From your typing fingers to God's ears!
Look at the membership of the CFR and tell me she doesn't have a chance.
All of the final candidates will be of their choosing, unless there is a patriotic third party run and they will crush that for sure.
Don't be fooled by W standly briefly on his hind legs for a while there. He's got his orders and he'll do what he's told, same as the rest of them.
I can't think of one thing he HASN'T agreed to, no matter how liberal the agenda.
.....it doesn't allow the traditional Constitution based government that was established by the founding fathers to survive in its present form.
It'll be interesting to see how this "North American Community" will recognize the individual right to keep and bear arms. As of right now the one-worlders/gun-grabbers have a big problem -- firearms laws are actually being relaxed in most states, and more Americans than at any time in recent history are securing CCW licenses, fully aware of their 2nd Amendment rights.
A society like the one the CFR goons envision cannot function as intended with a bunch of "vigilante" types running around with "Liberty's teeth" packed on their person. ......And if they think they have a chance in hell of taking away our guns without suffering the consequences individually, their delusions would be dashed in short order.
The vetoless wonder. .....a liberal spender on steroids.
I wholeheartedly disagree. Ross Perot and Tom Tancredo have been kept out of the White House by their own shortcomings and not some CFR "vetting" process.
As for Perot, I don't believe Perot actually wanted to be president. He seemed to have a good shot at the office before he quit in the summer of 1992. By election day, he had been discredited by his own antics.
Before Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo) can be considered a serious candidate for the White House, he needs to first enter the big leagues--win a Senate seat, a governor's chair, or a Cabinet position. It's tough to run for president from the House--as Jack Kemp, Bob Dornan, and Dick Gebhardt, and others have learned.
The CFR may be an influential think tank that leans liberal, but it's not all-powerful. These days, the Heritage Foundation, the Cato Institute, and other such think tanks are giving it a run for its money.

Great, a National Championship of Treason.
By the way, the CFR plan has already gotten the approval.
If We the People, come tax time, refuse to continue financing a Government that subverts our constitution this way, perhaps we could get this Nation cleaned up, they'd have to listen or go bankrupt.
There is only one other solution. I'd place bets though, that the largest part of our people would rather sit on their fat butts and pretend our Sovereignty is not being threatened, that nothing interferes with their perfect little lives...than to tell the tyrants within our own government to CEASE AND DESISTS..or else.
As far as getting on TV news shows, maybe, or holding events where they can schmooze with politicians and get C-SPAN coverage.
There is one significant difference, though. Anyone can "join" the Heritage Foundation by sending them a check. As I understand it, one has to be invited to join the CFR, and only an elite few are so invited. (Someone posted a membership list a few years ago, but I wouldn't know where to find it. Anybody know?)
It seems to have gone missing.
I wonder why.
Here is what Concordia University thinks are the road blocks to total integration:
Challenges to regional integration in North America:
--greater inequality in size and power of countries (which implies the US must lose power to Mexico and Canada to equalize)
--greater income inequality (which implies that the US must lose wages in order to equalize)
--no major war; external threat underlying NAFTA (except maybe the "war on terror" and the "need" for continental security)
--US tradition of unilateralism (which means massive social engineering must take place to replace the idea of individual rights with "community rights". Happening in schools, universities and smart growth housing developments all over the nation)
No candidate should ever by nominated for public office or government job that has any relationship whatsoever with the CFR, IMO.
Also, whether in real life or a board game, one thing remains constant, smaller boarders are easier to protect.
Lastly, if we view the entire North American continent is viewed as one entire area to protect, who do we trust to protect it? Do you propose that we integrate our military with a Keystone Cop military of Mexico? What about Canada? There government regularly displays contempt for us and our ideals, would you have us integrate with them?
One more lastly, who really benefits from this? Granted our industry gets cheap labor, but in the long run, the burden is put upon the entire US tax payers, as it is OUR military that will be proping up Canada and Mexico. It will be OUR economy that will drive the economies of Canada and Mexico. It will be OUR taxpayers that will pay the taxes for all the social programs in Canada and Mexico.
24 kt gold is considered the purest MOST VALUABLE gold. Lesser kt wght is contaminated with other impurities, therefore LESS VALUABLE. Mixing in Canada and Mexico with the United States, is nothing more than diluting our strength, our economy, our values, and our overall worth. In essence, it dilutes everything that makes the United States THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH.
I read a lot about CAFTA. You most likely have not. If GWB agreed to this, he basically has given up what hundreds of thousands of UNITED STATES CITZENS have died and sacrificed for.
Its not harsh at all if what the document seems to read is carried out and implemented. USA will no longer exist as we know it, even remotely.
It will be OUR taxpayers that will pay the taxes for all the social programs in Canada and Mexico.
A Massive Refusal to pay taxes would be in order. Or dare I say civil war to end the tyranny? Both, I believe would be appropriate under the Constitution. We are, We the People, after all...why are we taking this treasonous stuff from the government?
I've actually read the agreement, although I skipped most of the tariff schedules.
The true tragedy of "open borders" and the mass psychosis of Western "flat worldism" is that there are nations out there who have no intention whatever to truly become integrated into such a model, and are only using it to get the West to weaken our traditional illiberal supports of our systems. Once we have done that, we'll get sucker punched then conquered by the sort of "world order" that idiotic liberal intellectuals in both the business community and the public sector believe they can tame using global commerce. Specifically, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, aka the Fourth Reich - is preparing for great war and global conquest while we twiddle our thumbs and dream of Starbucks in Xiamen.
"I prefer Xenophobe, since Xenophon was a great man and a brilliant leader. "
"The March of the Ten thousand", great book. The Greeks thought the Afghani's were insane. Not much has changed.
I wish you were wrong, but you are absolutely correct.
