It all boils down to this: S.2433 is a threat to liberty. Period. That is why the post was made to begin with, and if you can’t understand that, then you have no idea the perilous times we are living in, nor can you comprehend the fact that politicians regardless of party are stealing our liberties to advance their own political agendas.

Abraham Lincoln once said that the government shouldn’t tear one man’s house down to build another man a smaller house. Think about that for a minute.

Isn’t there pressure to do more around the world to help AIDS countries?

Doesn’t the US spend incredible amount on middle east peace initiatives and economic incentive?

Like I said, you must come to grips with the fact that you have a different view than others in the country in which you share.

My challenge to you is twofold. I not only challenge you to realize that there are competing views which contrast to yours in this country, but also figure out what those views are.

Based on what you wrote above, I garanteee you will find your views alone don’t sum up America.

Obama is courting a specific constituent, and not you

American in not a homogeneous or monolithic place.

Americans (and people in general) are more likely to give when they’re taxed less. And direct giving to charitable organizations (or — gasp! — people themselves) has a lower overhead in “administrative fees” that you’ll see with ANY government operation, let alone the UN. If the corrupt oil-for-food program taught us anything, it’s that the UN is a cesspool of corruption.

Now if you want to give money to the UN, then you go ahead and write them a check. But no one should be FORCED to give.

And I assume you are okay with disarming US citizens of their guns, putting US citizens on trial in front of an international court, and throwing our parental rights away? Does our sovereignty mean nothing to you?

Now, there is a difference between spending money for a senseless cause – a war where lives are lost, and spending money for a worthwhile cost, where lives are saved.

I think you just don’t get it.
