I'm not sure what the answers are, but I think breaking up the country would only accelerate globalism, which seems to be something all around us, like part of the air we breathe. Believe in liberty and rights and justice, and you have people telling you that they can only be achieved in a global or transnational framework. Ultimately it's a recipe for an administrative government far removed from the control of any local public, but it will be hard to resist such developments.
The US government is seen as a stalking horse for globalism and the New World Order and they view radical steps as necessary. |
Mr. PAUL (for himself, Mr. STUMP, and Mr. POMBO) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on International Relations
`American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2001'... which had underwhelming support.
But don't let them get away with this, x. An assertion is not a proof. Ask them to explain to you why they think justice and liberty and rights "can only be achieved in a global or transnational framework." When they can't answer that, you might suggest that a reasonable person might think that to consolidate all power in a global hegemon is to reduce the power of individuals everywhere, including their own power. Ask them how arbitrary, "one-size-fits-all rules" delivered "top-down" and enforced by an unaccountable autocrat increases their rights or their liberty. You might also remind them that politics is about power, not about truth -- and maybe they need to "put that in their pipe, and smoke it." :^)
