“We are one planet,” Friedman said.

NO, WE ARE NOT. This is the kind of BS they’ve been peddling in the EUSSR for a decade. “Well, we live in the age of mass communication, so we might as well get rid of the nations and all just be citizens of the planet.”

This is what Stalin and his ilk wanted. The nation state is part of who we are. This crackpot should be deported.

This is why Nicholas Kristoff of the NY Times pushed so hard to sell "citizen of the world" BO to the masses in 2007.

Libs are lazy. It's easier to love the guy in Italy who "friended" you on Facebook than your neighbor right next door.

It's harder, but ultimately more worthwhile, to be a citizen of a representative republic.

Kudos to you, Mr. Johnson (if you are reading this) for your article.
