This globalism looniness of the President Bushes and President Obama is like fingernails against the chalkboard! Obama seems to want to “spread the wealth” from America to other countries. Unfortunately, while he really wants to tax Americans with the purpose of our Federal government to redistribute the wealth to people in other countries, history has shown that: a.) our government can’t be trusted and is too incompetent to do those tasks that private American citizens and groups should do, and b.) it is the other governments of the other countries who even more can’t be trusted, and whose officials and politicians will make sure that such wealth stays mostly in their pockets, and won’t actually get to the people abroad who are the most needy.
Worse than that, if we get in some kind of “global economic system,” such as with a single “global currency” and a “global central bank,” no longer will there be any right of an individual to one’s own life, liberty and property, because all wealth and means of production will be publicly and collectively owned, which includes people which consists of individuals. There will be no such thing as individual rights and individual liberty, and it will be acceptable for groups and collectives to use and enslave any individual whose life or abilities are deemed useful to the collective.
That is the situation we have in most countries now (and in many ways in the US), and we shouldn’t join any such “global union.”
I hear conservatives preaching the gospel for “free enterprise” and “free market capitalism,” but not enough do I hear about the importance of freedom.

You can’t have free markets without individual freedom and a system that protects our individual rights. We have a Bill of Rights, without which we could not have “free market capitalism,” because the Bill of Rights protects our rights to life, liberty and property, and the “fruits of our labor,” and our prosperity, from government. In other words, freedom creates prosperity–government kills it.
After President Obama speaks to the nitwits, numbskulls, nudniks and nincompoops, and the tyrants, sleazebags and dictators of the United Nations, fresh after his visit with Late Night host David Letterman, perhaps he’ll be invited over to Iran to talk to their late night talk show host, Rafsanjani Carson.
