the only purpose of the ATT is to fight terrorismI'm really starting to hate the so-called War on Terror.
you can bet that if President Obama wins a second term he’ll move full speed ahead for Senate ratification and implementation of the ATT’s mandatesWarning to all the purists here in FR: I'm going to be posting this quote, and a link to this thread, periodically between now and Nov, 2012.
Do you think if we were fighting Hitler and Tojo that the liberals would not rephrase this as "the only purpose of the ATT is to fight fascism?"
It does not make the war on terror wrong. It just shows that liberals, who refuse to fight the war on terror, are willing to use it in order to disarm the last nation on Earth where firearm rights are mostly intact.
US out of the UN, UN off US soil.....
I no longer believe these people are purists.
They are either as naive as the Jewish people who support Palestinian terrorists or they are simply evil infiltrators who should be banned from FR.
I will fight during the primary to ensure we have a solid conservative candidate. If I lose, I will support a ham sandwich over Obama, even if his last name is Romney.
Get us the “H” out of the UN. Eliminate the UN. It's been a Communist base from day one.
Been to an airport lately?
The fact is, after 9/11 all we had to do was harden the cockpit doors and arm the pilots.
We did the former, I’m not sure of the status of the latter, but in the meantime we’ve empowered an army of jackbooted thugs to grope 80year olds and 8year olds in the name of “War on Terror”... and at the same time, there is ATT.
As for the war against Germany and Japan in the 40s, that was a clearly defined DELCARED war with clearly defined objectives, fighting against clearly defined enemies.
The “War on Terror” is kept purposely vague and has a single, solitary goal: the magnification of State Power.
Ping!
I agree with the sentiment you express in #7 but with an explicit qualification:
The nomination of Willard Romney by the Republican Party will mean the certain re-election of The Kenyan King.
I understand what you are saying in #7 and I am not disagreeing with the concept you express, but I insist that nominating Romney will be a disaster of epic proportions.
Who actually believes that terrorist groups, rogue nations, and drug cartels would ever be constrained by this treaty.
Whoever believes it, I would love to sell you a terrific investment in skittles production, where you will have unlimited skittles coming out of unicorn a$$es.

Yes, it would be.....but we can only blame ourselves for not taking control of the party.
You are right. We all have to do our part to make sure this doesn’t happen.
The UN Plan For Human Settlements
The UN Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat II) which met June 3-14 in Istanbul, painted an alarming picture of the 21st century community. The American ways-free speech, individualism, travel, and Christianity-are out. A new set of economic, environmental, and social guidelines are in. Citizenship, democracy, and education have been redefined. Handpicked civil leaders will implement UN “laws”, bypassing state and national representatives to work directly with the UN. And politically correct “tolerance”-meaning “the rejection of dogmatism and absolutism” as well as “appreciation” for the world’s religions and lifestyles-is “not only a moral duty, it is also a political and legal requirement.”1
Hard to believe? Not for veteran UN observers who faced boos and hisses for expressing concern in open UN assemblies. Nor for pro-family members of NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) who faced exclusion from public dialogues for opposing feminist commander Bella Abzug and her radical agenda. And not for those who watched the ecstatic welcome given Fidel Castro and his anti-American diatribe.
Yet, our president and our non-elected American delegates, headed by U.S. Secretary Henry Cisneros, endorse this revolutionary plan, and our U.S. Department of Education is already establishing the framework for its local implementation.

60 votes in the Senate to end a fillibuster and ratify? I really doubt it. Especially after the 2012 elections, which right now forecasts the Repubs holding 57 seats.
The really hilarious thing about this sort of nonsense is that the US and other "good guys" will be the only ones constrained by these "treaties." Just like gun control laws, only the "law abiding" will follow the laws.
No sir, we will not be constrained. Anti-gun treaties that violate our rights will be ignored by a large number of patriots.
My neighbors and I know that local law enforcement (who are also members of our local Oath Keepers group) will not be the ones enforcing unconstitutional laws or confiscating firearms, so any liberty-raping fascist jackboots that show up in our neighborhood will be treated as domestic enemies and dispatched accordingly.
We will not go quietly into the night.
The UN doesn’t care what the NRA thinks.
I’m guessing the motion will coast through the UN and then go to the US Senate where it will coast through just as easily.
What’s the UN going to do if I treat one of its resolutions or treaties with intentional, deliberate, and willful contempt? Come to think of it, the Human Rights Council banned criticism of Islam. I will show my respect for this ban as follows. “Militant Islam is a phony religion for superstitious Stone Age savages, with nothing to offer its followers but filth, ignorance, poverty, violence, and squalor.”
A nithing is a subhuman monster and an enemy of civilization, like the rapist and murderer of a child or a terrorist. If you were a medieval Scandinavian and somebody called you a nithing, you had to fight a duel (holmgang) with him to avoid being outlawed, i.e. put outside the law's protection. The word strips its target of his very humanity and relegates him to the status of vermin, the Devil, or even worse. UN = United Nithings.
