Tancredo fears a ‘North American Union’

November 24, 2006

The fact that Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) is not well isn’t groundbreaking news. Neither, for that matter, is the fact that Tancredo is aggressively opposed to the president’s immigration policy.

I didn’t know, however, just how far over the edge Tancredo was willing to go.

President Bush believes America should be more of an idea than an actual place, a Republican congressman told WND in an exclusive interview.

“People have to understand what we’re talking about here. The president of the United States is an internationalist,” said Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo. “He is going to do what he can to create a place where the idea of America is just that — it’s an idea. It’s not an actual place defined by borders. I mean this is where this guy is really going.”

Tancredo lashed out at the White House’s lack of action in securing U.S. borders, and said efforts to merge the U.S. with both Mexico and Canada is not a fantasy.

“I know this is dramatic — or maybe somebody would say overly dramatic — but I’m telling you, that everything I see leads me to believe that this whole idea of the North American Union, it’s not something that just is written about by right-wing fringe kooks. It is something in the head of the president of the United States, the president of Mexico, I think the prime minister of Canada buys into it.

Now, far be it for me to defend the president against an unhinged attack from a far-right lawmaker, but does anyone seriously believe that the Bush White House wants to dissolve U.S. borders altogether? Anyone, that is, except the wild-eyed congressman from Colorado?

You know it’s bad when Podhoretz is mocking a Republican lawmaker for being nuts.

I speculate in my book, Can She Be Stopped?, that Tancredo will run as a third-party candidate in 2008. Sounds like he’d be perfect to top Lyndon LaRouche’s ticket. If you are serious about the importance of immigration restriction, you’d best be looking for a leader who hasn’t chosen to place himself beyond the political fringe.

Oddly enough, I think Podhoretz is right about this. Tancredo is talking openly about running for president; Fox News’ Neil Cavuto recently said Tancredo “just might well be president”; and Tancredo seems entirely displeased with the Republican line on immigration.

It’s pretty easy to imagine him running in the GOP primaries, causing a stir, and then running as an independent, in the not-so-great tradition of the Know-Nothing Party of the mid-19th century.

Frankly, LaRouche isn’t getting any younger, and someone needs to step up to take his place. Tancredo seems just detached from reality enough to fit the bill.

“…does anyone seriously believe that the Bush White House wants to dissolve U.S. borders altogether?” – CB

Yep.

The author of the Swift Boat attacks against John Kerry, Jerome R. Corsi believes it. Of course he is the wingnut fringe. But the Reality behind his paranoia is the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), signed into being by Canada, Mexico and the United States in March 2005. The purpose of the SPP is to create multi-national beauracracies to pull many aspects of the three governments into a common union.

Steps similar, I might point out, to the creation of the German Empire in the 19th Century.

As for WHY Boy George II would conspire to create a North American Union, I would just point out that the executive of such an entity would not be restrained by amendments to the constitution to two terms of office 😉

But of course, then there would be nothing against Bill Clinton running against him. They are both the same age, after all.

Detention facilities in the Arizona desert? Pondering the idea of NOT holding elections during a “War”? Is someone getting ready to put down civil unrest over his plans to remain President forever?

Remember, Boy George II comes from the Wingnut fringe of his “party”. He barely tolerates the Realists of Bush 41 and we can watch carefully how he handles the proposals out of the Iraq Study Group, but if the attitude of his spinmeisters like Ron Christie is any example, it won’t be positive.

Sometimes, even Paranoids have enemies.

    Certainly, they’re the same folks who shoot out the tags on the back of highway signs because those tags are really there to guide UN forces when they come through. They’re also the folks who smash up the RFIDs in warehouses because they’re being used to track people, not the stuff in the warehouse.

    Yeah, I wish I were joking.

    Tancredo has just won the hearts and minds of every “Beware the One World Order,” nut in the nation and those guys tend to have at least one weapon laying around (for UN marker destruction activities if nothing else). He may be insane, but he’s by no means alone and he knows it.

  • Personally, I’m kinda happy with the three nations as separate entities and would strongly prefer to keep it that way unlike my corpulant PM, Stephen Harper as we are three distinct nations with different traditions, eh?

    Tancredo looks like the next LaRouche. I would not be surprised if he starts proclaiming that UFOs are flying in illegal immigrants from Canada and Mexico.

  • If you want to know the Bushite side of the story, read here.

    Remember, the Bushites don’t feel the slightest need to be truthful with the American people.

  • I think He Just lost the Hispanic vote. He also said we should Nuke Mecca in retaliation to terrorist attacks.

    If the GOP follows people like this, they will never take congress.

  • TAIO-R,

    and the black helicopters, don’t forget the black helicopters.

    And the microchips in babies.

    And, of course, the bar codes on the back of hands to replace money
    (The Mark of The Beast!!! AHHHHH!!!!!)

    Wait a tick, wasn’t it Dubya’s FATHER who coined “New World Order”???

  • Lance, you mentioned the 19th century and Germany; I was thinking more along the lines of the German/Austrian “Anschluss,” allowing Herr Bush to create his “Grosser Amerikan Reich.”

  • Tancredo may very well be correct.

    Governor Perry, in a secret deal, agreed to the building of a 10-lane highway traveling from Mexico to Canada right thru Texas. Other smaller highways will be built connecting to it in other states. The main vein will consist of railways, trucking lanes the whole nine yards. It is called the Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC).

    A lot of people in Texas will be real unhappy when they learn their land, homes, towns and historic sites will be claimed by the government via eminent domain.

    “”This is the largest land-grab in Texas history. Perry plans to force Texas families from their homes, kicking and screaming, so a foreign company can profit for the next 50 years. And, the details of the land grab are still being withheld from the public, for more than a year.” said Sal Costello, founder of People for Efficient Transportation PAC.” ….

    “Texas families getting kicked out of their homes to benefit foreign construction companies is a horrific lottery with scary odds,” said Costello. “They are forcing the TTC on Texans, and depending where they draw the line on the map will determine who gets booted from their homes.”

    I also read Bush plans to change the currency so Mexico, Canada and the US will use the same currency. Whether that is true or not Iam not sure, but the TTC is very real.

    If more Texans knew they would be absolutely furious. But as previously stated it’s a secret despite the fact a “lawsuit was filed in June of 2005 to keep the details from being made public. The attorney general ruled the contract must be made public over a year ago.”

    Tancredo may be justified in his outrage with all the secrecy surrounding the project — perhaps Bush does intend to dissolve the borders.

    No one knows exactly what is being done.

    No one seems to know why it is still a secret.

    No one knows whether their property will be taken by the Texas government.

    No one knows a damn thing except of course Perry and Bush and the foreign company slated to build the road.

    Bush and Perry could not find a US company to build it?

  • Podhoretz supports giving legal status to millions of illegal aliens, as well as giving them a path to citizenship. His comments about Cong. Tancredo are not surprising.

    Cong. Tancredo would make a great president as the folks at a Tancredo for President website, http://www.electtancredo.com, already know.

  • Replacing one freaked-out, bug-eyed nitwit—Bush—with another freaked-out, bug-eyed nitwit—Tancredo—does not “a great president” make. All it does is move from one extreme to the other, and neither serves as an appropriate solution….

  • One of the most dangerous aspects of the Shrub presidency has been that crackpot ideas can become possibilities. Combine that with the goal of a “permanent” R majority and one can imagine how folks in high places might begin laying the groundwork now for dasterdly deeds that wouldn’t neccesarily come about for a decade or two. After all, these are the guys who create new realities while the rest of us are left struggling to keep up. Instead of ruling things out, all we can do is try to establish odds that they’ll occur. Or try to keep them out of power.
