Not one of your points supports Bush being a globalists. Free-trade and open boarders are not examples of being a globalist, besides steel tariffs come to mind. The EU is the European problem and has nothing to do with US sovereignty. Homeland security has absolutely nothing to do with being a globalist. So what if the UN falls into line, it is the US doing the leading, not vice versa.

"Free Trade" is a globalist issue, because it is stifling American innovation. It's a form of favortism of foreign goods to American goods, for heavy tariffs are placed on US made goods flowing into China, yet low tariffs are placed on Chinese goods flowing into America. Any type of trade that purposefully stifles American industry and forces them overseas is a global form of wealth redistribution. The WTO has played a significant role in America's "Free Trade".

In regard to the EU, Bush stated that he supports the EU, that he essentially supports the dissolution of national character, for it is pushing trade and markets. With all the red tape attached to EU membership, that is not likely.

Homeland Security doesn't have anything necessarily to do with globalism, but it will likely be the engine that will push the Patriot Act. Thus, a blatant disregard of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights.
