Will the United States remain a republic? Or is it
her destiny -- and that of all nations -- to submit to
the rule of world government? This is the issue of
the millennium.
Across the Atlantic, ancient states are yielding
control of their frontiers, money and defense to a
socialist superstate. They soon will cease to be
nations and become provinces of "Euroland."
Thus, our new Reform Party sets as its first goal
derailing the new world order.
The outcome may seem pre-ordained. Clinton
Democrats are on the other side of the struggle,
while Bush Republicans are unaware there is a
struggle. The U.S. establishment has gone over
entirely.
But hope lies with our new Reform Party, which is
bustling with eager recruits on the eve of our
convention. If there is an issue on which all of our
disparate factions are united, it is the preservation
of American sovereignty.
The heartland is with us, for true patriotism is at war
with globalism. No people want to lose their
country, nor will men give love and allegiance to an
entity larger than the nation. No one will die
for the European Union or the United Nations. Our
natural allies are the patriots of all nations, who are
desperate to preserve their unique national
identities. Given power, we first would restore "the
Great Rule" of U.S. foreign policy, dissolving
all of the entangling alliances erected to fight a
Soviet empire that has been stone-cold dead for 10
years. In 1961, Eisenhower urged us to bring the
troops home from Europe and let Europeans
defend their own continent. Now, bring them home
from Asia as well, where they are no longer
needed.
Not isolationists
We do not wish to isolate the United States from
the world. We only wish to isolate it from wars that
are not America's wars. Since 1989, we have
invaded Panama, Haiti and Somalia and smashed
Iraq and Serbia. For what? Somalia and Haiti are in
shambles. Our Panama Canal now is run by agents
of Beijing. We are bogged down in the Balkans.
And we must defend the kings, sheiks and
emirs of the Gulf from Iran and Iraq, even as they
collude with Iran and Iraq to rob us by tripling the
price of oil.
With 40 nations defaulting on debts, the U.N.'s
stumbling bloodily in Africa, International Monetary
Fund blunders and rising hostility to the World
Trade Organization, the time is ripe to ring down
the curtain on world government.
A child of Europe
Now to the issues about which people talk
constantly, but from which politicians recoil:
immigration and race. We come from all
countries and continents, in all colors and creeds.
But we are an English-speaking people, a child of
Europe, a part of the West. Without apology, our
party would resist the use of mass immigration
to alter the character of our country, and we would
abolish all racial preferences and quotas. They are
as unjust when used against white Americans as
they were when used against African-Americans.
To give the great American melting pot time to
work its magic again, we would reduce immigration
to more traditional levels -- 300,000 a year -- and
use the U.S. military, if necessary, to defend our
borders. Arizona, after all, means more to us than
Bosnia. If the ideal of "one nation, one people" is to
be realized, we must address the danger of
Balkanization that faces us and every great nation
from China to Canada and Britain to Brazil.
There is another time bomb ticking: a trade deficit
closing in on 5% of gross domestic product. To
defuse that, we would enact a revenue tariff of
10%, generating $ 1 trillion in 10 years. Add
that to the $ 2 trillion in projected surpluses, and we
have the money to repeal all death and capital-gains
taxes and give America the lowest tax rates of any
industrial democracy.
Finally, we would corral a renegade Supreme Court
and roll back its social revolution, restoring a
constitutional republic in this land. The power is
there in the Constitution, if only Congress and the
president have the courage to pick it up.
Republicans may be conscientious objectors in the
culture wars, but we are not stacking arms. By
restoring our republic and making this God's
country again, we take as our sacred texts the
Constitution and the Old and New Testaments.
God's law should be the inspiration and source of
man's law. If this be extremism, make the most of
it.
