RSSAmerica in 2016
Gene Lalor | May 21, 2009
I’m taking bets on the probability of whether the United States will still be a free and independent nation at the end of Obama’s first term. I think it’s a toss-up at this point, 50-50 odds. Should he win a second term and hold onto the presidency through 2016, it’s a no contest. We won’t have a chance.
It would be a sucker’s bet anyway since the handwriting is all over the walls and all over the Obama administration and anyway it’s supposed to be immoral to bet on a sure thing.
By 2012, America’s national integrity will have been so undermined by internationalism, at the bottom of which is always the ungentle hand of the United Nations, that we will be gasping for air; by 2016, our nation will be unrecognizable.
Can we all join together and say, “National hari kari?”
One report reinforcing that pessimistic view is this laughable but all-too-factual account: http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=48360.
Harold Koh, 
President Obama’s nominee to be top political advisor to Hillary Clinton’s State Department, has contrived what superficially is a novel idea, namely that the United States courts, including SCOTUS, incorporate “international laws and customs into domestic law, whether through the legislative process or through federal courts’ use of international law in interpreting the Constitution of the United States.”
Oh, really? Isn’t that just a peachy keen idea?
Koh is another of the muddle-headed aparatchiks that Obama so loves and who is so enamored of European and other international life, laws, and tribunals that they put to shame the legal thought in America.
Lest Harold believes he was proposing a unique idea, sorry to disillusion him but his partner in crime, SCOTUS Justice Stephen Breyer offered a similar proposal some years ago: http://abajournal.com/news/breyer_natl_legal_systems_are_finding_common_ground/
Try to keep up, Harry!
Their subversive and operative thinking is that our legal system is so infested with nationalism that America should scrap 220 years of our heritage and subscribe to the legal philosophies of those who know better than we as to what’s best. We should therefore become legal lapdogs for the far more urbane and intelligent systems of France, Germany, and maybe even India, Tazakhistan, and Zimbabwe.
True, many of American jurists’ opinions of the past few decades suggest that liberal-leftist judges have been more concerned with their interpretations of social justice, civil rights, etc. than they have been influenced by the meaning and intent of our Constitution and laws but this would be a giant leap backward even for most of them.
Koh’s leap toward “transnational law” would be a leap into an international cesspool and I wish him the best of luck doing the breast stroke. As for America’s adopting his precepts, I wish him only his deserved ignominy.
Why America should go that route Koh doesn’t say, aside from the implication that those transnationals should dictate how Americans live, what we should believe and hold dear, and what should be considered legal and illegal.
They must know better than we ignoramusi, Mr. Koh?
“The transnationalists believe that U.S. courts can and should use their interpretive powers to promote the development of a global legal system, while the nationalists tend to claim that U.S. courts should limit their attention to the development of a national system,” said Koh.
How dastardly and how parochial of American twits to think we should concern our beady, mini-brains with what’s good for our country and our citizens when we could be devoting our time and treasury to the betterment of nations which would slobber over the prospect of reducing American lives to the level of Bangladeshians.
Good grief, as Charlie Brown would say.
Should I ever have the opportunity of a face-to-face with either President Obama or Mr. Koh I would ask them if they appreciate having a pot to pee in instead of a fetid trench. I would ask them if they want America to move on or to retrogress into a Third World nation.
Finally, I would ask them if they believed the United States, despite its flaws, was the greatest nation on the planet.
If they disagreed, I would suggest they move and I would happily pay their airfare to Bhaka, the Bangladesh capital, or to Harare, the Zimbabwe capital city, or to Paris, Berlin, or any other European capital.
My one stipulation would be that they remain there, indefinitely.
