Ad hominem statements about the author or publisher of a piece do not disprove the truth of its content. The reference to WND is particularly irrelevant since they merely published the piece. State one thing in Pat's article that you disagree with and explain why. Regardless of your personal opinion of him, Pat is right on the money with this editorial.
"Why should laws enacted by Congress and signed by the president be subject to any review, other than by our own Supreme Court?"
Exactly. Why do we put up with this? What is in it for America? Why fund and continue to aid these organizations?
Like we needed more reasons to get out of the UN...
Or is that Ralph Nader pretending to be Michael Moore?
Perhaps you need to get your head out of that dark place and see for yourself.
Not sure we have that long. Many believe that whichever establishment faction (Dem/GOP) is installed next will likely make massive concessions to the UN, and we may even see the formal beginnings of a UN Army.
Perhaps you need to unwrap the tin-foil from around your head ... it seems to be constricting your mental facilities, such as they are.
I have a good way to counter this. Congress can pass a law that states anyone involved in indicting, trying, or overseeing the trial in the International Court of any U.S. citizen will be guilty of a felony punishable by death. Said persons to be actively apprhended by U.S. authorities using any means at their disposal.
Oh no! You are one of those "tin-foil" fanatics. You can't just scream TIN-FOIL every time the reality of the day is in direct conflict with your personal beliefs.
Signs of the "times"! What is next???
I should have stated that you can't do that and seem rational.
The UN wants every inch of this earth under their power
and they will get it. It doesn't take a rocket scientist
to see where we're headed.
It is not ad hominem to note that Pat Buchanan and WorldNetDaily have by their own writings and practices demonstrated that they are not to be trusted as unbiased and helpful commentators on world events. I see no need to waste effort on Mr. Buchanan beyond my original post.
US out of the UN, UN out of the US. The first step is to cut current funding by 100%.
I guess it depends on one's expectations. If one expects liberal media corroborating politically correct tripe or political party pablum, any objective opinion buttressed by historical fact could seem biased.
I see Pat is still off his meds.
We support it due to liberal guilt combined with the simple fact that the idea appeared to come from US liberal intellectuals at the end of WW2 (but of course suggested to them by KGB implants). There is a lot of stupid momentum to keep it going. There is too much smearing of anyone who wants to end the UN - we are all labeled "tin foil Birchers" whether or not we have ever had a thing to do with the JBS (which I personally have not...). What is missing is the fact that there is indeed an academic argument, increasingly being stated by conservatives, that there is no end to great wars, and the sooner we accept that reality, the easier the coming century will be. On the other hand, should we cling to the naive, utopian, farce that it is possible to launch one's self beyond the end of history, and enter some magical period of lasting peace, we are in for a rude awakening that would make us yearn for a fate as kind as that which befell France in 1870 or the UK in 1940.
You forgot one small detail - the US $1M reward! ;)
Pat suggests that Hitler's Germany posed no physical threat to the United States, and that we should therefore have not fought them in WWII. Enough said.
I read the whole article; I didn't see that anywhere. Where did you find this statement?
Based on your comments to me, I presumed that you had knowledge of Mr. Buchanan's other positions. It appears that is not the case.
