Patrick Wood, founder of The August Review, is a part of the
"freedom movement." He is motivated by pursuit of a strong
America and preservation of sovereignty, principles undermined by current trade policies. Patrick has plenty of friends
on the right, and, you may be surprised to learn, plenty on the
left. He disdains the knee-jerk suspicion shown by one side towards the other.
Patrick sees large swaths of commonality between the left and
the right, and is working to strengthen them. Indeed, he has
started a new networking website called LeftRightUnite. The site seems to be taking off soon after launch, and even though it is still in the beta version.

Patrick's explanation of the concept that party affiliation is
meaningless at best, and destructive at worst, in working to get the
country on the right track.

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, who cared about
political party affiliation? Men (and women) dropped everything to
defeat the common enemy. Why? Because survival of their country was as
risk!
We face just such a time as that.
We are being plundered by free trade, private-public-partnerships and
international banks. Our food and product safety mechanisms have been
systematically dismantled and are headed toward all-time lows. Our
farms are being destroyed to extent that we are now net importers of
food (and lousy food, at that). Our manufacturing base is almost
completely gone as companies are bought and sent to cheaper labor
markets. (read more)
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Can you hear the crunching, tearing sound of our midsection being ripped open?
If either Republicans or Democrats could have fixed America, they would have done it long before now.
The more you look, the more you see that both major U.S. political
parties are dominated by the same group of global elitists. The same
super-rich foundations. The same NGO's. The same global bankers. The
same lobbyists. The same global corporations.
Furthermore, the globalizers know that in order to keep our eyes off of
them, they need to keep us fighting among ourselves over issues more
petty than merely saving our nation from total extinction.
The fact is, if Americans would stop fighting long enough to see these
hijackers for who they really are and for what they have done to us,
they would puke them out of the U.S. in less than a country minute.
My message to liberals and conservatives of all flavors is this: "If
you don't stop bickering and get down to business of protecting our
sovereignty, we aren't going to have a country left to bicker in!"
In other words, stop falling for cheap tricks that point you down
infinitely contentious trails leading to nowhere. This only buys the
enemy more time to make another thousand cuts on what's left of our
already wounded carcass.
I have heard for years from both conservatives and liberals that we
need to join forces to save America. But, the bickering just gets
louder.
Enough, already!
My contribution to this mess is to offer a new social networking web site, LeftRightUnite!, where all sides can get together in a constructive way, for a specific purpose -- to save the ship-of-state for another day.
If you don't know what a social network is, think MySpace.com or
FaceBook.com. If you still don't know, you will just have to go there
and grab a membership to find out. Either way, it won't cost you a dime.
With LeftRightUnite!, you can express yourself, make friends, join
action groups, locate people around you, organize protests, visits to
your legislators, whatever.
Just don't sit still.
