The U.N. will Design Your Next Motorcycle

Hold on a sec there....

Before we join hands and break into "we are the world", let's ask ourselves how control of commerce from a small, unelected, global consortium is good for us.

We see the worst in this because we know that underlying all the one-world talk is the unescapable conclusion that we surrender our sovreignity. These are the same people that are pushing for world-wide gun registration. These is the same orginization that vilifies the U.S. for fanciful environmental destruction fabrications such as global warming, and then seeks unconstitutional control over U.S. citizens and property to cure the alleged "crisis".

By the way, how exactly do european citizens "tolerate" HP limits? What exactly will they do if they decide not to "tolerate" them anymore? Boycott new motorcycle purchases? Given that the limit is currently at 100HP, that is not a very palatable option for someone with a 1992 katana 600. However, new that they've set the limit at 100, kibbles to bits says that 90HP will be the next step. Socialistic societal engineering is always easier when done in slow motion---i.e. liberalism.

When you can't beat 'em, join 'em....

"We are the world, we are the children....."

All the judicial activist, impeachable commerce clause rulings in the world don't change the fact that imposing national (or world, for that matter) standards on motorcycles has nothing to do with the act of transporting and selling them. This is simply another case of the judiciary usurping the freedom of the people via some mystical concept in the "commerce" clause. Once again, Madison will tell you in the Federalist Papers that these clauses DO NOT give the fed unlimited power over everything. Think back to logic 101: that would negate the rest of the constitution.

You make no legitimate argument for relinquishing control of our sovereignity to a global orginization. "Evolve past where we are now"? That's a highly vague, undefinable concept at best. Let's look at where the globalisation we have participated in has gotten us so far: less freedom. Maybe you don't want to be free. Fine. Whatever. Freedom, however, is the most cherished concept and principle in this country. More important than ANYTHING. More important than health care, education, welfare, feeding starving children, the environment, ANYTHING. What is life without freedom? Give me liberty, or give me death!

Hey, I'm not arguing with you there.....

I've no love for the WTO either. They can suck on the same rotten egg as the U.N. (although they're not the ones telling our troops what to do and where to do it, that would be the U.N.)

In regards to the constitution, you present the same tired argument that every liberal does: the Constitution is only written for white people. That is patent B.S. Nowhere is it written in the Constitution that "these truths are self-evident, and only pertain to white people". Millions of succesful black, hispanic, and especially asian people can testify to that. (Funny how asians never complained about their civil rights. They just came over, pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and started slamming and jamming.)

What you are really saying is that the constitution doesn't benefit them because it doesn't say that you can take money from rich white people and give it to those that aren't both rich and white. Just as it shouldn't. Government-sanctioned stealing is still stealing. Taking my money and giving it to someone else is theft, and it reduces my freedom. Those are socialistic ideas, and entirely incompatible with freedom. If I am forced to give the fruits of my labor to someone else, I am a slave.

Unfortunately for those concerned about freedom, the government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always count on the support of Paul. Thus the cycle continues.
