Texas is larger than most countries in the United Nations, some not much bigger than the postage stamps they print for collectors, but each with a vote that can cancel ours out. Texas is about to a vote against the U.N.’s sovereignty-destroying Agenda 21, so named because it claims to be setting a “sustainable growth” agenda for the 21st century.
Agenda 21 is in fact a global power grab similar to climate-change treaties like the Kyoto Protocol. It uses the imaginary threat of unsustainable growth which allegedly threatens to plunder the planet’s finite resources, like climate change allegedly threatens planetary doom, to impose a liberal wish list of restraints on our freedoms to decide how we live our lives in our pursuit of one of those inalienable rights liberals fear -- the pursuit of happiness.

It’s long past time to tell the United Nations - and all its little despots - to f*** off.
Doesn’t the U.N. control our National Parks already? I say take back our country and let capitalism ring.

And to pack their frickin’ suitcases (full of US cash?) and head for Mozambique, the new home for the u.n. Yank the frickin’ welcome mat and be done with these thieves. Oops. Sorry, I musta forgot that they’re “entitled”.
This is one of those initiatives that other states would be wise to get on board.
Agenda 21 is another of a multitude of arrows aimed at the heart of our Free Republic.
There’s lots of talk in Texas about giving the Alamo to the UN as a world heritage site
I would love to see a demolition company raze the UN buildings. We could all go to NY and cheer as it all collapses into a pile of rubble.
Said it many times, kick the UN out of the US. Retain, if possible, membership but no funds to that corrupt bunch of communists.
“There’s lots of talk in Texas about giving the Alamo to the UN as a world heritage site”
Cold day in Hell.
Hmmm. Not sure but I thought it was already a done deal. I’m pretty sure the Everglades have already been designated. I know somebody who isn’t feeling lazy today could easily provide a list of WHS’s.
Just like Agenda 21 is meaningless
Let’s see, Alabama and Texas have told them to pound sand. Any other states ?

The Alamo will not go under UN control
AGENDA 21 PING
For some people, just the designation means "its under the control" of the UN.
Just like Agenda 21 means "its under the control" of the UN.
My post about the Alamo and the UN was merely to ridicule the conspiracy kooks.
Let me tell you a story from many years ago, when Big Bend National Park was listed as a potential World Heritage Site, and Rotary International was promoting Big Bend as a Peace Park with Mexico.
This made a lot of people in Texas mad that Big Bend would be "under the control of the UN". Especially since Big Bend had originally been a state park and Texas gave to the feds in 1942.
Back in the late 80s, Big Bend Ranch came up for sale, and the Park Service was considering buying it to become part of Big Bend. That made Texas even madder, so the state pre-empted the feds and bought Big Bend Ranch to keep the feds from buying it.
The state has never been able to develop it and a lot of people don't even know its there. It has been a big financial drain that gets paid for with hunting and fishing licenses.
