Liberty Maven

This is an interesting article from a main stream source. What I find interesting is that in the introduction of the article, after quoting Ron Paul’s position on the North American Union and the NAFTA Superhighway, the author simply claims it is not true. Then in the meat of the article all you see are facts backing up Ron Paul’s point other than one quote of opinion by a “conservative”.

I’m not one to believe in conspiracies and I even cringe a little bit when Ron Paul answers questions about the NAU, the trans-texas corridor, and American sovereignty. However, this article fails miserably at giving me reason to cringe. In fact, it accomplishes the opposite.

Ron Paul wants you to be scared. There’s a conspiracy in the land—what he calls a “conspiracy of ideas”—to give up America’s sovereignty. It’s a shadowy scheme that begins with the NAFTAMexico, the United States and Canada. “They don’t talk about it and they might not admit it,” Paul said at the CNN-YouTube presidential debate last week. He didn’t say exactly who “they” are, but perhaps one can guess. “They’re planning on [taking] millions of acres … by eminent domain,” warned the prickly libertarian. But elected government officials aren’t acting alone. There’s “an unholy alliance of foreign consortiums and officials from several governments” pushing the idea, Paul wrote in October 2006. “The ultimate goal is not simply a superhighway, but an integrated North American Union—complete with a currency, a cross-national bureaucracy, and virtually borderless travel within the Union.”
