Wow, the Heritage Foundation's blog, The Foundry, is a parade of far-right wild-eyed fears and hates. One of the recent posts is "The Real Danger of World Government":
[T]he greatest danger of a left-leaning Obama administration may be the danger of capitulation to a new world government.
Damn, it seems like the danger has been the same ever since the movie Red Dawn came out. Before.
In the past, “One World Government” has been seen as a rallying cry
of a fringe group, not something that many in the mainstream would
either fear or desire. But, suddenly today it is on the lips of world
leaders.
The proof? A single quote from an advisor to the President of France. Q.E. fucking D, as they say.
[T]he financial crisis was not caused by a lack of international
regulation. Financial crises in the past have tended to occur more due
to intervention than due to lack of regulation, and each of the banks
that failed in this crisis was regulated by at least one country. ...
Yes, this proves regulation is bad, not that the regulation was badly done. Of course.
These leaders want not only to
abandon capitalism as we know it,
but they want to force these ideas upon all countries by regulating
companies at the international level. This kind of anti-market world
governance would not make peace more likely, nor would it make free
trade more possible or financial crises less frequent.
It's the end of capitalism as we know it! And I feel fine.
Man, it must be nice to a right-wing nutcase and know if you play your cards right someone, somewhere will give you a job spewing your insane theories.
