We just celebrated Thanksgiving- a uniquely American holiday. It’s a special time when we Americans acknowledge our thankfulness to God. We give thanks for our personal blessings, but we also give thanks for our national blessings too.
Lincoln made this day a national holiday for the purpose of establishing a more firm sense of unity among all Americans going through the chaos of civil war. In his proclamation of 1863 it was called a “national and fixed Union festival…an American custom and institution” to rally the citizens.
This is just one example of America’s cultural distinction, but it points to an important foundation from which so many other American institutions spring. It all adds up to our common heritage as a people and a nation. The sovereign unity of our people is always a delicate balance to maintain, but now- more than ever- there seems to be threats to that social equilibrium.
Besides the Liberals, who detest America in its current form and want to change it radically, there are also “Big Government Conservatives” who are equally radical in their desire to embrace change. Their cause is: the North American Union.
Beginning with NAFTA in 1993 and continuing in 2005, both the Clinton and Bush administrations have worked to bring about a disastrous assault upon our national sovereignty. What they want is a type of “European Union” for North America.
The proposal, if successful, will unite Mexico, the U.S. and Canada into one integrated, governmental system! Quoting from the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) 2005 report: “Creating a North American Community”-
“We propose the creation by 2010 of a community to enhance security, prosperity and opportunity for all North Americans. The boundaries of the community would be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter. Within this area, the movement of people and products would be legal, orderly and safe.”
On March 23, 2005, a joint statement was issued:
“We the elected leaders of Canada, Mexico and the U.S. (Martin, Fox and Bush) announce the establishment of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America. It will help consolidate our action into a North American framework to confront security and economic challenges.”
Another CFR report from May of 2005, “The Building of a North American Community,” states:
“The three governments (Canada, Mexico and the U.S.) should commit themselves to the long-term goal of dramatically diminishing the need for the current intensity of the governments’ physical control of cross-border traffic, travels and trade within North America.”
This helps explain why there has been so much frustration and inaction when it comes to the issue of illegal immigration. Many of our political leaders- on both sides of the aisle- have simply bought-in to this North American Union nonsense and want “open borders” between our nations.
What they fail to realize is how the pursuit of this initiative means the erosion of our cherished, national sovereignty. A country without borders is no longer a country!
America- for those who know its history- is more than just some nondescript, trading bloc comparable to China, Europe or Latin America! Our existence as a nation thrives on the continuance of our own cultural distinctions, and to add to that mix, indiscriminately, without discerning the consequences, is the same thing as cooking a stew using a pantry full of poison!
