1. Have you spent any time exploring their site? http://www.cfr.org/

If for many decades this group worked toward a world of cooperating world governments, they may now be operating with the newer version, a world made up of competing traders with no particular national alliance, and not necessarily cooperating, but competing for control and power.

I have not visited there for a while. You will be able to tell by what is said about, wages and education, health care, and individual political rights.

You see a lot of conspiracy attacks from the most conservative sites, the old UN Haters also hate this organization because our older conservative groups like nationalism and fear their loss of identity and wealth to those starving brown and black people. . . . etc.

2. I hear you... but I don't think that it as as simple as that....

ignoring the brown/black thing, which I think is a canard used by those in favor of un elected entities,
I think that a vast majority of people would LIKE to keep America's sovereignty intact. Just sayin', if you did a blind poll across party lines and asked "Do you want to be like us? or them?" I think that the answer would be very clear.

3. Can you explain why you think you nation is in danger from cooperating with other nations mostly to

prevent another world disaster like WWII?

5. Yes....very simply..they are not elected and so,,, should not be meddling in affairs that...

concern us in regards to our relationships with other countries. It's really pretty simple.
Do you want them speaking for you?

6. Do you mean no group including say, Doctors without Borders, should have the right to lobby our

elected to promote cooperation? I don't think you have looked at their membership list, it is available and does include many elected, U.S. legislators, governors, former governors, Presidents, former Presidents along with private individuals.
