I guess the world is an open market now and the world is to be without borders.
That way cheap labor can be everywhere and evey nation can be turned into a third-world type of country.
The factories move overseas or out of the country for cheap labor and our country imports foreign worker to take our jobs at a fraction of the cost of American labor.
And our middle class is becoming an endangered species.
Indeed. I see civil conflict in the nation's future. Perhaps outright civil war.
We see a growing "separation" between the "blue side" (not so much as "states", but as a "side" representing one point of view) and the "red side". Increasingly, no compromise is possible, no common ground achievable - again, because the two sides are so morally, culturally, and economically opposed to one another.
And the politicians of both parties are fiddling while the nation smoulders and gets ready to burn. They are clueless. And this goes right up to the top _Republicans_, who either can't see, or won't see what's coming down the pike.
I've reached the point where I'll be as happy to see the Bush admistration go as the previous one.
Looking at our own borders, at our own invasion, one cannot help but wonder how much "safer" and how much more "secure" we _really_ are in the years subsequent to 2001.
I'm conservative, I'm not a troll - and I mean it.
