Not too late to keep America...American (Liberalism, Mexican, drivers)

[chloedog]

The same bad idea that is ruining Europe threatens to ruin the United States, too. Indeed, the news that Uncle Sam can't find more than 600,000 of what the government calls "fugitive aliens," those who have been ordered out of the country but slipped past the enforcement system, reminds us, yet again, that border enforcement and maintenance of sovereignty are low priorities for Washington.

The bad idea threatening both America and Europe is this: Borders don't matter. Why not? Because patriotism is deemed some sort of infantile disease to be grown out of. Therefore, a conglomerated government is the only way to assure docility and passivity for the masses - oops, make that peace and prosperity.

This multinational view has been held by elites for a long time. Karl Marx, still a hero to many policy-minded intellectuals, was an early prophet of a borderless world. But don't take my word for it: Here's Thomas Friedman of The New York Times, praising Marx in his 2005 bestseller, "The World is Flat":

"Reading 'The Communist Manifesto' today, I am in awe at how incisively Marx detailed the forces that were flattening the world during the rise of the Industrial Revolution, and how much he foreshadowed the way these same forces would keep flattening the world right up to the present." Isn't that neat? Friedman surely thinks so; he reprints more than a page of Marx's purple prose.

Socialists are the problem? No. The problem isn't socialism or capitalism. It's not conservatism or liberalism. The problem is the desire of those in power to retain their power, at all costs.

America hasn't been American in nearly 100 years.

Yes, and at the same time gov. hesititates to build a fence to keep out even the terrorists, they are signing bills for new land-port where Mexican drivers will travel on freeways to the port, all apart of the new North American Union.
So, it is Big business who runs the country, but when the terrorists strike then America will see real change in border security.

And people will be begging for id cards, cameras on every corner, basically we will order and insist total control of our existence, just wait and see, communism is soon to follow...this time, it will not rid of so easily, it will grow into a new world, one that is already here, things are just heating up here, too late.

Communism? No, I don't think so. It's a corporate oligarchy. It will just be more of the same, but with less freedom.
