Second Amendment: The United Nations is putting the finishing touches on an Arms Trade Treaty that transcends borders and may even trample our Constitutional right to bear arms. Every indication is that the president will sign it.
Like the New Start and Law of the Sea treaties before it, as well as the Kyoto Protocol and Agenda 21, the Arms Trade Treaty being finalized at the U.N. this month is one of those feel-good, can't-we-all-get-along pieces of parchment whose net effect is to accomplish little except to eat away at American sovereignty and freedom.
Just as the world's worst human rights violators sat on and often chaired the U.N. Human Rights Council, Iran, arms supplier extraordinaire to America's enemies, was elected on Saturday to a top position on the United Nations Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty being held in New York. It began July 2 and extends through July 27.
This came right after the same U.N. found Iran guilty of illegally transferring guns and bombs to the murderous Syrian regime of Bashar Assad, currently slaughtering thousands of its own citizens as an impotent U.N. joins the U.S. administration in standing around and watching.
The mindset of the one-worlders preaches that guns cause crime and war and if we only get rid of those otherwise inanimate objects the evil that lurks in the hearts and minds of men will suddenly dissipate. Then we can buy the world a soft drink and sing "Kumbaya."

0bama will never get this treaty thru the Senate, not even in a lame duck session. Let him come out in support of this Tyrannical crap if he wants to, because he will be hammered for it electorally...
As a strategy, this is so stupid. You vote the lesser of two evils. And you continue to struggle. You never get the opportunity to vote non evil candidate. If you think you can collapse the evil system by letting it go evil to the maximum, you are deluded.
Could Egypt get worse? It did. Can Syria get worse? It will. did France get better? Nope. Sit on your hands and Obama wins, the pit we are in just gets deeper. Is Romney going to return us to 1776. No. Can he make things better than what we have now. Yes.
What does the presidential election have to do with the Congress? They're independent and discrete concepts. Further, I don't see Romney as the sort who will help us "stay afloat."
I was backing Bachman or Newt until they dropped outthen Santorum.
By the way, they now all endorse Romney. I guess they are just rinos too.
You said it, I didn't. Frankly, I don't give a crap about what they say anymore.
Who did you support for Pres???
Well, the Republican nomination hasn't yet been decided; if it's not Romney I'll vote it... if it is, then I'm voting for either Tom Hoefling, or Goode.
As for the Republican nomination; I would happily support Gary Johnson for President. {There are others too, but Johnson has the advantage of having been Governor of New Mexico when it was heavily Democrat -- Meaning he knows how to "play ball" on a disadvantage-court.}
I wouldn't mind Ron Paul as: head of the Fed or Sec of Treasury (heads would explode as he dug things up and made them public) or even VP (He'd be president of the Senate in that case, and I don't think he'd let that slide to the Pro Tempore; which I think is Reid).
No; I vote who I think will lead best.
Obama may be an empty suit; but Romney is a windsock-puppet.
You never get the opportunity to vote non evil candidate. If you think you can collapse the evil system by letting it go evil to the maximum, you are deluded.
Hm, where did you see that? I may never get a non-evil candidate; but let me ask this: is there an amount of evil that you would say is too evil?
If so, then why do you disparage me because I deem Romney to be past that limit?
If not, then continue voting for the lesser of two evils; finally you will get to Hitler vs Stalin.
Is Romney going to return us to 1776. No. Can he make things better than what we have now. Yes.
He might have that ability; however, I do not believe that he would do so even if he could.
Don't be so sure; it's 2/3drs of the Senators present.
You're right, but I'm sure the GOP wouldn't slip up that bad...
Speak for yourself.
I don't know about that. The GOP seems dam set on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. (McCain in 2008, Romney in 2012...)
Then there's the "gee golly, we can't do that" --* while kicking a stone*-- act they give when they don't pursue their stated objectives like abortion (not even a token vote or resolution when the Legislative and Executive were theirs), or limited government (from whence came the TSA, the Patriot Act, TARP, the airline bailouts?), or government accountability (look at how lame they've been on Fast & Furious; that is serious stuff: domestic lawbreaking, treaty breaking, unauthorized acts of war, conspiracy, sedition, treason, state sponsored terrorism).
Yeah. The GOP doesn't seem interested in giving reasons to trust them.
Obummer don’t need no stinkin’ Senate to tell him what he can do!!!
And, these are all fine folks who are either single issue voters or don't see and fear the true destruction of our fragile Republic if Mister Obama gets a second term.
I fear very strongly that in an Obama second term, there would be no Rush or FR and our Military would be reduced to near nothing. Willard, for all his faults, is the far, far better alternative.
.
IEDs at U.N. headquarters might be a good start. Run the b@$t@rd$ out!
This isn’t Germany in 1923. It’ll never happen in this country but I would love to see him try to seize dictatorial power through some kind of scheme like that. It’s exactly what we need him to try in fact.
You couldn’t be more wrong.
No military even our own would consider going against an armed civilian force such as we have in the US today.
Well my ancestors were among the 3%, seven of them fought in the Revolutionary War.
“This isnt Germany in 1923. Itll never happen in this country”
It was in 1933 and that was exactly what the Germans said. People dismissed the Communists in Russia prior to the 1917 revolutions. We now have more than 50% in this country getting a government check and less than 50% paying those checks. It is a smaller step to communism than in those prior historical events.
No Sir. From THEIR cold dead hands.
When citizens can no longer protect themselves, Obama's hoodies will overwhelm the police with flash mobs and...voila...martial law is necessary to "protect" us all.
Then Obama will announce that elections must be postponed until such time as he can stabilize the country and return control to the people.;-)
Buh bye, America!
And if Obama thinks the lawful citizens are going to stand still for that line of crap, I have an old bridge to sell him on Adams St and Brooklyn Bridge Blvd.
