Link – “The Megamerge Dissolution Solution” – Great article on USAv3 (aka USAv2 + Mexico)

Read it here.
It is long and fun to read. More importantly, it comes more ground with how a USAv3 would look and makes it quite exciting!
Here are Three excerpts:
Never fear, a satisfying, comprehensive solution is within reach: the Megamerge Dissolution Solution. Simply dissolve the border along with the failed Mexican government, and megamerge the two [...]

USAv3 – Not getting closer

I came across this that I wrote at TDAXP in 2006:

Canadian provinces will be free join when/if if the Canadian Union breaks apart (I assume Quebec will go it alone). The Western provinces would be a nice addition. Anyways, unless federalism is strong at the time they might not want to join. A free trade [...]

The System That Is America and “Palin is qualified for high office by temperament if not by education, and is preferable to candidates whose education has made no improvement on their characters”

A great line by “Spengler” on Palin at the Asia Times!
The article has much insight on The System That Is America (I am trying out that the phrase of my own), that is often lacking from our own media, establishment elites and my fellow citizens:
All the PhDs and MBAs in the world can’t make a [...]

Here is what my brain is screaming: How do we make the next version of the USA?

I am pretty pissed. This is all I can think of right now.
It is time to put this statist / Marxist / corrupt-elites crap behind us once and for all.

Update: Read this at Amicablecollisions –
Is it going too far to conclude that our political class is a greater threat to America than Al Qaeda? [...]

“They need a Mexican Awakening where the people of mexico follow the model of Hidalgo from 1810 and take their country back”

So says Brent Winterable on this episode of covert radio referencing the past on the possible coming (4GW-ish) narco-driven civil war involving Mexico, the narco-gangs, and inevitably the United States.

Update: Jay@Soob is on this too

Fidel Castro Has Resigned

I am listening to this on TV – CNN International.
We know what to do – time for the soft take-down. Well, the time was well over a year ago to start.

“Today Zapata’s grandson, who lives in misery, tells me why the legacy of the revolution is an unmitigated failure with respect to peasants in the countryside.”

Read it here.
The land was given to the
people, all right,” says Emiliano. “Under the ejido system, a
plot of land was handed to peasant villages and communities, and each one
appointed a commissar to preside over it. Then the politicians bribed or
co-opted the appointees and politicized the whole thing. The local party
bosses would get the commissars to [...]

“Unified North American”

This web site is all about a union of the USA and Canada and seems to be written by Canadians.
Here are something interesting things from the faq:

A mature North American Union already exists, and its name is the United States of America. There need not be a supranational institution in North America working between three [...]

Washingtonwatch.com: Open Source Federal Government Watchdogs

This is an interesting site –> washingtonwtach.com :
Washingtonwatch.com tracks the bills in Congress, along with estimates about their costs or savings, when available.
It has a wiki too!
More of this please.

A Bold Suggestion For Cuba

Peter F. Schaefer writes in TCS Daily:
Writing in the current issue of Foreign Affairs, Julia Sweig, the Director of Latin America Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations,[...] “…that moment has come and gone …the post-Fidel transition is already well under way. Power has been successfully transferred to a new set of leaders, whose priority [...]

“America needs a new elite”

Zenpundit writes:
While we can differ on details, I am more or less in agreement with Fabius that America’s elite, both Left and Right, have failed the people and the soldiers in Iraq with their uncertainty, fecklessness, paralysis and addiction to self-absorbed partisanship. America needs a new elite, the old one has lost heart, nerve and [...]

These are interesting things you might like to read. It is a long post though…

WTF is Aztec Math?

Michelle Malkin mentions/mocks “Aztec Math.
My thought: WTF is is Aztec Math?
I guess it turns out to Aztec characters. That should be a good education for those kids. Jeez.
Aztec Math will not be taught in USAv3.

Mexican Lawfare against the US: Mexico Threatens Suits Over Guard Patrols

I guess Mexico really is supporting a 4G movement against the US.
In reaction to the US President announcing some (fairly small) illegal immigration countermeasures, Mexico announced they would begin to practice Lawfare against the US (in addition to Population / Immigration warfare, Media warfare and Diplomatic Warfare)
Via digg:
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – Mexico said [...]

New Word: Mexitude

Via Freedom Folks, a new word: Mexitude
The de facto control of social and political policy by illegal aliens.
Think dhimmitude, but substitute Colorado for Kandahar, and La Raza for The Religion of Peace.
The correct way to fight Mexitude long-term is to annex Mexico and create USAv3: Expand the USA south, not the MUS north.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

From Wikipedia:
It commemorates the victory of Mexican forces led by General Ignacio Zaragoza over the French expeditionary forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.
…
The battle between the French and Mexican armies occurred on May 5 when Zaragoza's ill-equipped militia of 4,500 men encountered the better armed French force. However, Zaragoza's small and [...]

Federalism and USAv3

Richard Samuelson writes in Real Clear Politics about Federalism:
Can states' rights end the culture war? Commentators from David Brooks to Andrew Sullivan to David Gelernter believe that it can. According to Sullivan, in an essay in The New Republic, "The whole point of federalism is that different states can have different public policies on matters [...]

Annex Mexico? The Meme Spreads!

Instapundit links to himself and spreads the TDAXP meme of USA+Mexico=USA (which I call USAv3):
So maybe we've been thinking about this the wrong way. Instead of worrying about Mexicans invading America, maybe what we need is for the United States to annex Mexico.
He is not suggesting that it happens right away, but that at [...]

Ideologies and USAv3

Econlog has a post that links to the article on TCS entitled Tribal Politics that is about immigration.
In it, Arnold Kling lays-out competing ideologies/systems:
Transnational Libertarianism

individual rights based
no economic borders
locally focused
amoral relativism (Purpleslog description)
Utopian
big problem: getting there from here
This the Kling preference

Islamofascism

Islam as transnational expansionist totalitarian political movement

Transnational Progressivism aka Tranzis

Global Marxism the Next Generation
Creeping Folk [...]

USA version 3?

TDAXP has a post suggesting that Mexico (each Mexican state and the special Federal district as 32 new US states) join the USA:
America is a “melting pot,” in which cultures cannot be kept distinct and separate.
and
America (the United States of America) and Mexico (the Mexican United States) were both conceived as multinational [...]
