I'll get the popcorn.

Usually into the pockets of the blood-sucking exploiters (check out the Washington Times expose of the “Minutemen” as an example).

Medved can't even get his own facts straight here. The fundraising issue is with an offshoot of the Minutemen, not the larger group. Makes you wonder just what other facts he doesn't have straight.

[Mase]

This paranoid and groundless frenzy has been fomented and promoted by a shameless collection of lunatics and losers; crooks, cranks, demagogues and opportunists,....

Do you suppose Medved lurks here at FR?

I work for a large global corporation and watched the 4th qtr wrap up video presented by the COO of the company. When he referred to global sales he talked about our European Operations, Asian Operations and NAFTA Operations. Not the US or American operations (all but 1 division are in the USA) but NAFTA. They routinely refer to NAFTA as if it were the governing authority. I feel extremely uncomfortable every time I hear it used that way.

And BTW, the COO is an American. I wonder if he refers to himself as a Naftan.

[1rudeboy]

Maybe. Jerome Corsi still might . . . he was a FReeper.

[CFC__VRWC]

Oh boy, this oughta be fun.

[1rudeboy]

Just ask him to be consistent in his usage. European, Asian, and North American. Problem solved.

Are you sure the fundraising issues might not include The Paul Revere Society, among others?

Excellent and very satisfying column by Medved. Long overdue.

I guess no one told Michael about the toll road four football fields wide that they're trying to get built in Texas.

[BW2221]

On second read, they did but he doesn't see any implications in it.

This paranoid and groundless frenzy has been fomented and promoted by a shameless collection of lunatics and losers; crooks, cranks, demagogues and opportunists, who claim the existence of a top secret master plan to join the U.S., Canada and Mexico in one big super-state and to replace the good old Yankee dollar with a worthless new currency called “The Amero.”

... there’s no reason at all to believe in the ludicrous, childish, ill-informed, manipulative, brain dead fantasies about a North American Union.

Wow...isn't this just a little over the top? The phrase "me thinks he doth protest to much" springs to mind.

[1rudeboy]

As soon as I typed my response, I realized that this thread will wasted on mere popcorn. I'm thinking Mexican beer.

[1rudeboy]

"be" wasted

"I'll get the popcorn."

Extra butter on mine, please.

Medved's rant is best understood by the fact he is a social conservative but big government liberal. 

He's going to ignore the eminent domain and national security issues involved with the NAFTA super-highway because it is a public works project.

"And BTW, the COO is an American. I wonder if he refers to himself as a Naftan."

I would ask him that if I were you. I would have another job lined up first though. =)

I love my job...I'll just watch the video at home and make my snide comments to my wife. I know...real brave! LOL
