With the nomination of Harold Hongju Koh, the Dean of Yale Law School, as the Legal Adviser for the State Department, President Barack Obama is putting a world government team in place under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The other key appointment was Anne-Marie Slaughter, the dean of Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, as Director of Policy Planning at State. Slaughter wrote the 2004 book, A New World Order, and believes in an international system dominated by the U.N. and other global institutions and networks.
Some conservatives in the media have been pointing out that Koh has extremely radical views that seem to subordinate U.S. laws and the U.S. Constitution to so-called international law. Some say he even would allow the application of Islamic Shariah law in the U.S. But the conservative media focus on Koh’s controversial and disputed comments about Shariah miss the point.
Based on his public statements, one has to conclude that Koh believes in a world government financed by global taxes. ....
Koh’s acknowledged mentor was Harvard Law Professor and international lawyer Louis B. Sohn, who was not only a key author of the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), now waiting for Senate ratification, but offered a detailed proposal to transform the United Nations into a world government in his book, World Peace Through World Law. ....
Sohn said that he wanted this world government to maintain hundreds of thousands of troops, military bases, and be armed with nuclear weapons. The purpose, he said, would be to disarm “each and every nation and to deter or suppress any attempted international violence.” This “world authority” would also require a “United Nations Revenue System,” drawing taxes from “each nation” of the world, he said.

I think I need to PUKE!
That’s about all there is left to do these days after one major hit after another from these commies!
“For the saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanished liberty is that it was lost because its possessors failed to stretch forth a saving hand while yet there was time.” - Justice George Sutherland (1938)
I share you revulsion, but that is not where my reactions end.
Long ago I got over the urge to Puke, but I have a stronger urge that I am suppressing for now.
Yes, they will turn on him and they will be led by the Blue Dog Democrats. The Blue Dogs will support Obama so long as that support does not put their own re-election in danger. When it does, they will turn on him.
It’s more than disgusting.
I’d like to throttle the 52% of voters that didn’t have a clue that this was coming. I don’t think they even see it yet. The dawn may come with silly things like increased tobacco taxes but I’m afraid most are politically ignorant and intellectually lazy.
They may wake up when they figure out that Obama is going to keep the estate tax, that was supposed to end in 2010, at 45%, plus all the other tax cuts under Pres. Bush. Not only that he is going to increase them. I don’t care what he says, watch what he does.
He added the estate tax as a ‘foot note’ in the last bill.
He is sneaky and creepy.
So if Obambi is not a US citzen he can become the head goon at the UN.
Sounds like Hillary has head goon locked up.
She actually has some experience doing things in a dysfunctional operation(US Senate) so she might be very effective over the UN.
Obama, on the other hand, is more a wrecking ball sized pinball. Bashing this that and the other in no predictable pattern. Subject to very little outside influence.
Blue helmets stand out on the battlefield. But let’s not tell them.
