Is he likely to sell our sovereignty to that body, or pressure them through fund withholding to conform to their original mandate - in service to freedom and democracy?
Thanks.
He just did a scathing piece on the U.N. last week. I’ll try to find it for you.
Lots of people are claiming he’s a “globalist” but that is completely ridiculous, because of his strong stance on state’s rights. You can’t be both.
He IS for free trade.
It’s nice to have someone asking sincere questions. :)
Funny you should ask that. I was just reading one of his position papers on his old Senate website today.
Lastly, the United States should work through international institutions, such as the United Nations and the World Trade Organization, to help resolve regional disputes, to voice our concerns about the actions of other nations, and to promote our values and ideas. However, Senator Thompson does not believe that the United States should be expected to shoulder the financial burden of these international institutions. Each country that has a voice in the operation of the institution should share the burden of operating the institution. Nor does he believe that the United States should cede any of our sovereign rights as a nation to multilateral institutions. At no time should international institutions be given the authority to tax American citizens, control U.S. soldiers outside our chain of command, prosecute Americans soldiers and citizens, or make laws governing the American people.
Considering that he wants to get the federal government out of the business of things that belong to state and local governments (if even that), I sincerely doubt he has any plans to submit to an international government.
