It's the stuff revolutions are made of.
They are "ideological tools, championed by activist elites."
The large-scale movement of populations is often seen as an indicator of the coming world society. To transnationalists, it is a positive development that reveals the weakness of the nation-state and adds to that weakness. Loyalties and commitments are diffused. One transnational scholar writes, "Traditional notions like citizenship, political activity, entrepreneurship and culture are de-linked from specific places and spaces."
"Many of them have ceased to think of themselves as Americans..."
Yeah, I don't think of them as Americans either. Easier to fight an enemy when he/she is not part of your country.
Jorge is not listening!
Traditional patriotic Americans ARE under attack. Rest assured. And now might be the critical time. We need to keep our heads on straight and not falter.
"Building a North American Community," the official Council on Foreign Relations ten year project to erase America's borders.If you want to know why many of our most powerful politicos and media moguls are dead set against building a fence, check the CFR membership roster. A fence is like Holy Water to the devil, to CFR members. A border fence is 180* counter to their goal of melting the USA into the NAC, with one common outer border around the USA, Canada and Mexico, with no "interior" controls at all on people or goods.
This is damned serious stuff folks. If you don't know who is in the CFR (both 'rats and "Davos Republicans) then you don't even know how the power game is really played.
How quickly that tune will change if many countries became copies of a Zimbabwe or North Korea. Then, suddenly, Old Glry gets waved--" Um, yeah! We've always been patriotic!"
Response: The attitude of the "Transnationalists"(Internationalist, Cosmopolitanism same thing) started circa WWI. Even earlier in Europe.
Bump for later.
This is what the EUrocrats are pushing.
They are trying (desperatly) to erase national identities like German, French, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Polish and even English.
They want the euro-sheeple to only see the EU.
Along these lines are the Global Civil Society. Some of what happens in headlines is incomprehensible without knowledge of the Global Civil Society, not to be confused with civil society.
But how can Earth ever join the United Federation of Planets if we don’t have a One World Government? < /sarcasm>
President Bush is a transnationalist. So are the majority of Republicans. America has been on this road for a long time--at least starting since WW2.
I do not hold much hope of reversing course. The future--50 to 100 years from now--looks dark for the concept of nationalism and America as a traditional state.
For any politician to get anywhere, it seems he must bow down and pay homage to the shrine of transnationalism. We have already hooked up our economy on the gravy train. It would take a massive revolution at this point to get America off the road that leads to the NWO.
"Immigration Reform" my arse! This is NOT immigration reform! It's "let's change the laws so that people aren't breaking them any more." As a citizen, someone who's paid taxes in this country for nearly 30 years, I demand to know which laws I can break with impunity, where the government will change the laws, after the fact, to make the illegal acts I committed OK. For instance, I think that I want to be allowed to park in handicapped spaces from now on. Or in front of fire hydrants. And maybe rob a bank every now and then, just when I need some extra cash.
The immigration reform that we really need must take place in Mexico! I say that we need to say to Mexico, "your immigration laws will be put into effect on your citizens who have come here illegally. They will not be allowed to own property, and will be deported."
I keep hearing about how we need to put these people on the track for citizenship. Given the protest rallies I've been seeing, I'd have to say that these people don't want to become American citizens. What they want to do is return America to Mexican rule, at least the southern states. And that's NOT immigration. It's an alien invasion, a hostile act by a foreign country. And those invaders need to be treated as such.

Globalization became Plan A. for the CFR and pals when the Soviet Union collapsed, as if communism was dead as a doornail. Capitalism would raise third world countries to decent living standards, big business would thrive as never before, markets would boom worldwide, life would be good. (Islamofascism hadn't even been thought of, but even now has been waved away as not important. Accede to mullahs' demands and everything will be fine.) Just don't get in the way of globalization and God forbid anyone secure US borders. The latter is like sunlight to Dracula.
Elitists never considered what would happen if capitalism didn't solve third world problems. If an endless stream of millions of illegals headed north and stayed in the US, never returning home? (No problemo...simply pander to Hispanic voters.) Overwhelmed hospitals closing, the burden of educating/providing welfare for millions of nontaxpayers, not to mention incarcerating felons...the human cost of victims, plus the cost of putting illegals in jail. Drugs, gangs, the debasement of American culture, mores, laws. People who don't intend to assimilate, won't learn English and worse...marching openly in the streets, shouting defiance, that they'll work night and day to split the US and bring about Aztlan.
And here's the kicker. Many illegals, if bin Laden blows up LA or San Francisco, will run back to Mexico and points south. They owe no loyalty to the US, won't serve in the army, wouldn't defend this country if you begged them. Why in the world would we give them amnesty? They're robbing us blind. (If I robbed the Quickie-Mart, I'd be jailed.) It must be a matter of degree.
