It is truely hard to comprehend how any citizen living in a free country like America would agree to anything that comes from the UN and the fact that the leaders of the "free world" would subject their country and citizens to this kind of tyranny.
What we need is a President and a congress with balls enough to tell the UN to go "F" themselves.

“it will be necessary to deeply reflect on the substance of sovereignty, and accept that changes in our perceptions are a good indication of the direction we are going.”
Any American who supports ceding our nation's sovereignty to the UN should be shot on the spot for treason.

Ditto.
One would expect our constitution to act as a bulwark against some of this crap contemplated by these UN bureaucrats. On the other hand, our supreme court justices -- some of them -- seem to be taken with the idea of basing their jurisprudence on foreign court precedents: that blows my mind. Further, what would seem to be black letter text in the constitution -- to whit, the second amendment -- is something, likewise, some of our supreme court justices seem entirely capable of misreading and totally twisting out of a reasonable interpretation. I confess that I no longer feel much protected by the constitution. Limited government? I don't think what the Obama administration and Democrat majorities are lving within the constraints defined by the constitution.

I agree. But don't expect a president and congress full of Democrats and Republicans to do that. Our current "leaders" are so invested in the system that we'd need to replace virtually all of our politicians (not that this is a bad thing).
Aside from a few good ones like Ron Paul, our federal government is full of liberals and RINOs who clearly have no problem with "migrants" and redistribution of wealth.
we need to get OUT of the U.N. .... and to EXPEL them from their roost on the East River of New York City. I believe this sort of talk about absconding with the sovereignty of
any country...but most importantly of the United States, is a justifiable reason to scatter them about the face of the earth like the chaff they have become. And I agree with the poster regarding the justification of summary execution for anyone who'd willingly cede U.S. sovereignty to the U.N.
I don't mind, so much, remaining in. We are, after all, a permanent member of the Security Council, and as a result have veto power over ANYTHING that the UN might do. Unfortunately, given the pissants that the idiot majority of our country elected the last time around, I'm concerned that the current crew lacks the cajones to veto anything, up to and including a complete abrogation of our sovereignty.
one wonders how ki-Moon reconciles (or does he even care enough to reconcile) ,the drive to diminish national sovereignity with fundamental rights of self-determination? i mean, last i checked, i didn't vote for anyone at the U.N.
