Well no, I'm not a one worlder, but I am a small worlder.

I recognize that the world is getting smaller, that it is reorganizing

I support the political leaders that will get out in front of it and shape it so it benefits me.

[Paul Ross]

Reviewing your "Testimony" link again, I note that the only "open" hearing where opposition was allowed, was the House International Relations Committee, (which could not block the damn treaty even if the House unanimously agreed to oppose it) where it ostensibly featured both strong proponents and opponents of ratification.

But BOTH of your other links were to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee...which is guilty as charged. I note none of the other, more critical Senate Committees where Frist forwarded the Treaty got linked here. Surprise, surprise.

Is that the new euphemism today used when losing your country's sovernerity---reorganizing? That's exactly what I fight aganist-reorganizing my country.

I support the political leaders that will get out in front of it and shape it so it benefits me.

That's the piece you're not seeing. They don't care about you and me. It won't benefit you, it'll benefit the UN.

Your hero, then?

I liked this little description of him...

"His bias is wide open enough to drive an eighteen wheeler through it, and makes the case that inside every Khofi Annan there's an Idi Amin screaming to get out..."

Come to Poppa...show me the Money!

How about this one?

"They don't care about you and me"

Speak for yourself. I'm in on the conspiracy, remember.

I'm in on the conspiracy, remember

Okay, have it your way, but I'm warning you right now...there is no honor among thieves.

President Reagan frequently quoted the Russian proverb, “doveryay, no proveryay,” trust but verify. Of course, he was referring to the Soviets and nuclear missiles at the height of the Cold War but you would do well to heed this advice before trusting your life and liberty to the likes of a World Government run by these Usual Suspects.

As you wish.

Don't forget, will rape children.

[Publius6961]

Protocols, treaties and agreements in the last 50 years have been notable for one constant feature:

They tie the hands of the innocent and are violated with impunity by criminal and terrorist countries.

And, oh yes, the self-appointed arbiters are fourth rate, useless countries with no power other than self-delusion and bluster (i.e.- Belgium and the Netherlands).

Sigh. It's baaaack...

UN-Enviro-3rd World scam

In wartime it will come apart as the League Of Nations did

How big is the UN's naval fleet?

Operative term: redistribution of wealth.
It seems every UN program requires taxing the US more, because it's not fair we're inventive and productive, or something.
