Judging by the fact that the video was over 4 minutes long, I'm guessing that the three first people didn't watch it. But whatever. I agree with the point Lou Dobbs is making, but please, our forefathers aren't having convosions in their graves because that's not a word.

I imagine the forefathers are having convulsions as their vision of America has been immensely tarnished...what was meant to be democracy expressing the will of the people has become increasingly a country with laws and policies catering to the very small wealthiest section of the society, and under the Bush administration a lot of liberties have been and are diminished. The corporation which was to serve the people and didn't have the powers of a person now is now very much the master. The Federal Reserve Bank which should have been a public organization is a private organization, etc. The power over US currency should have never been given to a bunch of rich individuals. You'd not have had the same public debt had the government kept control of this power. I don't know but I doubt if this loss of liberty and shift towards plutocracy would have occurred if the American public had been vigilant...still, there's still hope that people will wake up and claim back their sovereignty. So it ain't just Bush, though his administration has been one of the worst.

No, how did he do that? America is still alive and well, and so are our rights!
As for our forefathers, no, I don't believe they are. So President Bush suspended habeas corpus. So? He's not the first president to do so in times of war, and we ARE at war!
Remember, FDR put Japanese-Americans in concentration camps, and you want to criticize Bush? FDR is one of the best presidents our country has ever had, and I think someday President Bush will be remembered as such also.
The ends do justify his means.
Ever watch "24"? Our government does what it has to, in order to keep us ignorant and content. There is so much that goes on in our federal government that not only SHOULD we not know, we CAN'T know. And the news media should learn to keep such things a secret.
Why? Because guess what. As soon as the news media knows, our ENEMIES know!
As for a union with Canada and Mexico, why not? It doesn't mean it's all going to be one country. What it DOES mean is that the standard of food safety will rise in Mexico, because they'll be held to the same standards as we are.
What it means is safety and prosperity for Mexico, Canada, and the US. What it means is that maybe Mexico will become a better country, and their citizens won't be flooding our borders illegally.
So why not? The EU is several different countries, who all still maintain their own laws and governments, but they are united. I see nothing wrong with this.

Yes he did. There is a world of a difference between your forefathers and Bush. He destroyed America and is currently destroying the world.

It's the cowardly libs that will take this country down.
What's it going take before you see, there are real threats out there and always trying to buy your way out doesn't work. Our forefathers would roll over in their graves seeing your cringing from anything that might make you have to get your hands dirty.
You can't reason with everyone.

Yes on both counts! Can't you see that fool was screwing up the Constitution by misbehaving in office? Our forefathers, who crafted this crucial document, are convulsing in their graves even as I speak!
