Do We Still Believe in American Sovereignty?

Tuesday, December 21, 2010

The current language surrounding American foreign policy (and the New START Treaty in particular) is diplomatic and courteous. It is also dangerously ambiguous about American sovereignty. As Steven Groves explains in the latest installment of the Understanding America series, “Sovereignty is a simple idea: the United States is an independent nation, governed by the American people, that controls its own affairs.” In “Why Does Sovereignty Matter to America”, Groves outlines the fundamental role of sovereignty in American history, and analyzes the current misunderstanding (some would say rejection) of this important concept.

  God Bless America, Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, excluding some of our weak spinned politicians who support open borders and one world government.
  
  I for one did not serve in the U.S.A.F. to give our country away to the United Nations.

I agree, he thinks eing nice will promote “niceness” from other unfriendly countries. He needs to be more concerned with N Korea, Iran and quite possibly Chavez than Russia.

The issue of Sovereignty has been around a long time, but pushed into demise by traitors such as G.W. Bush, his Dad, and Obama. We haven’t had a real leader since Ronald Reagan. The effort to combine the United States, Canada, and Mexico is still alive, and we have many agreements with these nations, signed by G.W., that permits their military forces to be on American soil. We should not concentrate our anger just on Obama, for he shares this distinction with several others. Again, we are back to the issue of stupid uneducated voters, people who are too lazy to find facts, and the emotional crowd who just wish to to do the “right” thing. I say to hell with them all, and push hard to drive these traitors out of the two major parties, and elect true Constitutionalists.

  I agree with you, Gerald, totally! Bush, Obama and others are with the Soros, New World Order plan and it is being accomplished very easily. This is because we have many people who don’t care about politics and are too busy playing reindeer games. The sovereignty of America will be taken away right from under their noses and we will be controlled by other soldiers, not Americans. Unfortunately, Obama now has control of the Internet. We need to rally the Repubs and the Tea Partys if we want to save America.

  I have an investigative report tjat I have had for years and it it shows 2 maps. One map is the road through TX to get Mexico and Canada linked without the Mexican trucks getting stopped. The other is the map of the drug route. The roads take the same path. Go figure! TX won’t look the same after they start taking the ranch land to build these roads. I understand BHO is quietly erasing the border between Mexico and Canada. Will it be goodbye TX or Don’t mess with TX?

This country was the greatest one in the world and we can get it back if we get rid of all the Nazis trying to ruin it. They ruined their own country and now want to ruin ours because we were better than them. I heard on the radio how most of the Democratic party is made up of Nazis which is how they got into public office. They had to join a party to do it.

Hello America,MERRY CHRISTMAS to all even the aclu(ANTI CHRIST LOSERS UNION)and obama the kenyan and the rest of the liberals who hate CHRISTIANS.CHRISTMAS is a time for peace and love for all. I would to see a new white house so we could all have peace.
guyb

Now they want to stop America from defending ourselves and our elected officals have sold us out over this arms treaty. Lets fumigate the commie white house and get some Americans for America in there.

One has to be an AMERICAN to understand just what SOVEREIGNTY truly stand for. And if your not an AMERICAN well… LEAVE. You came here expecting a free ride. GET OUT. There have been soldiers DIE for this COUNTRY & THE RIGHT. But to those OFFICIALS in DC that don’t believe in AMERICA, I have advise for YOU… LEAVE NOW. The same goes for the ACLU… LEAVE, I think maybe you can get a job somewhere in KENYA or RUSSIA..JUST LEAVE. Yes WE need to fumigate both the White House, the Senate, The Congress, The FCC, The Supreme Court, The Department of Justice, Homeland Security, The TDAC, The FBI. I could name a few others but it would crash this site but if you hear the NEWS agencies, etc. You get my meaning. Stand Up America & MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA. Merry Christmas ONE AND ALL & HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR. By the FCC has a message for us. NET NEUTRALITY???

I wonder by “We” exactly who you are refering to? I can bet you a cheap lunch at a drive up that eighty percent or more of this country will want our sovereignty protected but Barry and the mob are betting we don’t need that.

Today Big Sis Napolincompetento, said, “We are working to protect the security of this nation 364 days a year.” So I guess I will have call or E mail her to find out exactly what day is it she and her brood do not plan to protect the country, so I can mark my calendar and make other plans…these people in this adminstration are inept morons and greedy too.

If WE, as AMERICANS, don’t DEMAND those elected by US start doing the job they were
elected to do, which is doing what’s best
for the American people and the USA, we are
not going to have a sovereign nation. We
will be no better off than a third world country controlled by power hungry idiots
who will control our every thought, speech, action, religion, etc. And the START treaty
is a disaster. Russia CANNOT be trusted!!!
Just look at the spies they had in our country before they were discovered. And just think of the damage they did that WE
are not being told about.

Justice Souter, while stumping his brand new book on ‘Good Morning America’ announced that he planned to have a series of First Amendment cases which would ultimately restrict the right of US Citizens to express themselves, premised on what people in Third World Nations might find offensive. This was in response to President Obama’s outrage over potential blasphemy against the ‘Holy’ Koran by burning it, in political expression. I have never heard President Obama use the words, ‘Holy’ and ‘Bible’ together in the same sentence, and I imagine he would vomit if it came to that.

Please read some history and wise up. American fought the Revolutionary War so we would be out from under the globalist cabal. Some outrage would be appropriate.

Have any of you contacted YOUR senators and demand they Vote NO on START? If not, WHY? Here are some fence sitters, are they your senators: John McCain-AZ, Scott Brown-MA, Collins and Snowe-Maine, Nelson-Nebraska. Contact them now, tomorrow and every day, several times a day; email, call and fax them!
DRUM

I asked my senator to vote no on Start. I asked what Congreesman in their right mind could believe a treaty that gives Russia control 0f 50% of our uranium could be a good idea? Wha tis the matter with these people?
Chris

My feeling is that if people live in the US and don’t like it here, they should leave! If people are here illegal, they should be escorted out! If they are here to get something for free, send them back where they came from! If they are here to convert us to Islam or recruit muslims and then threaten US, need to be sent out of the country, and never to return!! Anyone who is anti-American needs to live somewhere else, that includes our prez!! Christian American citizens need to stand together to keep our country safe, and make our Voices heard!! Make your commitment too. Http://www.PatrioticChristiansToday.com

We, the people; especially those of us who have fought the wars, been viified and had the benefits we worked for all our lives and expected to have available to us and NOT illegal foreign criminals and cartel cretins
DO. Those elitisit scumbag parasites in our government who NEVER produce anything for us but bloodshed. heartache, inordinate taxation , reduced civil ,liberties, death panelos and oppression in general , DO NOT!
The 2nd Revolution is not far off and the sins of government, while of late predominantly on Obama and his crew of statists , communists progressives and corrupt weasels, the other established party sucks JUST as badly. Our only hope is the Tea Party and, even it may be too little too late. The START treaty is bad legislation and reduces our ability to protect ourselves. It needs to be defeated and the Russians and Chinese told to go to hell. They do NOT run the US and, THEY NEVER WILL.

If you are afraid of what is happening NOW in Washington,D. C., just wait a while. We are subjected to a two language society, and are being overrun by illegal immigrants.
We are being bombarded by a pletora of acrynoms, two measuring standards, and confusing reports of trivia. We are witnessing the tip of the iceberg! If allowed to continue, in the period of one generation, the United States of America, will cease to exist! We have career politicians and gangsters making decisions and coining laws, against our liberties. And we stand idle, accepting their fare! Our government is pitting one citizen against the other, and while we debate each other, they do their dirty work. Just think, government produces nothing, but is controlling almost everything! Almost, for now, but with this Darwinian attitude, Who knows? Is it time for a revolution?

I seen a been a lone time thing yesterday!! Two Americans stopping traffic for road work!!I was amazed!! Not that all of the illagials were working on the road work in Texas, but somehow they just couldn’t speak english, just like all of the construction people as well. They have one illiagal that can speak broken english to tell the illiagals what to do next!! And since when do we trust the Russian’s?? And they came out and said that they would not redo the start treaty. So were supposed to just pass this lame bill that is for the russian’s only. And we have to give up the missle sites so we can’t do any harm to them Or Iran.And Obama’s one world power is a joke like he is!!
Mr T

The worthless washington wimps are now going to take over the internet. You better call your reps before the socialist pigs close down decent.

After bowing to the king of Saudi and going on a round the world apology tour, why would any American congressman trust a treaty that he had anything to do with?

The American people believe in the sovereignty of the United States. The Canadian people believe in the sovereignty of Canada. But the ruling class, the “royal class” do not. It’s that simple.
