Quit your BS. Demonstrate to me that Robert Pastor is more of a threat to our Republic than any (big-league) professor identified in Dinesh D'Souza's Illiberal Education.
You don't want to get into a discussion of the English language here. Trust me.
You don't want to get into a discussion of the English language here.
I'm scairt now!
Trust me.
Why? You've given me no reason to trust you so far.
Bring on your discussion. From what you've evidenced so far it should be interesting.
Do you not disrespect yourself in the process or does that only apply to others?
I was long out of college by 1981. And you were in what grade, again?
I'd rather everybody lived in "small-r" republican societies (liberty, separation of powers, representation for provincial governments (like the U.S. Senate pre-17th Amendment), electoral colleges, and basically U.S.-like Constitutions and Bills of Rights). However, if we attempt to impose that on the world, we'll never be free of higher taxes and loss of human treasure.
Something I don't particularly agree with. We have enough trouble policing ourselves, so how can we be trusted with policing other countries' affairs?
Meanwhile, in other parts of the hemisphere hear the "Partnership, discipline and productivity for a transformed country” lecture. Partnership being public/private, productivity being outsourcing production and a transformed country--- well, the NAU first the FTAA next.

"Thank you for taking the time to contact me. I apologize for the delay in my response. I value the correspondence I get from people back home in Wisconsin, and I would like to take this opportunity to address your concerns.
There are no plans to merge the sovereign nations of the United States, Canada, and Mexico into a new state. Further, no legislation that would create such an organization has come before Congress.
The idea of a North American Union has been widely attributed to the trilateral initiative between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, called the "Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) of North America."
The SPP was announced in March of 2005 by President George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin as an effort to increase security and enhance prosperity among the three countries.
Soon after the March 2005 meeting of the SPP the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) published a report titled Building a North American Community, which had been labeled by some as the "blueprint" for a North American Union. Its central recommendation is the establishment of a North American economic and security community by 2010.
The CFR is an independent think tank and has no affiliation with the U.S. government; therefore the proposals are CFR's own recommendations.
Again, thank you for contacting me. I appreciate knowing your thoughts on this issue."
Sincerely,
Herb Kohl
U.S. Senator
That's what makes these threads so funny. Somebody simply has to whisper, "Pastor," and folks like you fall on your hands and knees and start yelping like tiny dogs.
As for your English lesson, you won't get one. I thought about it, but then realized that it would be fruitless to discuss language with someone who gets his definitions from Wikipedia. I mean, that is just bone-jarring stupid.
I thought about it....
I'll bet you did. And then you thought you better not, IMO of course.
...but then realized that it would be fruitless to discuss language with someone who gets his definitions from Wikipedia. I mean, that is just bone-jarring stupid.
I was simplifying things for your benefit, not mine.
You're response, overall, is childish, petulant and rather pathetic.
Have you no stability in thought such that you've got to constantly change your "motto"?
No, I don't think his job position carries much weight, nor do I fear him as deeply as you do. No, I haven't changed my homepage for years. And finally, I reply to you at my convenience, not yours.
...wasn't on your FR homepage today?
