    Hey db, in your earlier post in reference to Rand Paul, you said, "The superhighway thing i had to actually look up. My first impression was well if its true it would change my thoughts about the guy."

    I believe that was in reference to Eugene Robinson's noting Rand Paul's belief that the US, Canada and Mexico are in a conspiracy to create a "borderless mass continent." You challenged that Robinson's op-ed was not based on research, but rather a bit of a hit piece.

    A quick search turned up the following article and clip:

    In the Montana appearance, Rand Paul echoed his father's views, referring to the "Amero" (the Euro-style currency of the future North American Union), and saying "I guarantee you it's one of their long term goals to have one sort of borderless, mass continent."

    Watch the clip. It's informative.

    • I don't mean to pile on. I'm just asking you to consider that Robinson's piece was more informed than you might think.luckyorphan

    • he doesnt strike me as a kook talking about it. Seems there is substantial info about it. Perhaps theorizing a bit ahead
      ********
    • but he put his theory down that something like that is 20-30yrs ahead. And it wouldnt be the first time its been done.
      ********
    • It doesnt have to much effect on my outlook of the guy. Seems academical enough for discussion. Much like hawking talking about aliens.
      ********
