Freedom is not given to us by the sacrifice of our ancestors.

We are "endowed by our CREATOR with certain unalienable RIGHTS." Liberty (freedom) is one of those rights given me by the CREATOR.

American Commonwealth of Nations sounds pretty kewl.

[thinktwice]

The UN is a marxist/dictator protection society -- the time has come to replace it with those nations willing to form an Alliance in Freedom, with all such nations having a Bill of Rights substantially matching that of the United States of America.

Saddam would argue, of course, that he is elected, therefore a free country. *sigh*

France would demand their entry into the Alliance.

France of course would have to be admitted into the union based on its history of fighting for freedom. Which, im afraid to report, is not good.

We've all heard the New World Order, tin-foil type rantings from various groups and assorted individuals. Many of those arguments are pretty far-fetched, to say the least...especially when you take a look at the list of possible suspects that could be the "NWO" that is preparing to establish itself. Let's take a look at them, in no particular order:

The European Union (EU)- Historically, these neighboring nations have never been able to play nicely with each other. And since history has a nasty habit of repeating itself, they are not likely to be able to glue themselves together into anything that could possibly turn into the One-World boogyman, unified currency or not.

Warsaw Pact: As Dr McCoy from Star Trek would say "It's worse than that, he's dead, Jim!" This club turned to dust when the Soviet Union collapsed. Cross them off the list, too.

The United Nations: This, until the past few months, was the most likely candidate. Lots of countries are part of it and most of them lean socialist/marxist. The problem with the UN possibly becoming a NWO is that it, as a whole is, well...incompetent. Face it, this organization if too lethargic, self-important and unable to elect anyone even remotely threatening as it's leader. Kofi Annan...please! The average Brownie-Scout troup has stronger leadership. And aside from just being run by half-wits, it's structure doesn't lend itself to swift (or competent) decision making. The debacle over Iraq will be it's downfall.

Doesn't leave many other candidates, does it? There very well could be a New World Order someday, but the UN isn't going to be it. My speculation is that if one is to come (a BIG if), it will be built from the gutted remains of the UN. Nature abhors a vaccuum, and when the UN collapses, there will be a big space to fill. Let's be careful what we fill it with.

bttt - great post.

[rmlew]

Do we really want a powerful world government to enfoce "rights?"
I sincerely, doubt that any new UN would be the US writ large. Rather it would be of the Euro-socialist model. How lo0bng before we are sanctioned for not having a proper welfare state?
