idea. Remember the "try it, you'll like it" cereal campaign? When it comes to globalism, we tried it, we DON'T like it.
Plenty of would be leaders, just as there are plenty coaches around ready to win the Super Bowl, or the NCAA national championship in football or basketball, or the World Series, etc,. etc.
Plenty of leaders with the will, be few with the will and the way. Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo both tried to make the immigration issue a winner in 2008, but neither was well known and dynamic enough to pull it off.
And I'd say Trump absolutely is the only one who could have done what he has done the past 15 or so months.
The right leaders to change a nation's direction are few and far between.
But you can fool some of the people some of the time, and most of the people most of the time, and usually that’s all you need to do. Their problem arose from fooling themselves. Quite simply, they were wrong, and were also the last to know.
The globalists aren’t besieged yet. I long for the day when they are hiding in the wilderness feeding their children worms.
Yep. It's hard to hide Somali refugees slaughtering lambs in front of horrified children in a Maryland state park and then roasting them on a spit, as happened last year
Accompanied by calisthenic genuflections, too. And waking up around 4 am for the first set. AND giving up beer?!!!!! No frickin’ way.
