IMO... it's a more "politically correct" version of the conquest if it happens... I can see it now... usa would want to be the one ruler... oh wait, that already happens, my bad.

The whole thing is a farce. There's no need to imagine some kind of scary new world order scenario, the economies are already largely integrated anyway.

Let's see the U.S. imports most of it's oil from Mexico, and Canada.....the same countries it wants to create the NAU with.....does anyone else see the signs?

what's the benefit?

particularly if you're American, where you're trying to get 300million peopel to speak in one political voice through the body of the President.
As it is, anyway, as far removed as you are from that.
And as much as you have a system where the region, then the state, then the county, then the city has its own layers of democracy. What is the big fear anyway?
That's what i dont get.

what i dont get is, just to like lay it on the line and get all "political"
all these people who oppose federalist "super-states". They go on about "losing" their sovereignty, and how it's "unrepresentative" to be part of these things...
i dont' see how they are oh so well represented in the imagined communities they live in as it is. So far removed from power, their votes so dissipated already as if one more layer's gonna mean shit. Most of these people don't even vote. It's like "oooh, you don't wanna be run from Brussels!!"
I wanna know, is it REALLY that much diffeerent to being run from London? Really? In these giant imagined communities of complex and dissipated communities you already live in?
The way i see it that its people from the Right of politics who have an emotional attachment to nationalism and nationalist symbols who have a problem with these things.

Im too pretentious and bigoted to share my currency with other countries. Woohoo, America! Build a Fence!
*note:sarcasm does not translate well in type.The EU, other than currency and free trade, is still just 23 countries voting independently, right? So what would change over here?
*I ask this not out of boorish arrogance but genuine curiosity and an unfamiliarity the the EU.

Maybe I'm showing some naivety here but I've always thought that Canada is in a "join us or else" problem with the States, particularly with some territories being so smurgey with Soviet footprint. I see no reason why Canada would WANT to do this, so I must assume they feel they have no choice.
That being the case. Call me, Canada, we will fight this menace side-by-side.

Well, i know JKristofer who owns, runs, and moderates this websites is dead against it.
Incidentally JKristofer is a conservative right-wing Republican.
