"It has been widely reported in American conservative circles that Blair and Clinton were big buddies"
The same has been reported about Blair and Bush.
"Then there is this national ID push in the UK and that if a citizen doesn't take it, they cannot travel on mass transit?"
Not quite, there is an ID card scheme a while away, but that is aimed at preventing illegal immigration.
"What about the gun bans? IS Blair a gun grabber?"
You simply cannot compare US gun policy to ours. British policy has always regardless of government to restrict gun ownership.
That's not a rebuttal. Look at the relationship between Bush #41 and Clinton, now. Almost father/son. Given the lack of action to seal our borders and the stealth efforts at a merge between USA, Canada and Mexico, I put Bush #43 in exactly the same category as Clinton, without the egrigious gun bans. That's only because for most of the terms in question pro-gun forces were in control of the Congress. Bush #41 coined the term New World Order as much that it came into general usage as a result of his speeches. Bush #41 is CFR. Clinton is CFR and although Bush #43 is NOT, his VP and most of his cabinet belong to that supremely secretive and powerful group dedicated since 1921 to bringing about a Single World Government. Blair is a globalist. Where did he stand on joining the EU? Does he belong to the Bilderbergers? Yep.
