People have already been doing all that-there is no way that the President or the Congress are unaware of the will of the people, much less of the law of the land and the concept of national sovereignty—but they still persist in selling us out-they don’t even care if we know, once they’ve shaken hands with the devil and done the dirty deal-what do we do when they just don’t care? President Bush KNOWS that Americans don’t want to be part of some North American super-state with a unified currency and economy-yet he’s up in Canada laying the groundwork for just that-the will of the majority, and I mean a majority, bi-partisan at that-bears no weight with him-for whom is he doing this?
I think you’ve hit on something there, Mrsmel. How often have I written a representative only to receive a reply basically saying to heck with your concerns, this is what I believe.
So many Americans are caught up in their own lives replete with sit-coms, buying at the mall, and similar idleness....that it’s likely some in our government have become downright cocky in believing so few citizens care....that they can do whatever they want. Not to mention low voter turnout in many primaries.
Canadian leader Harper’s sarcastic comment that only a couple of hundred protestors showed up shows pompous conceit and total disregard for the thousands who were there to protest. What I’d like to know is what Pres. Bush said in response: Did he say it’s part of America’s Constitution for people to peacefully protest and there’s nothing “sad” about it? Did he say, “Au contraire my comrad....there are thousands here. Perhaps we should listen!”
I have applauded Pres. Bush for supporting pro-life causes so well, but this kind of thing really undermines his credibility. I can’t decide if he’s just naive or simply conniving when it comes to this issue. And if he is on the up and up, then he’d best begin adhering to the constitutional principle that American leaders are servants of the American people....not servants of global elites.
I want badly to respect this president, but his actions are causing many former supporters to seriously wonder what the heck is going on. I applaud the 21 congressmen who have shown courage in protesting the secretiveness or this and also the omission of congress in the process. I think we ought to write them and thank them for their service to America!
I think you are 100% correct. We have long since passed the tipping point where GWBush knows our anger over immigration.
Even the fence bill signing was done as a last minute pre-election concession. His original plan was to just sign the damn thing.
