A Talk to Remember

In 1796, George Washington delivered his Farewell Address, made famous for urging future generations not to form long-term alliances with other nations in the name of neutrality. Many generations would take his words to heart. Yet today, it seems as though we have forgotten about Washington in DC. By far, the most disturbing trend in America is the constant infactuation with the rest of the world. "If we're not doing what the rest of the world is doing, we're living on an island" is the creed of globalism. In contrast, we need to reflect on why we are the envy of the world in the first place.

Many excerpts from Washington's speech could summarize how he would preside over the world power elite.

"Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy, to be useful, must be impartial, else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people to surrender their interests."

Presidente Bush might want to read that over sometime.

In reference to Soren Kierkegaard, life must be lived forward, but understood backwards, rather than the other way around. The truth is that we no longer share a common past in this country. Or a vision for the future. At least that's the case between the right and the left. To many Americans, the founding documents are no longer relevant. Justice Stephen Breyer made this clear on national television:

"Through commerce, through globalization, through the spread of democratic institutions, through immigration to America, it's becoming more and more one world of many different kinds of people. And how they're going to live together across the world will be the challenge, and whether our Constitution and how it fits into the governing documents of other nations, I think will be a challenge for the next generations."

I have never voted third-party. Yet, third-parties have played significant roles in American history. After all, it was a third-party that abolished slavery. Which brings me to Montana's 2006 Libertarian Senatorial Candidate, Stan Jones. He is socially one of the most conservative members of the Libertarian Party - pro-life, among other things. Not a perfect man, as Michael Medved points out, but his closing statement for the Montana Senate Debate of 2006 should be considered a fair warning for any American who values national sovereignty over the one-world takeover under the emerging North American Union. It had to be the most underrated moment of the 2006 elections altogether. Under this reality, It is my desire to quote the entire closing statement.

"I wish to thank the sponsors for inviting me. I don't often get invited. This was an important debate. I had planned another closing message, but I feel compelled to say what I’m about to say. Now, I risk sounding like a conspiracy theorist, but it’s no longer a theory! What I’m about to say is fact.

"The secret organizations of the world power elite are no longer secret. They have planned and are now leading us into a One World communist government. The combining of national governments started with the European Union. That union started with trade agreements, then, a common currency, the Euro, and now a European parliament that is feverishly passing laws that override the laws of the member nations. A constitution was drafted, but rejected by a few of those nations, but nevermind. They implemented it anyway.

"Now, it’s North America’s turn. Building on the North American Free Trade Agreement, the NAFTA section of The Commerce Department is busy drafting laws and regulations for a North American Union - a union of Canada, America, and Mexico. The president has attended secret meetings and signed at least two agreements under The Security and Prosperity Partnership Program. Information leaked out about the meetings; and now, it is all out in the open. No treaty has been signed, so Congress has not become involved. However, money from our treasury is now being spent for this effort. We will have a new currency, the Amero, and a new constitution modeled on the Soviet Union’s constitution. Our rights will not be inalienable, but they will be granted by government; who can also take them away.

"One sign that this is our future is the plans for the superhighways from southern Mexico, through America and into Canada. These plans are not secret any longer. Huge amounts of property will be taken in the name of free trade, peace and security. You will have a national I.D. card with a radio frequency chip in it. That’s already law in America and will be implemented by May, 2008. This man voted for it. You will not be able to move about freely. This is terrorism of the most, worst kind; brought on you by our own government.

"The strongest, freest nation in the history of mankind will be averaged into world communism. Is that what you want?! Are we the people still in control of this nation? We must begin to act like we are!"
