Such conservatives ignore the Constitution Party members who win elections if they hold that opinion.
I will tell you this, even though I am forced to guess what you mean by the above comment (I need to refer to someone by title when quoting their words?). A strawman is a logical fallacy, and a common one at that . . . meaning that you should be able to demonstrate that my position* is logically-unsound without any difficulty. The fact that you fail to do so leads me to believe that you do not understand what a strawman fallacy actually is, but rather are using the term to make-up for your unwillingness to argue on the merits.

*Prof. Corsi needs to be reminded that it's not difficult to look-up his previous statements on the topic. In other words, one cannot run about claiming that Pres. Bush has a "secret plan" to dissolve the United States of America without taking the risk of being called a conspiracist. Moreover, one cannot defend himself of the charge by simply stating that the SPP exists. His problem is his contention why it exists.
By insinuating that Corsi made such an argument, you are making attacking a straw man and not any positions of Corsi himself. Therefore, your analogy is untenable.

I really wasn't planning on buying any insignias but I may now.
The only problem was it had been in dry-dock all that year back in the states. LOL
LOL! Good old capitalism.
Keep telling yourself that.
We get a lot of disinformation due to the fact that we have to wait for years and years via FOIA such as the recent Totalization Agreement with Mexico and the SPP papers. I wonder why the government goes into secrecy with dealing with our neighbor, Mexico?
We the people who pay the bills and have fought the wars for the world, don't have the right to know anymore. Mexico has these rights that we don't have anymore.
RE: "Do you think the "ruling class/government" of Mexico thinks they can actually have a relationship with the likes of Hugo Chavez, Cuba? Iran? Syria? A level playing field? A "comrade" in arms?"
Actually I was thinking of more mundane things along the lines of las mordidas and their role in "greasing" the day-to-day drama of life. Corruption and bribes. Though not ruling-class stuff (they get to do the "really big shew") it is the Mexican milieu.
For a large enough mordida police will look the other way. Thus it's far more than getting your garbage collected. It can buy impunity which means social and political conditions that contribute to abuse and suffering.. even death.
I cannot imagine the varieties of opportunities for million-dollar corruption at the ruling class level -- I don't think that they would even consider giving that up to join a "Community". They would do both, I bet. And I bet most would expect million-dollar mordidas from both.
"This whole process has been a long time coming, sneaking it's way into our daily lives. The creators of this *UNION* knew this idea wouldn't be universally accepted so, they've taken their time in it's implementation.
We also have to be more aware and guard against bills before congress that the globalists have snuck parts of the SPP into other bills. I am referring to the comprehensive immigration bill where it states that we should be guarding the borders of Belize and Guatamala. Go down to 114 and you will see where they want our borders to begin.

And that's a good point about disinformation. A lot of it is being caused by speculation simply because Washington appears to be reluctant to tell us much -- in straight talk.

Moreover, one cannot defend himself of the charge by simply stating that the SPP [the Sun]exists. His problem is his contention why it exists [to revolve around the Earth].
Here's a little tidbit I wasn't aware of until lately regarding sales tax rebates to foreign shoppers. Looks like the intergration is well on it's way.

This is the reason V. Fox would leak all his information to his people. He knew what the American people didn't know. About 2 weeks after Katrina Bush and Fox met. NOLA is now flooded with illegals. Who would have thought? All of this is totally disrepectful and arrogant on their part aimed at the very people who made the free world free. Mexico has never done anything to make the free world free. They continue to be "me too moochers".
Speaking of Corsi's FOIA request, he railed half the summer that Commerce's foot-dragging was evidence of nefarious intent. Now that he's had the information he requested for months, not a peep is heard. Could it be that he found nothing?
Well on its way since 1787. From your link:
The U.S. Constitution prevents state governments from taxing goods exported to foreign countries. As a result, states must grant sales tax exemptions or rebates on goods sold in the United States and shipped or taken to other countries.
Your McAllen Chamber of Commerce at work. We mustn't charge Mexico with anything. We just let the feds pump billions into this economy yearly.
Thanks for your link. I had heard about this but had never seen it. This article doesn't mention it but they also shop for free health care, free food and all. Then they head back to Mexico.
Read it and find out for yourself.
