3 Candidates For Global Government

Goodbye America...


[By Henry Lamb, World Net Daily | Saturday, 15 March, 2008.]
The Revolutionary War was all about establishing the independence of, and bestowing national sovereignty upon, the United States of America. The U.S. Constitution created a system of limited government that championed individual freedom, which produced the most prosperous and productive civilization the world has ever known. This unique position in the world is rapidly waning. The next presidential election will surely accelerate the rate of descent into global mediocrity.

Barack Obama, the current Democrat front-runner, is a globalist of the first sort. His recent legislative proposal (S. 2433) is ample evidence. The legislation would comply with the U.N.'s recommendation that the U.S. commit 0.7 percent of GDP to the U.N. for relief of global poverty. The United States already gives far more aid to other nations than any country on earth. The U.N., however, thinks this is not enough, and that the U.S. should nearly triple its giving. Obama agrees. And he agrees that the U.N. is the mechanism through which U.S. tax dollars should flow.

Hillary Clinton, author of "It Takes a Village," has a clear history of promoting the U.N. and even world government. She went out of her way to congratulate Walter Cronkite upon his receipt of the 1999 Norman Cousins Global Governance Award from the World Federalist Association. Cronkite told the group:

"It seems to many of us that if we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict, we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government. … To do that, of course, we Americans will have to yield up some of our sovereignty."

Hillary appeared at this gathering by remote TV to applaud Cronkite for not only "telling it like it is," but for "telling us how it could be."

John McCain is reaching out for the green vote by promising to impose some sort of U.N.- approved, Kyoto-type global warming remedy, despite the growing evidence that manmade carbon dioxide has little or nothing to do with climate change. He is also a proud promoter of NAFTA and other so-called "free-trade" agreements that trade only American prosperity for mounting deficits. He was an open-borders advocate, until he realized his position was a brick wall between him and the presidency. Now he says border security must be first, before granting amnesty to more than 12 million illegal aliens.

Regardless of which of the three candidates the voters choose, the next president will take the nation into the global village, not as a sovereign nation in pursuit of national excellence, but as a nation seduced by the U.N.'s idea of sovereign equality under its supreme authority.
