MILLENIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS:
MDGs and what some of the world thinks of Obama: http://blogs.america.gov/obama/2010/09/24/preside…
US EPA http://www.epa.gov/ncer/biodiversity/gsn.html
USAID-MDGs http://www.usaid.gov/our_work/mdg/
American support for MDGs: http://www.america.gov/st/develop-english/2010/Se… http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2010/0… http://fpc.state.gov/documents/organization/14879… http://www.state.gov/s/gwi/rls/rem/2010/146926.ht… http://www.mcc.gov/pages/activities/activity/mdgs http://www.mcc.gov/documents/reports/content-0831… http://www.state.gov/r/pa/plrmo/2010/147211.htm http://geneva.usmission.gov/2010/08/02/mdgs-us-st… http://www.un.org/partnerships/Docs/BCLC_Agenda.p… http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/news/ecosoc…
The question which must be asked now is, What are MDGs and where did they originate?
In September 2000, the United States committed to the United Nations Millennium Declaration, which contains goals for reducing poverty and hunger, strengthening access to education, and improving health, including combating major diseases, by 2015. http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ http://www.un.org/esa/desa/desaNews/v13n03/global… http://www.un.org/en/ecosoc/julyhls/pdf/philanthr… http://www.un.org/en/ga/second/64/1210summary.pdf
Lets not forget the Sec Gen Ban Ki-Moon:
“I had an opportunity of meeting Senator John Kerry yesterday in Poznan and I was very much encouraged by meeting him. He is going to be the next Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate and he assured me that, as next Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, he will fully cooperate with the United Nations. And also it is my expectation that, again, the new Administration will be much more actively engaged with the United Nations, on climate change, the Millennium Development Goals, and many other major United Nations issues” http://www.un.org/apps/sg/offthecuff.asp?nid=1235
Healthcare MDGs:
Our laws don’t apply:
“US Healthcare Laws 2010: The UN healthcare plans are not subject to US Healthcare Laws. Therefore the UN is not changing the maximum age for covered dependents. However, this request will be brought to the attention of the Health and Life Insurance Committee in preparation for July 2011 renewals. Currently, the UNHQ plans cover children until 31 December of the year they reach 25. We are working with our carriers to ensure that their customer service representatives are providing our staff members and retirees with the correct information.”
From this: http://www.un.org/Depts/oppba/accounts/insurance/ http://www.un.org/wcm/content/site/chronicle/cach…
“USA: The commitments detailed in this document build on important recent efforts,
notably President Obama’s Global Health Initiative (GHI), a $63 billion initiative to
help partner countries save lives and achieve sustainable health outcomes.”
P12 from this report: http://www.un.org/sg/hf/global_strategy_commitmen…

They don't see the inherent tendency of governments to become more corrupt and tyrannical over time, if unchecked. It may stem from the wrong notion that mankind is inherently good, contrary to history and Bible doctrine.

While we shouldn't spend a lot of effort courting liberals, 'big government' conservatives are much more winnable due to their understanding that power corrupts human nature.

Everyone has different opinions of what is freedom and the best laws they should live under. Why jam everyone into a single container where we might not all fit. Some people are squares and they fit in square holes while other people are circles and fit in circular holes. You can't jam any of them into hole they ain't meant to fit in.

I absolutely agree that the argument should always be about freedom and liberty. The people of each state are free to govern themselves as they see fit, without fear of reprisal from someone in some distant place that has no clue. The problem, of course, is human nature, particularly applied to politics, to control and influence everything.

That being said, "Tenther" philosophy is the most coherent way to transcend party politics by focusing on individual liberty within the constitutional context.

Its so much more fun to have our local issues get debated in congress and on prime time cable television! I jokes!! I jokes!! Frankly, I don't know why we continue to bother with state government. All they do is get in the way of national unity. Oh, sorry, I was reminising about the good 'ol days in Russia.
