Yesterday I posted an OP about citizenship, and it's relationship to borders and sovereignty.
Included was the following:
The tenets of Liberalism are counter to this theme. Liberalism endorses open borders, and a 'citizen of the world' view....a construct that never has and never will exist.
Beware of a President intent on giving away America's sovereignty.

1. "OBAMA SECRETLY NEGOTIATING AWAY U.S. SOVEREIGNTY
2-pronged assault on economy, consumer rights, domestic law
2. Wednesday, Obama defended a proposed mega free-trade zone between the worlds two largest economies, the United States and the European Union.
3. Obama was responding to criticism of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, or TTIP, which the U.S. has been negotiated with the EU since last July
4. .... a proposed Regulatory Cooperation Council that would evaluate existing regulations in the U.S. and EU and recommend future rules while coordinating a response to the current regulations.
5. Writing in the left-leaning the Nation magazine, foreign policy analyst Andrew Erwin said the TTIP was less about reducing tariffs and more about weakening the power of average citizens to defend themselves against corporate labor and environmental abuses.
6. .... a section in the TTIP called the Investor-State Dispute Settlement, which stipulates foreign corporations can sue the government utilizing a special international tribunal instead of the countrys own domestic system that uses U.S. law.
a. The tribunals are not accountable to any national public or democratically elected body,
7. The New York Times, meanwhile, reported earlier this week that some American companies are concerned that protections for investors will not be part of a deal.
8. ... Obama is negotiating the TTIP largely in secret,... new guidelines for everything from food safety to fracking, financial markets, medical prices, copyright rules and Internet freedom.
9. The few aspects of the partnership leaked to the public indicate an expansive agenda with highly limited congressional oversight
10. Ministers and negotiators have made significant progress in recent months on all the legal texts and annexes on access to our respective goods, services, investment, financial services, government procurement, and temporary entry markets, the White House said." OBAMA SECRETLY NEGOTIATING AWAY U.S. SOVEREIGNTY. 2-pronged assault on economy, consumer rights, domestic law « Klein Online
Liberals/Progressives hate America, American sovereignty, American independence, American exceptionalism.
For the purposes of this post, and self- evident, I believe, a Liberal is anyone who voted for the windbag in the White House.
