I definitely agree that the UN presentation is misleading. But that is not what I was saying.

I took exception to his statement regarding Sustainable Development/Agenda21 "promoting sound long-term economies".

Apparently you don’t know the meaning of the phrase “charged with”.

Whew! Insults right off the bat?

Read the links I posted. That is not what they are charged with, unless you think that the communistic Agenda21 is a "sound long-term economic" model.

I can’t believe someone could read that article and think Fred was somehow endorsing what the UN is doing.

You do realize that this article was a hit piece on the UN and all its policies?

I can’t wait for the reaction from Fred when he replies to their outrageous insults. If he is anything like Reagan, (and I think he is), his responses will be something from which we can take great cheer. Reagan could not only defend himself but conservative values as well. I can hardly wait for someone on the scene who can actually engage the leftist enemies and win over the American people in the process.

He was critical of some and laudatory of some.
And naive, at best, on the item I commented on.

I'm sincerely happy and pleased to see someone with your dogged determination digging into all this GANG-GREEN GARBAGE that was part of my inspiration to run for local office in late 1993.

It was this crappola and Hitlery trying to nationalize my life and health insurance industry that caused me to waste 5 of the best years of my life. (1 year running and 1 four year term as a citizen politician)

The thread about Tom McClintock bichin out the CA State Senator Steinberg for usurping the land-use authority that's supposed to remain with the local governments closest to the people REALLY UPSETS ME!!!

Local control in local hands is precisely what the founders of this nation relied upon to keep land-use and schools in proper order, with states having 10th Amendment rights in perpetuity!!!

This UN-American, One Whirled government, New Whirled Odor is enough to gag a maggot!!! It's all very Bush I and Bush II and Schwartzeneggeresque and sickening!!! I hate that Republicans are in ANY WAY involved in ANY of these post scum ideology and is yet another reason I've left the GOP in disgust!

If we could ever get a religion, or a political party that didn't develop power mad people in positions of leadership that constantly keep trying to compell fellow members into this asinine, bogus, unconstitutional crappola... I might finally be induced to join up and giddy up and work out with 'em. But as it is... fergedaboutit!!!

It was one of the scathing and spot on hit pieces I have seen on the UN. He wasn't praising the UN at any point, he was poking fun at it. You seem to have completely misunderstood his points.

What article did you folks read? It certainly wasn’t the one on the top of this page.

I guess they’ve got their undies in a bunch because he gave them some faint praise for some things they do in the last sentence. That’s kind of funny, because Mitt or Rudy would be deathly afraid of saying anything like this. Any of the other candidates except maybe Tom Tancredo would come out as strongly against the UN as Fred did here.

The only praise he gave the UN was the stuff America does.

Thanks, SW. Tom did good stickin’ it to Steinberg.
He definitely sees beyond the horizon.
We need more like him. Lots more.

Always Right—SW is referring to a statement made in the California legislature.
We’ve been fighting the Agenda21 animals for a long time now.

Hey! Instead of instantly and succinctly smacking down the UN's "Sustainable Development" GANG-GREEN GARBAGE, he kinda just let it slide by. That was stuff Clinton, Clinton & Gore, Inc. put out Presidential Orders on whilst Freddie boy was gittin it on in the Senate already and he knows it needs smackin down at ANY opportunity!!!

I won't speak for ccg, but that's what bunched my panties in a really big wad and I explained that pretty concisely if you'll go back and read it instead of getting so defensive of laid-back Senator Freddie's lack of clarity!!!

Again, you seem to have completely misunderstood mine.

“What Would Truman Do?”

I came up with it right after 9/11.

Is this a deal breaker for you re Thompson?

I suspect Thompson won't become a focus for the Democrats until, when and if, he becomes the Publican front runner

I'd say you're pretty much right on. There are a few lefties who are beginning to sense that Fred is a real threat(eg. Bob Beckel), but I think most of them are still assuming it'll be Rudy McRomney. Letterman, for example, is still picking on Romney.

It is amazing to observe the pathological hatred of the left for the very moderate and the very "lame-duckian" George Bush. It makes one wonder what they would do in the face of a true Conservative.

Absolutely not. I just made a comment.

Until Fred declares his positions, how can anybody make a decision?

Just curious. It seemed rather non sequitur.
