So THIS is what the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy was up to!

A couple of posts ago, I wondered aloud what the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy was up to.

Apparently they were in Palm Beach convening at "Restoration Weekend," an event sponsored by The David Horowitz Freedom Center.

One of the speakers was Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colorado, who is quoted in a WorldNetDaily piece, as saying President Bush believes America is an "idea" and not a "place."

PALM BEACH, Fla. President Bush believes America should be more of an idea than an actual place, a Republican congressman told WND in an exclusive interview.

"People have to understand what we're talking about here. The president of the United States is an internationalist," said Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo. "He is going to do what he can to create a place where the idea of America is just that --it's an idea. It's not an actual place defined by borders. I mean this is where this guy is really going."

Tancredo lashed out at the White House's lack of action in securing U.S. borders, and said efforts to merge the U.S. with both Mexico and Canada is not a fantasy.

"I know this is dramatic -- or maybe somebody would say overly dramatic -- but I'm telling you, that everything I see leads me to believe that this whole idea of the North American Union, it's not something that just is written about by right-wing fringe kooks. It is something in the head of the president of the United States, the president of Mexico, I think the prime minister of Canada buys into it. ...

"And they would just tell you, 'Well, sure, it's a natural thing. It's part of the great globalization ... of the economy.' They assume it's a natural, evolutionary event that's going to occur here. I hope they're wrong and I'm going to try my best to make sure they're wrong. But I'm telling you the tide is great. The tide is moving in their direction. We have to say that."

(the article continues...be sure to read the whole thing)

Some of us have been saying as much for some time now, but we're generally thought of as "nutters."

Maybe some of the attendees of the "Restoration Weekend" will have had some epiphanies along these lines. I hope the Talkers will open up this week and let us know what went on this weekend.
