Regarding international criminal courts, the United States never signed a treaty and if it ever went anti-American, we would IMO just drop out and choose to no longer participate.
Bill Clinton signed on. George Bush came along and allowed eighteen months to pass before he uttered one word about it. By then many of our allies had signed on. And then a few days before it being ratified, Goerge Bush decided to pander as if he had a set, and voiced disapproval and the idea he couldn’t do anything about it.
Now that’s leadership.
The U.N.’s dictate was that any government leader could send a letter of approval. These approvals didn’t have to pass legislatures. They didn’t have to meet any standard other than the top official of a nation having approved. On top of that, only something like 40% of U.N. members had to sign on to ratify the measure.
Not fifty percent, not two-thirds, only 40% had to agree to force the ICC on 100% of the world’s nations.
Now you and other feel that we can opt out any time we like, but you can see how successful that has been with the parent organization. We are loathe to pull out even if the rulings come down against us time after time, in fact almost 100% of the time. Why?
The United States has some fear that withdrawing from this international body will isolate us. We will never pull out of the U.N., the I.C.C., the W.T.O. or any other globalist entity. Our leaders believe that would put us at a disadvantage. And so we are taken apart one brick at a time until we lay in ruins.
And our leaders buy into this. Our leftist democrats do and our RINOs do.
Like I said, I believe that we will have the best court money can buy, when we cease to be a nation. And with the FTAA and the UA on the horizon, that day is nearing.
The WTO is now the final arbiter of our trade, with NAFTA coming in a close second. Soon we’ll have a three nation security agreement, and at least our homeland security will be parceled off to ourside management in part. The FTAA will allow the whole hemisphere to manage our trade. And then the AU will take over the governance in total.
And the republicans will dress up in their best will inaugural ball threads, and toast the new perfection that ends us.
And this will end us, wether we vote in a repubican every four years for every four years or not. That’s the problem.
If we never had another democrat president, and if we controled the congress and senate, the above eventuality would take place anyway.
Is that the eventuality we desire? Of course not. And that being the case, we’re going to have to shake things up a little. Either the republican party turns into the conservative party, or we need to build a dominant second party into one.
Otherwise we’re going to suffer the same fate as all those nations of Europe, whose lights are going out one by one.
