I started off on this big huge pontificating thing that nobody would really be interested in when I realized, "Why am I doing this?"

This is communism trying to find another place to land, that is all. I thought the Mexican official claiming that illegal aliens should be able to vote in Cal. elections was interesting. But I mean really, give me a break!

From what I almost posted:

The United States of America gave the world the concept of ‘Human Rights’ and it is this concept that is being utterly demolished. I did a quick scan of the page and the word ‘rights’ was used at least 2 dozen times. You know how I am about definitions, and this is the problem here. What does this word mean?

--

I noticed that almost all the assertions of 'rights' concerned groups and abstractions, but not individuals. Rights can only apply to living human beings, so all the rest are fallacious.

The only way the rest of the world can conquer the USA is by convincing us that they have the moral high ground, which is what this article is alluding to. We have to ask ourselves, 'do they really have the moral high ground?'

I was going to put a link here to a review of a book on William F. Buckley and how he is really not a conservative, but one of these 'one worlders' that is leading the 'conservatives' in this country down the jaded path to a one world government. It was posted yesterday and already it is gone.

I am not a conspiracy nut but sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. If the American people don't wake up soon, we will find ourselves living forever in a version of Orwell's 1984.

George Bush has already signed legislation that would increase federal spending beyond Clinton's wildest dreams. Now he wants to give money hand over fist to all corners of the globe. This is a conservative Republican't? Where do I go now for options?
