Some time would love to discuss the globalist issue with you or read a thread on it.

Most issues could easily be discussed if without the trashing of the president, threats of sticking it to the GOP nonsense that gets the defensive mode up on many of us.

We just need to remember - issues - not attacks and threats.

I would love that also. Get down to the nuts and bolts of just what Trade Zone means, and it's impact on the individual, American citizens in particular, the economy, and the nation state.

I am in no way saying this about you, but when I see avid, unquestioning, slavish devotion for any leader or party it scares the livin daylights out of me. Had I lived in the time of George Washington, I would still have been watching him like a hawk, listening as much to what isn't said as what is, and weighing the truth of everything and the direction we are being led to.

A good place for you to start would be to go to the FTAA web site and study not only it, but the comments and suggestions of those promoting it. They seem to feel so good about themselves and their vision for our lives, that anyone who would dare to remind them that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, are seen as ignorant xenophobes whose human right to object and hang onto the old principles of nationhood, should be left to be dealt with by Judges with the power to issue harsh sentences.

On the face of it, it means that a woman weaving rugs and blankets in Peru, for example, should be able to take her goods to the USofA to market, unimpeded by borders and questions regarding her intentions to ever return to Peru.

The assumption being the economy and life in general will be so good in Peru because of Free Trade that naturally she will want to go home.

The reality of Free Trade is that there are going to be winners and losers and some may be sore losers. Sore losers who can file a suit or a complaint to an appointed board who decides such differences, and can be counted on to find against the USofA as they have done so far in every lawsuit against us. From Canada's suit regarding fuel oil additives, to Mexico suit over Mexican trucking into the USofA, to the coming suit Mexico threatens to file over our posting National Guard at the border.

It's proven so far to be an entangling mess that the U.S. avoids, stalls, and appeals. But the time is coming when these tactics will no longer be effective and we will be laid bare to the full brunt of these international treaties we have signed onto. Globalists would call me an unenlightened spoil sport, ignorant to the core as to the coming benefits. I say if these coming benefits are so great that I may faint with joy, they shouldn't be so hesitant to fill all of us in on the details. Like why I should be delighted to know that American wages are going to drop to meet Mexico's rising wages, does that mean the cost of goods will be going down? Will the middle class be in the money and living the good life? Will there be a middle class?

What will international law allow me to have as human rights since it trumps the Constitution and Bill of Rights? What effect will it have on my business?
