Key points:
"While the term 'sovereignty' has acquired many, often inconsistent, definitions, Americans have historically understood it to mean our collective right to govern ourselves within our Constitutional framework.
Today’s liberal elite, by contrast, sees sovereignty as something much more abstract and less tangible, and thus a prize of less value to individual citizens than it once might have been."
...and:
"... For the authors and signatories of A Plan of Action, sovereignty is simply an abstraction, a historical concept about as important today as the “sovereigns” from whose absolute rights the term originally derived. That is not the understanding of the U.S. Constitution, which locates the basis of its legitimacy in 'we the people,' who constitute the sovereign authority of the nation.
'Sharing' sovereignty with someone or something else is thus not abstract for Americans. Doing so by definition will diminish the sovereign power of the American people over their government and their own lives, the very purpose for which the Constitution was written. This is something Americans have been reluctant to do. Now their reluctance may have to take the form of more concerted action against 'responsible sovereignty' if its onward march is to be halted or reversed. Our Founders would clearly understand the need."
And we are much endangered by this horrid and reckless disregard for America's best interests that the Obama policy doctrine displays.
I have read of this in several places. It is truly treasonous, but they are going to get away with it. At the same time these people are trying to criminalize President Bush's actions! BB
