THE CONSPIRACY TO UNIONIZE NORTH AMERICA?
Matt, OK, so you say the particulars of the SPP are not secret. So why has Judicial Watch filed a law suit under FOA asking for the minutes of meetings pertaining to the SPP? Ummm?
And yes, David Stall ran for office. Does that make him less qualified to speak on the TTC because he lost an election? If so, there are a lot of people who are not qualified to speak on the things they discuss. If we use your analogy, Al Gore needs to shut up today.
But you didn't bring that up for any other reason than to slam a person who has honest concerns about the TTC.You also say the government should know more about terrorists than you do. Well, need I mention the over 70 tickets given to the Fort Dix Six?
I believe that our nation has the right to a certain amount of secrecy when it comes to national security. The TTC doesn't fall under that catagory.
So you have no problem with a Spanish company building a super highway across the state of Texas where they will set the tolls and gain ALL profit from the highway until it is paid off? The Spanish company will invest $8 Billion and will reap at least $104 billion.
Do some more study beside taking talking points from those who will not be affected by the TTC.

Matt, I said in my initial post that I am not a "grassy knoll" person. I don't know how much clearer I can make that. But to say there is no NAFTA highway is hiding your head in the sand. What do you think the TransTexas Corridor is with football field wide highways, lanes for light rail, pipe lines, utilities and specialist truck lanes? To say that it is not to facilitate NAFTA is ignoring the construction that is going on in Texas as we type our responses.
Lying to me for my money? The only money I am going to lose is the money I have tied up in my ranch land that will be taken by the highway because a state that will determine it's value, not a real estate appraiser. Or the tolls I will have to pay in order to drive down State Highway 71 from my small town to get into Austin (yes, it is one of the planned toll roads). Hwy. 71 is a four lane state highway that runs from I-10 on the west side of Houston to Austin.
So as I watch the bull dozers and the earth moving equipment, I will take your advise and tell myself "there is no NAFTA highway, there is no NAFTA highway, there is no NAFTA highway".

Frank Martin, thanks for such a nice post. And what can we attest your total lack of gentility to? Breeding? Or have you taken up the hobby of insulting people who whom your disagree?
I have been to Canada (was not impressed) thank you and even to Mexico (was less impressed).
If you are representative of either California or Canada, perhaps we should give California to Canada and be done with it.

Frank Martin, perhaps you should study some more. The interstate freeway system was not built so that Cananda and Mexico would have an easier way to ship their goods through the U.S. The system was built to facilitate MILITARY DEFENSE.
Specifically, the movement of military equipment.And if your insulting tone is part of your Canadian heritage, it is no wonder we are becoming poles apart in attitude.

"better thing to do with their time than masterbate"? Naw, think I will leave that to you. Because your attitude will centainly create social problems for you.
No, Rick, that is not what I am saying. What I am saying is that there seems to be factors in play to make us more like the EU. Open borders [duh?], security not on our borders but rather around the entire NA continent, trade without restrictions, the free movement of nationals without first seeking Visa for entry.
And you still continue to ignore the TTC which is a reality, not a "grassy knoll" theory. And did not answer the question: were the agreements made in Waco voted on? When the Texas legislature voted on six bills to put the TCC on a 2 year hiatus so that it could be studied, why did Rick Perry veto every bill against the demands of Texans?
You brush the SPP off like it is just a bunch of "grassy knoll" whackos against it. You ignore the situation on the ground and that is the fact that the Texas landscape is being slashed as if someone was using Zorro's sword.
Do we have open borders? Has the administration done much to end that? Why are the NG being pulled from our southern borders when they were effective? Is the TTC a reality?

Rick, I am seriously suggesting that there are parts of the SPP that no one is aware of and the fact that the information has to be requested under the FOA and the administration continues to stone wall giving that information is cause for, at least, concern.
As to Frank's comments, yes, I understand that Canadians are just as nationalist as we are.
But it is not Frank's ranch that is being torn up by bulldozers to provide the TTC, now is it? Or are you denying that the TTC exists or that precious ranch land has already been taken to start building it?You say there is no threat but I consider it a grave threat when the TXDOT representative tells me that I will get at least [probably] $800.00 a acre for land that is worth $4,500. an acre.
And one other thing, Rick. Were the agreements made on the first SPP meeting that was held in Waco, Texas voted on?

Rick, I am not a "grassy knoll" kind of person but can only go by what I see.
If this SPP thing is so on the up and up, why is it that so much of it is being kept under lock and key? Why are groups having to file FOA requests to get the information? Why are Congressmen writing letters to the administration to prevent any agreements between the three nations being done in secret? Why don't you discuss the history of Robert Pastor, who was such a hot button that even Clinton pulled his support for Pastor's appointment as Ambassador to Panama?All those are questions you should be asking. But you are not.
As to shoving soccer down our throats, have you not read the news about Beckham? Or the fact that some businesses are now accepting the peso as currancy? How about that little thing that is about to tear my state into parts called the TransTexas Corridor that TXDOT refuses to discuss at public meetings and says that it has the right to take a person's ranch land to build that monstrosity just to facilitate NAFTA and the movement of goods that have landed in Mexico? Or how the revenue from the TTC will go to a Spanish consortium for 50 years before Texans reap one damn dime from it? Or maybe you would like to talk about how the SPP was actually designed on Pastor's theories?
You can joke about it all you want, but when TXDOT tells me that my land will be taken by the state for the TTC and it will be the state, not a realestate appraiser, not me, not a impartial, independent source who determines the value of my land when they take it, it becomes very, very serious to those of us who are about to lose everything we have worked all our lives for.

I meant "I wouldn't care if the whole place shut down"

Like most of the left wing who thinks that the war against Islamic radicals is nothing more than a bumper sticker slogan, Hollywood hasn't got a clue either. They cry because they are not making the money they used to yet continue to pump out propagana pushing movies while they live a life style most Americans can't even imagine. Sorry, I don't want to pay over $10.00 to see some subliminal message about what a piece of crap my nation is and how some nefarious group is going to overthrow our republic.
And it is obvious that Hollywood hasn't gotten the message yet. Just taking a look at what movies have reaped the most for their investment should tell you everthing.

Frankly, I would care if the whole place shut down, sent Sean Penn to clean Hugo's bathrooms and let the rest of the Hollywood losers try to make it in the real world. Maybe they should all be given lessons about Charlie Chaplin.

CITIZEN SCIENTIST RE-IGNITES GLOBAL WARMING SKEPTICISM
Rick, maybe Pug could spend some time researching Maurice [pronounced Morris] Strong and his relationship with the High Priest of the Religion of Ghia, Al Gore. And while he is at it, Pug could research the designs Strong has on the U.S. economy and his desire, partnered up with George Soros, for the Chinese car, Chery, and how it will break the backs of the U.S. auto industry.

Just a suggestion for Pug.
