I hope Bush has the balls to tell the UN where to shove it.

Me too, but I don't think he'll do anything. We are getting "sustainable development" now from the local planners via HUD via the UN. Lets not forget the UN Agenda 21 protocol that is being adopted nationwide.

We've got to stand up to these UN observers and let our local politicians know they will be voted out of office for even allowing them in the meetings.

The UN and the 165 + other rat infested "nations" may well pass whatever they like. Americans, Brits, Aussies and a few other real nations will not allow that pathetic group to usurp their, Constitution or sovereignty.


Don't believe me? Whatch what happens to McMainiac as he attempts to become president.

Even many brain dead Democrats will balk at that one.

The ultimate purpose of Agenda 21's Sustainable Development is to create one classless global society, living under global budgets in a series of human settlements in harmony with the environment. There, all people, all generations, and all species are equal. There, no disparities exist in the grand global biodiversity. Economically, there are no rich and no poor. Ecologically, human life is not predator against other life forms. Intellectually, mind and reason are not more powerful than urge and appetite. Politically, calm, quiet, dull stasis replaces rapacious, creative progress.

What a crock!

I'm glad we aren't waiting around for Senate Obstructionists to finally approve a UN Ambassador.

So, if I read this right, the UN is picking up from where Joe Stalin left off?

3. The section on human rights calls for "equal participation and representation of men and women in government decision-making bodies." Again, a very nice sentiment but one with a problem. To implement it as the U.N. expects, governments would have to nominate members of Congress. In democracies, however, it is voters rather than governments who choose their representatives -- and they are statistically unlikely to choose a cross section of the population.

In other words, the most sensitive and vital political questions are removed from democratic parliaments and the voters and handed over to an international committee nominated by foreign and often despotic regimes.

If the European Union wants to surrender to the UN so be it, but GW must oppose to the UN document. We don't need foreign committees to govern ourselves.

Too bad its well underway in the United States, and it is in every "free trade" agreement we sign with other "member states".

The Iraqi constitution is a prime example of a UN government.

No American should be dying in a foreign country in order to implement the UN's version of a governmental system.
