Barack Obama Will Shackle America to the UN and Global Poverty
Barack Obama’s amerikka bears no relation to the America of our founding fathers. As we approach the Fourth of July there sits on Capital Hill Hussein Obama’s Global Poverty Tax, a piece of legislation that makes a mockery of the Boston Tea Party and about every principle upon which this nation was founded.
Obama’s grand theme is to spread America’s wealth to the world’s poor, as the onetime community organizer from the streets of South Chicago goes global.
The species of hope that Barack Obama preaches is a first cousin of disappointment. He speaks to his followers as though they are victims, and it resonates with them because victimhood is a latent element of their collective self-image. Most of the younger ones in his audiences face historically unprecedented educational and vocational opportunities. Within the reasonable grasp of their individual initiatives is a future that is the envy of most of the world’s youth. Yet they look longingly for someone from the government to offer them hope.
He says, “It’s not too late to claim the American dream,” and they cheer wildly, and some even cry.
Don’t they know that the American dream isn’t a wish granted by a politician, or an entitlement from the government? Do they need a political seer to tell them what to hope for, and dream of, because they are unable to find it for themselves? (Source)
And that is how Obama weakens America. No, that’s how he eviscerates America’s very spine from her body. He summons forth from each citizen not the warrior, but the whiner, not the innovator, but the complainer, the wannabe dreamers with neither the will nor spine to capture their dreams on their own.
Can you imagine what this country would be like were America’s pioneers made of the same moth eaten material as Obama and his febrile supporters? They would have never made it inland from the east coast, let alone successfully execute a war against England and go on to building the greatest nation ever to be established on this planet. I can just see the Obama settlers waiting around for the government to build them a freaking road West and guarantee safe passage while they try to talk nice to some savage Indians (Yes, boys and girls, Indians could be very very nasty too) who just burned their houses down.
Obama supporters would not have had a Boston Tea Party, but a Boston Pity Party.
But let’s put aside the pilfering of our hard earned dollars by this glassy eyed socialist; “One estimate is 0.7% of gross national product, or an additional $845 billion over 13 years in addition to existing foreign aid expenditures.” Let’s look at the very real threat to American sovereignty that this travesty introduces.
These goals include a “standing peace force” (i.e. a U.N. standing army), a “U.N. Arms register” of all small arms and light weapons, “peace education” covering “all levels from preschool through university,” and “political control of the global economy.” The goals call for implementing all U.N. treaties that the United States has never ratified, all of which set up U.N. monitoring committees to compromise American sovereignty. (Virtual “Global Poverty Act” Tea Party)
and…
By adopting the Millennium goals in 2000, the U.N. escalated its demands to impose international taxes. Specifically, the Millennium called for a “currency transfer tax,” a “tax on the rental value of land and natural resources,” a “royalty on worldwide fossil energy projection — oil, natural gas, coal,” “fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for airplane use of the skies, fees for use of the electromagnetic spectrum, fees on foreign exchange transactions, and a tax on the carbon content of fuels.”
It doesn’t bother U.N. sycophants that most U.S. handouts go into the hands of corrupt dictators who hate us and vote against us in the U.N., and that only 30% of our foreign aid ever reaches the poor. U.N. bureaucrats accuse the U.S. of being “stingy” in its handouts to underdeveloped countries.
There is much more to the Millennium goals than merely extorting more money from U.S. taxpayers. The goals set forth a comprehensive plan to put the United States under U.N. global governance.Obama’s 0.7% Solution For Poverty Gets Pass From Senate Republicans

What are the Millennium Development Goals
Sphere: Related Content
The Global Poverty Act of 2007, simply states: “To require the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.”
Currently, U.S. global development policies and programs are scattered across 12 departments, 25 different agencies, and almost 60 government offices. Increased coordination is sorely needed to be effective.
The Global Poverty Act (not TAX), S.2433, is an authorizing piece of legislation which sets a directive for those departments under the Secretary of State to create a plan to address the first United Nations Millennium Development Goal.
This bill is NOT an appropriating piece of legislation that would direct any new funds (or global taxes) to United States foreign assistance. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that this legislation would cost less than $1 million to implement.
S.2433 does not prejudge what the strategy should be, only that a strategy should be created to more effectively distribute the foreign aid the United States already provides the developing (and developed) world. The Global Poverty act does not subjugate the United States to the will of the United Nations. The strategy would apply only to those programs administered by the United States and the strategy would have complete Congressional oversight.

I’m sorry but your links simply don’t support your denials. They simply are more propaganda. I suspect you know no more than I do on the particulars, nor does anyone else who may be researching it, which seems to be the intent of Obama and the tools who signed on. In fact every report (from far more credible sources than you offer) I read cites the same numbers that you attempt to refute.
Why all the subterfuge if it were legislation that would be well received by America at large, as opposed to just American leftists.
It is inextricably linked with The Millennium Project in every report cited. From the Millennium Project web site:
Is Jeffrey Sachs lying too Margaret?
I am an American. I do not live, nor do I want to live “in the common house of the entire human family”. I want to live in the sovereign USA and I want my taxes spent in this country, on our people, on our infrastructure, weaponry and industry. America and her private citizens have given, of their own free will, far more than this ungrateful world deserves. But I suppose you haven’t noticed that throwing money at poverty simply doesn’t work - unless of course you are employed by the many NGOs and “Christian” groups who profit from this crap. Would that be you Meredith? Must suck to spend your time Googling for references to this monstrosity and cut and paste your useless propaganda. I won’t wish you any luck in your parasitic mission.
Oh, I added the link to your blog to your comment. Why try to hide your “activist” status honey. No one here would mistake you for anything else.
i’d suggest you turn off you a m radio- and stop listening to your father.
Dear silly Billy, please understand that those Americans who stand by their convictions do not do so on the behest of stranger’s voices on AM radio or by reading “talking points” distributed from some NGO or political entity.
Indeed, Americans, real ones, usually derive a love of country through experience - that which is accrued over many years - of living in and comprehending the fragility and sacredness of her greatest gift; freedom. The exercise of free will, the ability to fall or rise according to one’s own ambitions.
They come to revere the freedom that folks like you threaten to extinguish with your suffocating insidious platitudes about “greater good” - a greater good that somehow can not be achieved by the recipients of such “good” without the coerced largess of those who actually create wealth.
In simple terms, little Billy, Obama and his acolytes, you and your “Meredith”, represent a parasitic breed that bleeds their host through bullying and extortion. What exactly are you folks going to do after you finally bleed the host dry? Guess you’ll have to get a real job then - if there are any left.
RE: “Yes, boys and girls, Indians could be very very nasty too…”
I’m sorry, but I’m afraid you’ve gotten your facts wrong. Everyone knows that the Native Americans were basically a peaceful peoples group, living in harmony with nature. They didn’t pollute or wipe out the species that their very existence depended upon. They had a natural tolerance for everyone and everything, only becoming violent when the white man came to visit death and destruction upon their way of life via disease, guns and material wealth. They didn’t need the white man’s steel knives, his hatchets, guns or blankets - they were doing just fine with stone implements and animals skins. They didn’t need the white mans horses, they walked everywhere and so were very VERY healthy. They had a great tolerance to the weather, and could tell when a blizzard was coming so they could put on an extra layer of animal skins and climb in their shelters.
I think if the noble American savage had only been dealt with in a kinder and more gentle manner we could have integrated ourselves more completely into a workable society that we both could have found satisfaction in. As it is though, the Native American population was devastated. Now their members are forced to live in houses that have modern appliances, buy food at the local grocery store, wear heavily manufactured clothing, use modern medications and engage in modern education. The White race should be ashamed of itself, and give the Native North American population massive amounts of social benefits so that they can regain some level dignity and respect for both themselves and their culture! Shame! Shame! Shame! </sarc>
Well Mr. Rimshotski, You had my blood pressure rising until I saw your /sarc tag.
Good imitation of a victim, though. I guess we’re all going to get fluent in “victim” if the Obamanite wins.
