World Tyranny

Submitted by Tom Halley (United States), Sep 25, 2002 at 09:37

Sometimes we do not always realize that there are others out there who seem to understand what is going on in world politics. Our nation is the last bastion of the ideal of a democratic republic. That ideal of our founding fathers and our unique Constitution has never fully caught on in the rest of the world. We now find ourselves in the position of facing world forces attempting to isolate us and marginalize our influence on the world stage.

I do not think we should willingly participate with those bodies and organizations plotting and scheming towards our demise. That is why I do not think we need any U.N. approval for defending ourselves.

That is also why I believe we should not waste our resources on defending southern Europe. Let the leftist Europeans do that.
