The piss drinking idiots have swallowed what has been poured for them by the big defense contractors who stand to lose a lot of money over this treaty. Few, if any, have actually read the treaty. We know this because they have been making claims about it long before it was available. And during that time they convinced themselves what they "know" is true!
This is actual self-delusion. Willful delusion. Amazing to watch in action.
And the idiot lawmakers who drafted bills to block the treaty...guess who their biggest donors are to their campaigns?
That's right. Defense contractors in the line of fire.
What? I can't sell fighter jets or helicopters to terrorists or terror regimes? Tell the rubes it's the end of the Second Amendment! Waaaaaah!
Rubes who believe themselves to be right wingers are for the War on Terra, before they are against it.
G, you know I was right beside you in another thread de-bunking the supposed over-reach of the UN treaty.
Believe me when I say, I still am.
1) the language isn't there
2) the UN doesn't have the authority to override the COTUS
But, besides all that, the thing that really rubs my chaps is this
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
130 members of Congress signed a letter to Obama and Kerry urging them to reject the measure
Regardless of whether the treaty has any teeth, it's just pure narcissist ego to ignore the wishes of our representative government
