I recall Bush senior being considered an internationalist also.

Both GH and GW Bush are globalists promoting the New World Order. (As was Clinton) The best definition I have seen of globalism is socialism in a business suit.

Globalists are behind the so called 'free trade' agreements that have nothing to do with free trade as you probably think of it. In these agreements, US sovereignty, & national security are sacrificed to open borders needed for the unimpeded movement of goods and natural persons, i.e. units of labor.

US business (not global corporations) and US workers are placed at a severe disadvantage by onerous taxes, extreme environmental regulations, political correctness. Countries such as China and India are excused from even minimal environmental regulations,from what we would consider even minimal humane working conditions, and any semblance of political correctness.

A goal of the NWO is the 'harmonization of standards of living' which was presented as everyone moving upward. In actuality the NWO is about control by a group of global elite, loss of sovereignty and freedom, and pushing down the standard of living of the middle class in first world countries.

I heartily agree with you. One of the MOST frustrating lines at the moment is how bad free-trade is for our economy. How would we know? We don’t HAVE free-trade.

Yes it is more costly for a US company to compete. We have placed these burdens on ourselves with elected governments. We think it makes us a better country for our citizens. If world competition is suggesting that we reduce our standards to those of the least cost nation, we can elect that and become one of them.

We have no way of enforcing our standards on others now save to put a tariff on them equal to the cost we placed on American companies. But our choice is to find a way to level the playing field or enter the economic demolition derby to see who could limbo the lowest.
