This is the rob blatt blog.

When I read news articles and read statements like this:

“At the Battle of the Alamo people came from all over the US to fight for our sovereignty. Now we are giving it away to the very people we fought.”

This was made in a town hall meeting in Texas about a proposed super highway that would go from Mexico to Canada and would be a quarter mile wide.

Almost two hundred years later, there are people who still hold a grudge about the Alamo? Why not hold a grudge against the British if you’re gona go that far back? How about the native americans? The alamo happened so long ago that the Mexican government has been reformed since then.

Republican Ron Paul, a Texas congressman, says it is part of a drive for “an integrated North American Union” - complete with a currency, a cross-national bureaucracy and borderless travel. “It would represent another step toward the abolition of national sovereignty,” he said.

I’ll be honest, I was reading that statement and North American Currency, cross-national bureaucracy and borderless travel sounds pretty good.
