“Third option: He knows they’re up to no such thing...”
At some point you naysayers are going to either face facts or give up the phoney act. Frankly ReignOfError, I get the impression that the actors here who feign denial and use “tinfoil hat wearing” attacks, do so in an attempt to silence discussion of an agenda with which they AGREE. It’s getting harder and harder to dismiss it’s existence when 19 States have already introduced resolutions opposing the creation of a North American Union. That’s a lot of opposition by a lot of Legislators for something that doesn’t exist.
Now if you want serious. The CFR is an organization. So is Yale. So is Wal mart. They do indeed have some very powerful members, and by virtue of that have significant influence. But in the final analysis, all proposals for any changes in our nations laws and sovereignty have to come in front of the voters and their representatives.
I know this is tough, but just relax, I am going to hit you with something. There are members of the CFR that do not support the entire agenda if any of it at all. IT IS BIPARTSIAN. It is a gathering of the minds.
Does that mean these folks don’t support certain parts of developing an open trading system, no. There are Capitalist Conservatives and Libertarian Conservatives and Short Conservatives and Tall Conservatives (and fat Conservatives, a position for which I am over qualified).
Just because we may not like the sound of something does not mean it is bad and just because something is being proposed does not mean it will happen.
If Fred Thompson has a position in the NAU argument, it could be that it is just that, a position, on that may be supported by capitalist ideas. Maybe he likes a few items that can work as long as they are in line with Federalist principles.
