Is this our new American flag? Will drastic controls on the US economy, dreamed up by Greens, be wrapped in the baby blue banner of the United Nations? Will we all be saluting--and more to the point, obeying--some global pollution-crat?
Folks, we are coming close to the day of reckoning here. The next President, whoever he or she might be, is going to face some enormous pressure to go along and get along with the rest of the world on global warming issues--which means big changes here at home. And I do mean BIG.
Is global warming real? Probably. Is it caused by humans--as opposed to, for example, sun cycles? Maybe. Is it a good idea to let the United Nations determine America's fate? Definitely not!
And yet that's what is happening, in slow-motion: Check out this article in The Washington Post, headlined, "THE IMPERILED PRESIDENCY A Change on Climate/In Bush's Final Year, The Agenda Gets Greener"; the piece by Peter Baker demonstrates how the international bureaucracy, egged on by big chunks of the US government, is tractor-beaming George W. Bush into some sort of Kyoto global warming treaty, in which the United Nations, or some bureaucratic offshoot, makes the big calls.
Bush has been a stumbling block to these Green Globalists--"Greenalists"?--but he won't be president for much longer. And in fact, Bush is so over-extended in Iraq, and now Pakistan, that he no longer has the bandwidth to mind the store here in the US. And so the Post article is full of quotes such as these skid-greasing words from some unknown adviser:
"You could conclude, as this administration has, that you want to be seen ultimately as having evolved and opened some doors and maybe started a glide path to the next administration."
In other words, the Globalist Greens are just waiting for Bush to be shuffled off the stage so that they can enact their agenda with the help of some more pliable president.
As a point of comparison, this is what happened to Great Britain, as it got pulled, slowly but surely, into the clutches of the European Union. The great Margaret Thatcher was a determined "Euroskeptic," but the Eurocrats simply waited her out--two years after she left office, her successor as Prime Minister, a weak Tory named John Major, signed the 1992 Treaty of Maastricht, that cinched the EU clinch on Britain's hard-won freedom and sovereignty. And ever since then, London has had to trim its sails to accommodate the dictates of some pickle-size/banana-shape regulating paper-shuffler in the EU HQ of Brussels.
And it can happen here, only worse, if we are not wide awake as a new generation of even more ambitious would-be world-governors reach to grab control of our economy and society.
The FSC believes that it makes sense to decrease our dependence on foreign oil, and to increase domestic energy production. If we apply good ol' American knowhow, we can figure out how to make various renewable energy sources--everything from solar to wind to nuclear--more viable and cost-effective. And we can probably also continue to use domestic oil, natural gas, and coal, along with new techniques for carbon sequestration (for example, why can't we sequester carbon in the form of solid bricks or boulders, which we could then use to build mountains for recreational purposes? or maybe even a wall?)
But what we must not do, ever, is sign a draconian global warming treaty that is administered by some world body to our own disadvantage relative to our economic competitors, such as China and India. If we do so, we will de-industrialize America, while those other countries continue to industrialize. And that seesaw action--us going down, them going up, under the watchful eye of some globauthority--is a formula for impoverishment and defeat.
Repeat: impoverishment and defeat. Which is to say, the end of our prosperity, the end of our freedom, and the end of sovereign identity as an independent nation.
