I have never believed that there is a secret United Nations plot to take over the US. I have never seen black helicopters hovering in the sky above Montana. But, for the first time in my life, I think the formation of some sort of world government is plausible.
A “world government” would involve much more than co-operation between nations. It would be an entity with state-like characteristics, backed by a body of laws.
Geoffrey Blainey, an eminent Australian historian, has written: “For the first time in human history, world government of some sort is now possible.”
Barack Obama... In his book, The Audacity of Hope, he argued that: “When the world’s sole superpower willingly restrains its power and abides by internationally agreed-upon standards of conduct, it sends a message that these are rules worth following.”
The importance that Mr Obama attaches to the UN is shown by the fact that he has appointed Susan Rice, one of his closest aides, as America’s ambassador to the UN, and given her a seat in the cabinet.
A taste of the ideas doing the rounds in Obama circles is offered by a recent report from the Managing Global Insecurity project, whose small US advisory group includes John Podesta... Strobe Talbott, the president of the Brookings Institution, from which Ms Rice has just emerged.
The MGI report argues for the creation of a UN high commissioner for ...
These are the kind of ideas that get people reaching for their rifles in America’s talk-radio heartland. Aware of the political sensitivity of its ideas, the MGI report opts for soothing language.

As long as they're Obama's people out actively fighting against the Constitution and our way of life, I'm cool with the military doing what needs to be done.
“They can’t, won’t, ain’t gonna happen, never will.”
Never deny the power of a heavy handed government!
It came across as an endorsement, and since you have been here since 2003, it seemed out of place.
We were not created to be a democracy, but a republic.
“They did it because...communities (large, small, local, global) must be organized.”
They set it up to be, as Glenn Beck put it, just this side of anarchy. Basically to give access to national defense and a court system. Not this abomination we have now.
Imagine if all the world were like what the founders envisioned -- that wouldn't be bad, would it? It would be global government...but of course it would be a long row to hoe to get there, and I expect the Kingdom will come by then.
See, this is the pickle we are in: it is inevitable, even if everything we see tells us it's going to be a disaster. We have to fight the good fight all the more.
Not only is world government plausible it is probable as it is the prime directive of most of the folks promoted into any sort of political power.
This is true - what I said - at the risk of getting accused of wearing a tin foil hat.
I will state that some of them may have very hard to see writing on them, some have appeared to have nothing on them.
Global Government is absurd, and not at all what the “founding fathers” envisioned. They left England, because they had very different ideas about God, worship and freedom.
If you look at various countries, religions, customs and beliefs, then you know ALL could not remain harmonious under a “one size fits all” umbrella. It isn’t possible, and shouldn’t be expected to work.
In fact, when they try to force this... you will see the war to end all wars, and a return of the true Messiah, with the Armies of Heaven behind him, in indestrucable bodies, and that’s why Jesus wins.
I agree with your conclusion, obviously. But I think the point is being missed.
Why will they try to enforce it, if it's not inevitable?
And if you believe the Revelation, how can you believe the building of a world government isn't inevitable?
If there is a global government, you can bet the first 50 years of it will be plundering former citizens of the USA for the sake of global equity. Just watch.
Yeah, I think its funny that folks that claim a one-world government is inevitable because of religious aspects don’t take into consideration that what sets off Armageddon is a global conflict.
I believe it is inevitable (as in God’s will), however I don’t support it, and will fight it, and hope it’s not in my lifetime! (AKA: We in the US never subscribe to such an event).
Liberty is either growing or its dying.
“don’t give a rip about other people.”
Why is it my business how other people live their lives? Why is it my business to pay for someone else? Why is it their business to pay for me? I care about me and mine. Its called responsibility. I am not responsible for anyone else. I care for my family and friends. Nothing more.
see, this is the funny thing about “liberals” ...they claim to care about other people...so much so that they are going to tell these other people how to live their lives...voila’! Tyranny...
You a conservative, are ya? Bet you have pictures of the founders hanging on your office wall, right?
So tell me, do you think you'd be able to sit around and say "screw everyone but me" if they didn't sacrifice their fortunes and lives to give you the privilege?
Bet you read the bible, too. You know you're quoting Cain the Murderer when you say, "I ain't my brother's keeper."
And who said anything about "paying" for anything or anyone.
Get some oxygen for that sandpit your head's buried in.
Just freaking OY!
