So I googled Corporate Citizen
I also decide to look up Global Citizenship
BUCHANAN: I mean, are you a globalist?
HAYDUK: Well, globally...
BUCHANAN: Globalist.
HAYDUK: ... 23 countries in the world permit residents to vote in local elections.
BUCHANAN: What do you think? What do you think?
(CROSSTALK)
HAYDUK: What do I think? I think its a logical policy. Its a basic fundamental principle.
(CROSSTALK)
BUCHANAN: You are a citizen of the world. Tancredo and I are citizens of the world.
HAYDUK: Im a democrat with a small D, right?
BUCHANAN: Were limited. Tancredo and I only have one country. Were limited people. We only have one country.
I am an American watching my nation try to convert me into a Citizen of the North American Union. My currency is the Dollar. My Representative reports to a body in D.C. whose power has been usurped by a foreign multi-national interest, with a Union Parliament Executive for the NAU reporting to the Union Leader. Oh, we're on our way. A world Security Council with an Army and the handful of Union Leaders, led by the World Chairman, an avowed Communist Internationalist. One harmonic, government-endorsed and licensed 'church'. Everyone not marching in goose-step is a terrorist, especially Believers.
This is utopian socialist bull__!! It's the dream of one big happy world where there are no borders or "trade barriers" However this translates as: "We are poor, backward, slothful and archaic. We want to be rich without working for it. Look at America, they have created a free and rich society. It takes too long and too much work to do this ourselves so lets jus loot America instead"
Yesterday I watched Higgely (sp?)Town Heroes on the Disney Channel with my two-year old grandson.
The children wanted to count ducks on a pond. The ducks weren't quacking, so one of them picked up a duck and discovered that it was covered with oil. The hero of the day was called in to assess the situation. Who was the hero? The Evironmentalist dessed in a tie-dyed tee shirt. The Environmentalist made an announcement through a megaphone asking all boaters to take their boats off the lake (which they did very happily) and she stuck a No Boating sign at the edge of the pond. I'm not going to get into a discussion about motor boats on lakes here. I'm just pointing out the fact that our kids are being turned into "Global Citizens" right under our noses.
Global corporations truly have no allegiance to any nation or to any system of government other than that which benefits itself directly at any given moment. The owners of such corporations are not interested in whether your or my grandchildren live in a self-governing society that values all types of liberty. They have removed themselves from the commonweal and therefore cannot be citizens of any one country in the Aristotelian sense.
Proponents of globalism are really opponents of self-government of any one nation which requires borders and a citizenry that see its future and well being connected to a definable people and place.
