Bill Clinton: The Culture War Is Won!

In a weekend speech to the Democrat faithful and Virginia fat cats, former President Bill Clinton told the crowd “the culture war is won” as he urged his fellow party members to take advantage of this new found power to implement the various schemes that have been on hold for years. Of course the crowd cheered… but will the country? Will you?
I’m willing to concede that the election was won by the nefarious forces of the left – BUT NOT THE WAR! Before we go on, let’s look at some of the changes the former prez would like to see the Obamessiah and his minions in congress pursue.
One item near and dear to the supporters of both is the ability to kill their offspring. The new president already has issued an executive order permitting use of our tax money to fund an increasing array of abortion activities. Many in future generations will not be around to thank him.
The next area to be addressed is the gay agenda where people of the same sex want not only the right to do disgusting things with each other (which they already have) but to have the rest of us accept this behavior as normal and just another option acceptable to us all. It’s not clear at what point pedophilia will be added to the list of acceptable choices.
Another area we have to watch is a bill currently moving through the Senate to approve the Law Of the Sea Treaty (LOST) which would give the UN almost all control of everything about the oceans, including resources, overflights, the ocean floor and continental shelfs. They are about to put the majority of the earths surface under the control of one of the most corrupt organizations in the world.
While we are on the topic of ceding US sovereignty to people with agendas that are far removed from insuring our good, one has to wonder how long it will be until the Kyoto agreement will finally be signed by our “citizen of the world” president. Already we have heard rumblings from the environmental left and their leader Algore about all the changes that need to take place to fight the imaginary demon of “global warming” or, since they found it wasn’t really warming, “climate change”.
These last two are taking place as many business are struggling just to survive. They simply cannot deal with addditional regulations and expenses. We are chasing a phantasy and leaving real problems to fester.
With the new presidents declaration that he wants to restore science to its proper place, we will be seeing experimentation on embryonic stem cells – more embryos destroyed and more dollars wasted. With Darwin Day coming up soon, do we really think it will be long before the federal government will be joining their academic supporters in driving the teaching of intelligent design even further from the public sphere.
Much more is planned along the lines of decreasing individual responsibility and increasing individual dependency. The European model is the highly touted end game of their planned secular society. This European model features such things as low single digit percentage church attendance, high – no, confiscatory tax rates, limits on free speech and a sky rocketing incidence of depression.
If this sounds good to you, apparently we are not on the same page. If this doesn’t sound good, but you agree that the godless left has won, it’s doubtful that we are the same page either. On the other hand, if these things give you real concern, even fear, for the future of our country, then it is high time you join me and John Paul Jones in saying “I have not yet begun to fight!”

I’m disappointed that you have misinformation about the Law of the Sea Convention in your article. The LOS Convention provides the greatest extension of sovereign state control of modern history, and the US gains more than any other nation in the world. In the case of the United States that means an extension of control over living and mineral resources larger as the continental United States, and it will be larger still once we are able to demonstrate with geological measures that our continental shelf goes far beyond 200 nautical miles from shore in the Arctic, the Atlantic, south of Alaska and around our islands in the western Pacific.
At the same time, it protects our right to send warships through narrow straits without the limiting terms of innocent passage and tightens the rules of innocent passage that allow us to force foreign submarines to surface while protecting passage in foreign waters for our commercial and military ships. It recognizes the sovereign immunity of our warships and exempts them from environmental provisions of the convention – in fact, it lets us exempts all military activities from dispute settlements and protects intelligence information from disclosure. It even provides a way for US companies to get exclusive rights to mine minerals from the seabed outside of national jurisdiction, something that cannot be obtained unilaterally.
Customary international law, without the specificity of the LOS Convention, is a weak tool on which to base our essential security and economic interests – in fact, it was because customary law was changing in ways counter to our interests that we sought a written convention. We even managed, once we got the terms we needed, to ensure that the convention, as it applies to us, cannot be changed without Senate approval.
The Law of the Sea Convention will let us lock in rules of ocean use that are far more to our benefit than anything we could have gained by force of arms. Since the Convention sets the rules by which other nations will have to recognize the tremendous extension of our national sovereignty, we should all support it instead of repeating mistaken myths that have been floating around the internet.

This is a different interpretation of the LOST than has been put forth by many. I respect it and shall look into it further. I believe much of the disagreement lies in different views of the value, source and effectiveness of ‘intertnational law’.
The problem with most such treaties is that, even if the conditions are valid and appropriate, the US is often the only party that takes them seriously. We tend to restrict ourselves while others do not. Then when we want to hold them to it, we are the ones who are made out to be the bully.
Beyond this, anything we do that requires the approval or support of a corrupt UN always leaves us at a disadvantage.
Thank you for your response.
