"The United States government has no Constitutional authorization to promote any of these things. Next "controversy"?"

My point was that this is not a wise item to focus on since the overpopulation of the third world ultimately hurts the U.S. These same groups have usually have no objection to many of the other things we do to try influence countries overseas like promoting democracy or limiting nuclear research or promoting values.

BTW, I suspect the constitutional "justification" comes from the right to regulate foreign commerce and foreign relations. It's a stretch but are so are so many things the federal government does - like national drinking ages and speed limits.

You're right - it's a stretch ... and we don't need more "stretches," we need fewer!

You guys are missing the point. The article was intended to mean "US Nazi bigots step up activities overseas." This is the crAP reporting afterall. They hate us.
