Texans make crappy Presidents.
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright once lamented that American military dominance was inherently unfair, and that the best remedy was to assist the advancement of competing military establishments in other countries. Supreme Court Justices Anthony Kennedy and Ruth Ginsburg have, in recent rulings, looked to the laws and governing philosophies of other nations for justification.
But while the majority of Americans do not embrace this contemptible thinking, neither do they stage mass protests in the wake of such court decisions, demanding the ouster of their authors, as would certainly have been the case only a few short years ago. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly evident that such alarming ideologies are not confined to those on the left.
Though the signs of a growing acceptance of this mindset have become glaringly obvious, most Americans remain reluctant to believe that their leaders would even contemplate the forfeiture of this nation’s sovereignty to such a degree. Yet the behavior of high placed individuals, including President Bush, raise extremely disturbing questions as to just how willing they might be to copy the Europeans.
Recently, Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Ernesto Derbez Baustista floated a “trial balloon” during a speech at the University of Texas, ominously revealing a possible answer. According to Baustista, Mexico and the United States should eventually become “integrated,” thus forming what can only be construed as the hub of a “North American Union,” no doubt eventually including Canada as well.
President Bush has indicated a disturbing sympathy towards such thinking, refusing to characterize Mexican immigrants as “illegal.” In contrast, he implies illegality by the “Minutemen” who now protect the border, having described them as “vigilantes.”
Conversely, he discusses the actions of the “undocumented immigrants” as “pursuing their dreams,” seemingly indifferent to the fact that Americans will be forced to shoulder the burden of fulfilling those dreams, ultimately at the expense of their own.
On other crucial fronts, the President clearly shows a willingness to embrace policies that significantly weaken the nation’s borders. When dealing with Canada, he steadfastly advocates a beef import program that clearly puts the interests of Canadian beef producers ahead of their American competitors.
Thus he allows an influx of beef from the north that threatens to seriously degrade this country’s food supply. Though a financial boon to Canadian agriculture, it provides no incentives to enhance the quality of beef produced there while undermining the viability of American cattle growers.
Meanwhile, President Bush has been championing the “Law Of the Sea Treaty” (LOST), whereby seagoing Americans would henceforth be subject to a maritime version of the “International Criminal Court.”
The perceived “benefits” of this blurring of national boundaries might initially sound attractive, particularly to individuals whose primary impetus is monetary. But America stands to lose far more than it could ever hope to gain by compromising its freedom and independence.
Although indispensable to national security, an able military is not the key to a strong nation. Such strength lies within its culture. America cannot remain strong or great if people who uphold neither its society nor its laws, but instead seek only after its wealth, overwhelm it.
Despite the establishment of the “European Union” that continent’s vibrancy and greatness continue to decline as a result of its own cultural erosion. America may soon follow.
Trouble is, it sounds believable.
And I'm dying from laughter at such a ridiculous statement.
The hilarious thing is that there are people believing they will be carrying Ameros around by 2010.
So the CFR doesn't have any connection to the government?
"On March 23, President George W. Bush will host his Mexican and Canadian counterparts at his ranch in Crawford, Texas. A prime topic on the trilateral agenda will be the porosity of the borders between the U.S. and its neighbors to the north and south.
In anticipation of this session, Mexican President Vicente Fox has played the victimization card. At a March 16 press conference, he stated that new walls running along parts of the U.S.-Mexico frontier “must be demolished” because they are “discriminatory” and “against freedom.” “No country that is proud of itself should build walls,” he added. “It doesn’t make any sense.”
Conditions along the Rio Grande bear heavily on national security, and President Bush must not allow President Fox to dominate the parleys with self-serving tirades about U.S. policy. In addition to ensuring the security of the U.S.- Canada and U.S.-Mexico borders, North American decision makers must focus on the 600-mile Mexican-Guatemalan interface. Mexico’s southern flank—an open sesame for drug traffickers, illegal aliens, smugglers, and terrorists— constitutes a porous, crime-ridden, and largely neglected third border of the United States."
But I bet you believe the "da Vinci code" book is "truth", right?
They are driven by reactionary emotion, and not by thought.
And because of that, they are in no way, shape, or form conservative.
That's why they are best ignored (especially after we've beaten them to a pulp ;). It must be a miserable existence they live, and it's best that we not allow ourselves to be infected by their poison.
I have not read the book and I won't see the movie.
What a bizarre leap. Da Vinci code?? ROFLOL!
And I'm dying from laughter at such a ridiculous statement.

Yes, just keep laughing as you watch reality. Just keep an eye on what the illegal immigration bill is going to do -- with our social security being given to illegals already, the Congress working hard to give AMNESTY to ANYONE OR ANYTHING that ensures they get re-elected, e.g. the Mexican vote and the campaign-dollar donators...yes, just keep laughing as the hoards just keep coming into our country uncontrolled....your own government making a mockery of our system of laws, and rewarding criminal anarchists....yes, real funny isn't it???
I am sure the CFR is behind the DaVinci Codes as well. Dan Brown is just their pawn.
These conspiracy theories seem to be showing up all over the place.
It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
Glad I read your tagline. ;)
You got THAT right.
OMYGOSH the black helicopters!!! :)
It's funny for me personally because my father and uncle were major players on the Trilateral Commission. It makes no difference who is President of what country or what currency is used because we rule the world from the basement of Chase Manhattan Bank anyway.
