it's in the best interest of big business and we will foot the bill for them (http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=14965)  I feel poorly for our offspring.  it is supported by both parties and we have allowed our political system to fail us.

(it's early and I'm pissed about last night, not sure if you're being sarcastic or not...)

Tell that to the people in Texas that are losing their land due to imminent domain for the Trans-Texas Corridor.

Tell that to NASCO (http://www.nascocorridor.com/pages/about/about.htm) and the SPP (http://www.spp.gov/)

Ask Gov. Perry or Lou Dobbs (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8843323223087117026&q=NAU+lou&total=212&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=1)  if it's real or if it's a figment...

I'm not upset about the highway, I'm upset about the "fairness" of the debate last night.  

As to the highway, along with NAFTA, the NAU, the SPP, etc, I don't believe they're in Americas best interest.  Mexico loves 'em, though!

I would say Ron Paul is not one of your typical Main stream NEO Con professionals.
But certainly Dr. Paul is no idiot. Big Government means big problems.
This has been going on since 1913 and it will not stop until our sovergine nation is gone and we are totally assimilated into the one world government. Ponder that as you sit in your Gulag bro, when all of your freedoms and civil liberties are gone.
Of course that is an extreme representation of the potential future. But just the same how can you call someone an Idiot who wants to save our nation from globalization.

If he's deluded, it's in the sense that he's actually trying to change things in the interests of personal freedom and financial security. I can understand why some might call that a crazy idea in this day and age when a successful politician is bought and paid for.

Title: Ron Paul on North American Union
Post by: lazs2 on November 30, 2007, 08:54:14 AM
The conclusion I have come to is that no one has shown that there is any plans for anything but a road.   I have not heard one head of state say it is true.

I have not seen any reliable source that was in one of these meetings with heads of state.

I do not trust the links or vids.    

This may be happening but at this point.. it is nothing but a paranoid rumor.

If it does happen... I bet we get plenty of real warning.

Those who seek to understand what's behind the chatter about Bush's Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) as a possible prelude to a North American Union (NAU), similar to the European Union (EU), should read the 35-page White Paper (http://www.hudson.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=hudson_upcoming_events&id=423)  published recently by the prestigious Hudson Institute called "Negotiating North America: The Security and Prosperity Partnership." This Washington, DC think tank is blunt and detailed in describing where SPP is heading.

Here's how Hudson defines SPP's goal: "The SPP process is the vehicle for the discussion of future arrangements for economic integration to create a single market for goods and services in North America." The key words are "economic integration" (a phrase used again and again) into a North American "single market" (another phrase used repeatedly).

"Integration" with Mexico and Canada is exactly what North American Union means, but there's a big problem with this goal. "We the people" of the United States were never asked if we want to be "integrated" with Mexico and Canada, two countries of enormously different laws, culture, concept of government's role, economic system, and standard of living."

Here's how Hudson describes SPP's process: "The most important feature of the SPP design is that it is neither intended to produce a treaty nor an executive agreement like the NAFTA that would require congressional ratification or the passage of implementing legislation in the United States. The SPP was designed to function within existing administrative authority of the executive branch."

Hudson explains further: "The design of the SPP is innovative, eschewing the more traditional diplomatic and trade negotiation models in favor of talks among civil service professionals and subject matter experts with each government. This design places the negotiation fully within the authority of the executive branch in the United States."

The Hudson White Paper admits the problem that SPP completely lacks "transparency and accountability." Hudson freely admits "the exclusion of Congress from the process"; constituents who contact their Congressmen discover that Members know practically nothing about SPP. Hudson states that, under SPP, one of the U.S. challenges is "managing Congress." Is Congress now to be "managed," either by executive-branch "authority" or by "dozens of regulators, rule makers, and officials working with their counterparts" from Mexico and Canada?

The Hudson White Paper reminds us that the 2005 Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) document called "Buiding a North American Community (http://www.cfr.org/publication.html?id=8102) " bragged that its recommendations are "explicitly linked" to SPP. The CFR document called for establishing a "common perimeter" around North America by 2010.
 
[...]

"Among the people who take SPP seriously are Rep. Virgil Goode (R-VA) who introduced H.Con.Res. 40 opposing a North American Union and a NAFTA Superhighway, similar resolutions introduced into the state legislatures of 14 states, and Rep. Duncan Hunter's (R-CA) amendment to prohibit the use of federal funds for SPP working groups, which passed the House by the remarkable bipartisan vote of 362 to 63 on July 24, 2007."

and apparently there's plenty in Congress who believe this is more than just conspiracy talk... (and aren't bought and paid for...)

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:h.con.res.00040:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=hc110-40

"H.CON.RES.40
Title: Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada.
Sponsor: Rep Goode, Virgil H., Jr. [VA-5] (introduced 1/22/2007) Cosponsors (43)
Latest Major Action: 1/23/2007 Referred to House subcommittee. Status: Referred to the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit."

As of today, there are 43 cosponsors:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:HC00040:@@@P

Among them are three presidential candidates:
Rep. Duncan Hunter [R-CA]
Rep. Ronald Paul [R-TX]
Rep. Thomas Tancredo [R-CO]

Is the Congress wrongly believing in the possibility of "the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System" or the possibility of "a North American Union with Mexico and Canada"?

So, keep your head buried in the sand if that helps you sleep at night...  Just know in ten years or so that you could've spoken up when it still mattered.

I would doubt there is anything formal. However, a lot of small, informal things are happening so maybe 10 years down the road it just exists. It started with NAFTA and then CAFTA and frankly it's not a stretch of the imagination to see the bipartisan appeal, among the same crowd that finds illegal alien amnesty to be a swell concept (insourcing cheap labor) and doing business with PRC (regardless of their stance on labor issues, human rights or the environment) to be peachy. Business is business -- nationalism and sovereignty impede business.

Ok.. let me come at this another way... this "union".

It is a highway built by the lowest bidder?   Can you show me where there is anything else besides some roads and trade agreements?

Is the mint tooling up for the new "union buck"?   are we now under the control of the canadian army?  is our constitution no longer in effect?

just what does it mean?   break it down for me.   what exactly is the "union" part?    No more borders?

Hell.. we never had passports before and now we do... seems that we are getting away from a "union" to me.

Hmmmmm..........

Well here is another view point on the NAU.............

http://www.jpfo.org/smith/smith-is-it-too-late.htm

it also talks about several other things and is of course the writers opinion.  

BUT some of the links provided by the author SEEM very interesting!

The point several people SEEM to be trying to make is...

someone is trying to create something here and they SEEM to be IGNORING the will of the people, the sovereignty of America, Canada, and Mexico, and the Constitution in the process.

Sort of a "we weren't supposed to do that?  OH WE'RE sorry, really we are, BUT it's a done deal sooooo..............."

Post by: bsdaddict on December 05, 2007, 09:31:53 PM
First of all, the only "help" free trade needs from the gov't is low tariffs, anything else results in regulatory burdens.  Secondly, if this was only about a desire to "help trade", then why the need to deny the plans for the highways?  Additionally, some of us see implications regarding moving towards globalization and further compromising our national sovereignty.  American trucking companies are worried about competing with the less regulated Mexican trucking companies.  Land owners are worried about their land being stolen from them via eminent domain.  Some are worried about providing more pores thru our borders for illegal aliens, drug dealers, and terrorists to abuse, rather than securing our borders like we should be.

If you believe that this is just about "helping trade", then I've got a bridge you might be interested in...
Title: Ron Paul on North American Union
Post by: lazs2 on December 06, 2007, 08:22:52 AM
so you are saying that US highways will have no border guard or checkpoint and that what?  that Americans won't be able to use the roads to get to mexico and canada?    

As for denial...  every city...every one that every one of you guys is in.. has a policy of this very same sinister secrecy for their public works projects and you are quite correct..it is about imminent domain... you don't say what exactly or where exactly the public works project is until a lot of the financial, engineering and environmental studies are done.

Soo... unless ron paul has some political proof of a real north american supercountry..  then he is coming off as a hysterical, irresponsible, woman, panic monger to me.

Name something like a change in the constitution or the money or... something... anything.. that would indicate some kind of super state that was all of north america.

I have no problem with a little paranoia when it comes to defending the Constitution, our rights and our national sovereignty. I want a president who will be on guard against infringments on any of those, not one who looks for ways to skirt them.  If you think that's silly, by all means, vote for someone other than Ron Paul.  I'm sure you'll be happy with how that turns out.
