Couldn't prove it by me.

Hate to tell you, but you made it up. It's (not so) commonly known as a strawman argument. The only reason I know you made it up is because I've been posting trade threads (including FTAA threads) since arriving here in 1999. I would've been the first person to correct your imaginary adversary because I am pro-FTAA.

My guess is that you're so sensitive about being called a "kook" (itself likely a cause of some confusion on your part), that you simply assumed you've been called a "kook" in this specific regard.

But back to the FTAA--when all those heads of state and others periodically get together to discuss the FTAA, and all those black-hooded protestors gather outside, the reason the people inside the barricade call those outside names is because the ones outside are setting garbage cans on fire and throwing molotov cocktails at police. The sign over the door still states "FTAA Ministerial Meeting Conference."

When it all boils down to, is you support the FTAA and I don’t.

If it comforts you to think I’m an anarchist, go ahead and think so. I’m a constitutionalist and what you’re signing on to has nothing to do with our founding principles and our own sovereignty, except that it destroys them in large measure.

Despise me if you will, because that would only be fitting for someone that despises what you seek to implement.

I do not support the WTO. I do not support NAFTA. I will not support an NAU and I for sure won’t support the FTAA.

I consider those who do to be traitors to this nation.
