Distortion? hmmmmm (slappin forehead) Of course I must have been looking at our border when I typed that. Or thinking about Mexico's lawsuit against us for not opening our borders to their trucks yet, as per NAFTA.

Or maybe it was Fox's statement about us needing to get over our "notions of sovereignty" that I was thinking about when I typed that distortion.

What "notions" the leaders of other nations have are meaningless, and to place blame on Bush for Fox's crap is a distortion.

Fidel says that Gore rightfully won the elections, and Bush stole them, are we to give George the heave-ho, and give the reigns of State to its rightful heir...Albert Gore?

No, most of us don't give a damn about what other nations think, unless it promotes our agenda.

I say that the anti-immigration crowd give Fox more gravitas than he actually has.

As far as NAFTA, it's a law, it was ratified by Congress, it pertains to "free trade", and it's supposed to allow trucking both ways, as long as all regulatory measures are met. It provides a free trade zone for our goods, and brings back competitively priced goods to our citizens. How is that a relegation of our sovereignty?

Let's examine that "old America" that you long for.

In that "old America" of our founders, people traveled and traded openly and unrestricted all over this hemisphere.

Is that the "old America" that you long for? Or do you advocate an America with closed borders, and the US Armed Forces watching them?

Is that an "old America"?
