What would be the test to see whether or not a citizen loves this nation?
Seems intuitive to simply see whether that citizen is in favor of maintaining the authority of the nation.

That's called sovereignty.




1. The term sovereignty was rarely used before the 17th century, the time that people first came to think of representative assemblies as legislatures, reflecting the modern emphasis on law as an act of governing, i.e. government by consent. And during this period, discussions began about international law, the relations of sovereign nations.

In fact, the Declaration of Independence refers to such a law, in its first sentence: “…necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station…” thus assuming that nations, like individuals, have rights.
From a speech by Jeremy Rabkin, professor of law, George Mason School of Law, June 5, 2009 at Washington, D.C. sponsored by Hillsdale College.


2. " Sovereignty is the quality of having independent authority over a geographic area, such as a territory"
Encyclopædia Britannica

A geographic area is described by its borders.
If a nation chooses not to control its borders, it has no sovereignty.
It ceases to be a nation.





3. There are many, far too many, even elected officials who wear the label of "progressives"…and that doesn’t just mean Democrats, who are opposed to sovereignty, nationhood, separate and distinct.
They are globalists, one-worlders.
Listen to them speak:

a.Strobe Talbot, president of the Brookings Institution, has written that he welcomed ‘super-national political authority,’ saying "In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all."

b.Harold Koh, chief legal adviser of the State Department, and the legal authority of the government on foreign legal policy, states that the Supreme Court "must play a key role in coordinating U.S. domestic constitutional rules with rules of foreign and international law," The only way for the Supreme Court to do that "coordinating" is to subordinate the real American Constitution to ever-evolving rules of foreign and international law.

c.Richard Haass, Republican, president of the Council on Foreign Relations “… states must be prepared to cede some sovereignty to world bodies if the international system is to function…. sovereignty must be redefined if states are to cope with globalization.”

d. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg defended the use of foreign law by American judges,...American hostility to the consideration of foreign law, she said, “is a passing phase.” http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/12/us/12ginsburg.html

From “Sovereignty or Submission,” John Fonte



4. So....when the the California Supreme Court decided to allow an illegal alien to be awarded a law license, it, in effect voted to end sovereignty.

"California illegal immigrants can get law license, state Supreme Court rules" California illegal immigrants can get law license, state Supreme Court rules - San Jose Mercury News




And so ends the great and noble experiment known as the United States of America....

...as T.S. Eliot wrote, "Not with a bang but a whimper."
 
From the article RE: Ginsberg, she also said not long back in discussing a country wishing to set up it's own form of Constitutional Government, that said entity should NOT look to the US Constitution as guide, but to other countries that are so-called free.

The stupid senile gash ought to be hung out on a ledge overlooking the Supreme Court.

We've been going down this road for well over a hundred years. America is done unless the status quo is sent packing. Anything other than a genuine small government conservative as the Republican nominee in 2016 with be another wasted vote for conservatives. I won't do it again, fuck them. Fuck Karl Rove, fuck the Bushes, the Boehners, the McCains, the Cantors, all the useless power hungry pieces of shit. People better wake the fuck up.
 
Your points are silly; the sky is not falling.

Any time a nation enters into an international treaty, one could say that it gives up a bit of its sovereignty - it acknowledges the interests of some other sovereign nation or nations and makes a mutual accommodation. Giving up the Panama Canal was an abdication of U.S. sovereignty, but approved by the Senate. Done deal. So what? Maybe you disagree, but the legal processes were followed.

This is why treaties must be ratified by Congress, as do any other undertakings that involve relinquishing any rights that the Sovereign (i.e., Federal Government) has heretofore claimed, whether legitimately or otherwise.

Consider the Kyoto Protocols and the L.O.S.T. Both have been proposed for U.S. acceptance but rejected by the Senate - so they are not binding on us, despite promises from a President or two that we would sign on.

Just because some politician proposes that we sign a treaty doesn't make them un-American.

There is nothing wrong with the Congress considering foreign laws and precedents when debating legislation, but I agree that the Supreme Court has no business taking them into consideration when ruling on AMERICAN laws.

"... the Supreme Court has no business taking them into consideration when ruling on AMERICAN laws."


I'll drink to that.
 
Funny how thing change. But they do.



Seems that those without a deep affection for this nation couldn't care less, huh.

Meh, can't get worked up about this issue.

You know what I do get worked up about?

That big corporations take American Jobs every day and ship them to Mexico, to China, to Malaysia, to India, undermining our industrial infrastructure and middle class lifestyles.

That's what I get upset about.

Not that some illegal alien got a law license.

Good thing we have a Democrat President who eschews such outsourcing!!!!
Wait.....


1. The Obama administration had joined the new Arab-based International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), and agreed to provide millions to support international green energy jobs. “In its fiscal 2012 budget request for international programs, the administration has asked for $5.2 million for IRENA.” U.S. Taxpayers on the Hook As Obama Joins a New International Renewable Energy Agency | CNS News How many jobs in the United States will this endeavor provide?

2. Obama regulatory and tax policies sent jobs overseas.

3. “President Barack Obama will present his “jobs plan” on Wednesday at a company which is shipping jobs overseas…. WestStar is a high-end, specialty manufacturer that just opened a new facility in San Jose, Costa Rica — creating many new jobs there, but not in the United States.” http://test.dailycaller.com/2011/09...c-company-that’s-shipping-jobs-to-costa-rica/



4. “This isn’t the first time Obama has chosen to speak at a North Carolina company outsourcing jobs overseas. In mid-June, Obama spoke at Cree LED Light Company to discuss his job creation and economic policies. Cree has been shipping jobs to China.” Ibid.

a. Cree was also a recipient of Obama stimulus funds, a portion of which was also used to send jobs overseas. Limbaugh, “The Great Destroyer,” p.27.

5. “The Department of Energy estimated that 82,000 jobs have been created and has acknowledged that as much as 80 percent of some green programs, including $2.3 billion of manufacturing tax credits, went to foreign firms that employed workers primarily in countries includingChina, South Korea and Spain, rather than in the United States.” 'Green' jobs no longer golden in stimulus - Washington Times

Using EPA grant money, the state offered to refit the trucks with the new exhaust systems, replacing factory-installed mufflers with converters similar to what is required for U.S. trucks.

Good analysis, Joey....

You mean the INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONS AND THE GOVERNMENT TOOLS THEY OWN?

I quite agree that the concept of nationhood is under an attack disguised as an attack on bad national governance.

Time to re-educate you.

3. Now...this might prove to be the “Hermeneutical Key" you so sorely require:
Have you noticed who the President is??


Wise up.

Good analysis, Joey....

Yeah, boyyyyyyyeee

This was the best you can come up with, "Well, well, well... OBAMA!!!"



It was far better than the Leftist propaganda that you posted.

We both know it was, because of how painful it was for you to include it in this post.


As the famed Brown Bomber said: you can run but you can't hide.

"Just because some politician proposes that we sign a treaty doesn't make them un-American."

If the treaty denies American sovereignty, well, yeah, it pretty much defines un-American.
 
Everyday that we fail to secure our borders we lose a little sovereignty.
Every time an illegal alien is arrested and we fail to deport them we lose a little sovereignty.
