The day after the Iowa “Straw Poll,” Pat Boone the aging crooner turned syndicated columnist, reached the conclusion that: “I sure don’t like to doubt my president or his motives and actions” but “this is not the way our Constitutional democracy is supposed to work.”
I don’t like Pat’s use of the word “democracy.” He should have correctly stated “republic,” but the rest of his statement is worthy of consideration by all Americans who care about the survival of our Constitutional republic.
Boone uses the statement all students of high school typing since the invention of the keyboard will remember well to make his point that: “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.”
Boone, whose entertainment career spanned half a century, became a movie star, a best-selling author, had his own TV series and sold more records during the 1950s than any artist except Elvis Presley, refers to the wisdom and vision of our nation’s founders, including Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, Adams and others who created a nation that could stand on its own, defend its citizens against all challenges and be in debt to nobody.
Then came the matter that all thinking Americans must be attempting to understand as we approach another presidential election year. With all their wisdom, vision, checks and balances, the Founders of The United States of America “probably couldn’t envision a time when our own elected leaders might conceive of a plan to surrender our sovereignty, our independence, our very borders to other countries, other governments!”
Boone, a descendant of the legendary pioneer Daniel Boone concludes, as many readers of The Times Examiner concluded long ago: “The circumstance seems to threaten our country right now. And, apparently, it has been underway for some time.”
It is especially troubling to know that the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) exists. That former Prime Minister Paul Martin, in a report about the SPP Summit in Waco, Texas between himself, President Bush and President Fox of Mexico, stated that “On March 23, (2005) President Bush, President Fox and I signed the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.”
The Bush Administration continues to deny that President Bush signed the agreement that would ultimately dissolve the borders between the United States, Mexico and Canada and create one nation, the North American Union, patterned after the European Union, eliminating the US and Canadian Dollar and the Mexican Peso in favor of a new currency, the “Amero,” patterned after the European Union’s “Euro.”
There is a plan for construction of a NAFTA Super Highway, said to be as wide as eight football fields running from Mexico to Canada. Acquisition of property is already underway in Texas.
Boone recommends that skeptics, before coming to any conclusion based on his writing, go to the website of the American Policy Center www.AmericanPolicy.Org and read for themselves.
Many patriotic Americans, especially Republican supporters of President George W. Bush, find it unpleasant to question the words or actions of our President. I share that unpleasant feeling. However, we owe it to our children and grandchildren to resist any undermining of the Constitution of the United States of America and threats to the sovereignty of our Constitutional republic.
We must urge President Bush and his administration as well as presidential and congressional candidates to speak openly and honestly about their knowledge of and support of or opposition to the SPP. The stakes are too high to stick our heads in the sand and pretend there is no problem.
