I didn't know that France was actively supporting the Parti Quebecois thirty years ago. Roll Eyes

Which, apart from Charles de Gaulle standing on the balcony and shouting "Vive le Quebec libre!" (which was just posturing), amounts to nothing. So that analogy (which is presumably mentioned in the book), falls flat.

Oh great, more of those vague "de-facto" associations. Roll Eyes Apart from a simple glance at a map, which would indicate it's absurd to think France could retake Quebec, the Quebecois had become culturally disassociated with France after hundreds of years of isolation (there are basically no politicians who talk of a French nation in North America). Not to mention the fact that the separatists of the time looked to the US with greater fondness, and the dire consequences of promoting disunity in a fellow NATO member. So, the "France wants to retake Quebec" analogy flies straight out the window onto the sidewalk.

As for this "Mexico wants to take over the US Southwest" thing, it's just ridiculous. If you're a poor Mexican who makes $800 a year, you will look at the US as a place to move to (in a dangerous and illegal way) improve your livelihoods. No one that poor will care about whether they have a "duty" to migrate.

Finally, I wouldn't take the words of someone who thinks Christians have a duty to support Apartheid South Africa and who supports the genocidal dictators of Congo and Liberia. Oh, and what happened to the tsunami he predicted would destroy the Pacific Northwest in 2006? This guy is a scamming attention whore. Nothing more.
