As the speakers held forth from the podium, the biggest cheers from this crowd were provoked by condemnations of the New World Order, foreign intervention, and the globalist agenda of our regnant elites. George III could not have said it better. Friends, I am ashamed to say it, but we have begun to behave like the haughty British empire our fathers rose up against and threw out of this country.

We Americans come from all countries and continents, and want to trade with and travel with all countries, and have commercial, cultural, and diplomatic contact with every nation on earth. But we will no longer squander the blood of our soldiers fighting other countries' wars or the wealth of our people paying other countries' bills.

This week, emerging from a long and bloody struggle, a movement was born.
