THe so called 'North American Union' is not being seriously advocated, and connecting highways in the US, Mexico, and Canada, especially merely have faster transport of trade goods, hardly means that the federal government is going to be disolved.

Merely faster transport of trade goods? Yea... to further fund the N.A.U.
Hardly a means of dissolving the federal government? Ask each of the members of the European Union to compare their current rights as apposed to what it was before the E.U. was formed.
Dissolving the federal government? Do you honestly believe the United States Constitution will remain when the N.A.U. takes place?

This isn't a HUGE issue, but it definately is an issue.

Because there are paranoid, irrational people in congress. People don't need a good reason to put up something to a vote in congress.

Again, this is a highway.

There isn't going to BE an "NAU".

Its not a huge issue, its an imaginary issue. There is no "NAU". People talk about security cooperation, and they scream "its the NAU". Twenty years ago it was "the UN superstate", 50 years ago it was "the NWO", and a few hundred years ago it was 'the illuminati', etc etc. Still, nothing happens. I wonder what the new formulation after the "NAU" will be? Looks like people are already worried about a 'global caliphate', maybe that will be it.
There is no way the GOP will allow a unionization with Canada OR Mexico - Canada, too liberal and will unbalance the liberal and conservative ratio in the U.S.; Mexico, flood of poor immigrants.
I'm sure most Americans wouldn't want a union either. This isn't a HUGE issue, but it definately is an issue.
Text"President Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada. This was the hidden agenda behind the Bush administration's true open borders policy. Secretly, the Bush administration is pursuing a policy to expand NAFTA politically, setting the stage for a North American Union designed to encompass the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. What the Bush administration truly wants is the free, unimpeded movement of people across open borders with Mexico and Canada. President Bush intends to abrogate U.S. sovereignty to the North American Union, a new economic and political entity which the President is quietly forming, much as the European Union has formed."
Text"Canada will abandon the loonie (Canadian dollar) and become the US Federal Reserve's 13th district 'within five years' unless the government changes its policies to prop up the eroding Canadian currency, Jeffrey Rubin, chief economist for the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, is quoted as saying in a report in The Financial Times. While other Canadian economists have begun forecasting a shift to the US dollar in 10 to 20 years or more, Rubin's is considered the most slender time frame in Canada opting for the US currency. As the Canadian dollar is slowly becoming obsolete, government officials on both sides consider the border between the two countries also 'obsolete'. If at all, it will remain in symbolic terms'."

OK... so you are telling me that SPP + S. 3622 = paranoid irrationalism?
They might be in Congress, but there's plenty more where that came from. You are in denial, Nygdan.
Beautiful debunking technique.
The highway is going to be the main artery of connecting the three nations. It's more than just another highway.
Again, ask each of the members of the European Union to compare their current rights as apposed to what it was before the E.U. was formed.
You're right, as long as someone (ya know, those paranoid irrationalists you say exist) does something about it.
And all these entities that people "screamed" about came true, did they not?

Nygdan, again... Seriously, are you a government propagandist or something like that?
HAHAHA. Yeah right. Bush signed it. Bush is in the GOP if I remember?

so you see the wheels are turning for this UNION to take place.

If you think that those bills equate to a 'North American Union", then yes. Its cooperation between nations, not dissolution of sovereign governments, not even unionization ala the EU.
When the leaders of Canada, Mexico, and the United States met in Texas recently they underscored the deep ties and shared principles of the three countries. The Council-sponsored Task Force applauds the announced “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America,” but proposes a more ambitious vision of a new community by 2010 and specific recommendations on how to achieve it.
Building a North American Community - Pay attention to the web page "title", Nygdan.

Its entirely approrpriate in response to your 'bunk' technique. You have done nothign other than to say 'they want to build a highway' and 'they want to cooperate' and then claim it is proof of a plot against the federal government. You keep making claims, but you're not backing them up.

Its a highway that will allow shipping companies to have a more efficient and centralized package inspection and security procedure, and switfly move goods to their markets. If anything, its an expansion of American values into mexico and canada, not a suppression of free america.

What? Not a single one of them did. The UN is NOT a superstate, its a weak, inept, sidelined, weak organization with no political teeth. There is no "NWO" ruling over us as a global dictatorship. The Illuminati Order fought for liberty and was destroyed by church and state autocrats, and last I checked, there last real caliphate was beaten and his empire over part of the middle east was torn apart.
