They would like to see U.S. soverignty and our Constitution abolished. In other words they would like to see the U.S. become part of the lowest common denominator, i.e. the of the rest of the U.N. They believe that the only way to eliminate religious discrimination is to eliminate religion itself. They do not believe in American exceptionalism, but rather believe that our claim to such exceptionalism is, of itself, the cause of the world's problems.

Too many of the occupants of the U.S. (I won't call them citizens) have this idea that the government is the answer to all their problems and that the government should see to it that all occupants of the U.S. have all of their needs (and desires) met. The way to accomplish this goal of course is to confiscate the wealth of "the rich", who of course are defined as anyone with a few dollars more than the person promoting such confiscation. There is one politcal party that panders to those who feel this way, support their beliefs and promises to provide all they desire in exchange for their votes.

The funny thing is that same political party has been making those same promises for years, buying votes with them and yet the plight of those they pretend to represent remains unchanged. And yet those doing all that promising continue to grow richer.

Just consider the following:

The UN has approved the doctorine of the 'Responsibility to Protect' and been instrumental in establishing international courts like the ICJ and the ICC which allow international standards to superceed the laws and courts of each nation.

Discussions are under way within WHO committees to establish global taxes on both individuals and the more wealthy nations to raise funds for global social programs. (Fox News online Jan 22,2010).

With these trends towards international standards that superceed national laws, President Sarkozy's point is particularly important.The UN has almost 200 members. Far less than 1/2 are stable democracies. The majority of those nations have different cultures and values than the US. Our own continent has a mere 3 votes in the General Assembly.

The question arises 'Will the US soon be faced with the same situation that exists in the EU where EU law superceeds national law?' Will our values and laws be burried in a global voting system? A recent case in the German Supreme Court decision (March 2, 2010 ) illustrates the kind of problems that can arise with mandated rather than consentual international law. The German court just ruled that a new EU law on survelience is incompatible with the German Constitution.
