My name is Hillary, I've never held a real job in my life, and I say it's mythology!"

(CNSNews.com) – The Senate Foreign Relations Committee began the latest round in a decades-long fight to ratify the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), known as the Law of the Sea Treaty, with supporters in the Obama administration and the military squaring off against Republican opponents on Wednesday.
“I am well aware that this treaty does have determined opposition, limited, but nevertheless quite vociferous,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the committee. “And it’s unfortunate because it’s opposition based in ideology and mythology, not in facts, evidence, or the consequences of our continuing failure to accede to the treaty.”
The treaty's opponents include Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), who criticized a provision that would mandate that the United States pay a portion of oil, gas, and seabed mining royalties conducted in deep ocean water – beyond 200 nautical miles from U.S. shores – to the international board that governs the treaty.
Inhofe said United States could possibly lose billions of dollars in royalties as oil companies begin drilling farther and farther offshore.

Rats have no ability to evaluate facts, look at evidence, or gain insight from anyplace other than their rectums. The Clintons are and have always been UN whores.
The beginning of the end, Obamacare and now this, and our military leaders are supporting this scam.
It's opposition based in ideology and mythology
Past time for the UN building to disappear
Ever notice that her opponents are never just wrong, they are evil.
Since, mythlogy is good enough for Liz Warren it is good enought for me.
Oh yes. And now we think the same of them.
"Despite not having ratified the treaty, the United States accepts all but the International Seabed Authority (ISA) provisions as binding international law, including the claim to development rights up to 200 nautical miles offshore."
Oh.
Why should some international board get royalties? What is their purpose, 200 miles offshore, aside from sitting on their dead fat butts and collecting money, because they like playing with other peoples’ money, and like having their lobster, filet, and fine wine funded by the serfs?
If she’s for it, then obviously it’s a very, very, Bad Idea (tm)
