The silliest part of Brown's ponderous speech was his claim that "a global society" is "advancing democracy widely across the world." In fact, he doesn't even practice democracy in his own country.
Brown refused to allow the British people to vote on whether or not they want to accept the constitution of the European Union. He acquiesced in the plot of the constitution's author, Valery Giscard d'Estaing, to put the EU constitution into effect by calling it a treaty so it did not have to be voted on by the people.
Brown was chicken about the treaty subterfuge and did not permit a photographic record of his participation. He sent his foreign secretary to perform the official treaty signing in front of cameras.
The EU constitution, now called the Treaty of Lisbon, requires all signers to surrender their sovereignty and democracy to unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, Belgium, and judges in Strasbourg, France. The EU constitution takes away England's right to pass its own laws, forces England to surrender more than 60 United Kingdom vetoes of EU decisions, and gives the EU bureaucracy and tribunals total control over England's immigration policy.
Instead of a self-governing nation whose democratic system was developed over centuries, England is now ruled by what former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher called "the paper-pushers in Brussels."
Brown made his globalism speech emphatic by repeatedly invoking the words "New World Order." The New World Order Brown tries to con the United States into accepting would mean taxing Americans for foreign handouts so immense they would make the Marshall Plan look puny, global warming rules to drastically reduce the U.S. standard of living, and putting American workers in a common labor pool with the world's billions who subsist on less than $2 a day.
Gordon Brown invited Americans to march forward to globalism "where there is no path." He's correct that there is no path on which we can expect globalism to lead the United States to a better world; in fact every path toward global government is a surrender of our liberty and our prosperity.
Gordon Brown should go back home and study how Americans refused to accept orders from King George III. |
