Thanks for the ping.

ARTICLE: "Citizens of both Canada and Mexico cannot freely own firearms. Nor can Canadians or Mexicans speak out freely without worrying about “hate crimes” legislation or other political restrictions on what they may choose to say."

I have never seen anyone discuss how the US, a nation which was founded on the principle of individual freedoms given to man as Divine Rights, can harmonize its laws and regulations with a socialist, oligarchical or ultra multicultural / PC country...and still retain the character and scope of those freedoms...as enumerated in the Bill of Rights, and our Constitution. What we were given by our founding fathers is not commonplace...it is unique.

Some time back, I posted on a thread which highlighted how free speech has been made a hate crime in the EU in regards to criticism of a so called gay rights agenda. I have over the years read stories of clergy being arrested both in Canada and the EU for preaching what would be called a traditional moral view of marriage.

People don't talk about the fact that the biggest proponents of the EU are France and Germany...both essentially socialist countries. Has anyone on these threads bothered to refute the assertion that this North American Union is step one of a multiphase process to establish the equivalent of the EU here in the West? (have they even read the articles?!)

They could refute it by showing logically why this North American 'agreement' cannot or will not establish an EU in this hemisphere. Nobody has addressed why the same sorts of bureaucrats who run the EU would not also run a North American Union.

Does Capitalism / Free Enterprise always win out in the battle of ideas...when confronted with the forces of socialism??

We know it doesn't...the prime example is right here in the US...ladies and gentlemen...as a product of our Free Enterprise system and Constitutional government...I present to you....Ted Kennedy.

Because it can't be done.

That's why we must be 'globalized'. Now, sit down and take your medicine /sarc
