I'll be writing more extensively on this topic should Obama win this November, but as a brief introduction, many have speculated that an Obama victory will reshape Washington much the way FDR's victory did in 1932 ushering in a swarm of New Deal Democrats.

I'm inclined to agree and as a libertarian, it scares the hell out of me. There will be a new ideological shift in a town that already leans socialist. What we can expect is a literally hundreds of internationalists to enter into powerful positions in the nation's capital. Much like the New Dealers (see Alger Hiss) who sympathized with the Soviet Union and it's "Utopian society" I would expect the Obama cultists to mess seamlessly with the folks at the United Nations and the EU. Look for Strobe Talbott to have his fingerprints on just about everything in the world of foreign policy.

What got me on this subject is the latest entry from the desk of Fjordman over at The Brussels Journal. We've heard bits and pieces about how Barack Obama worked with Bill Ayers on education reform. In Sweden, the Greens and the Social Democrats have something similar in the works.

Mona Sahlin, leader of the Swedish Social Democratic Party, confirmed that her party and the Greens want to form a coalition government in 2010. What kind of policy will such a government follow? Miljöpartiet de Gröna, the Swedish Green Party, state on their official website that the education system should start working for "gender equality" at an early age; children need counterweights to the gender roles which girls and boys are raised into. Therefore teachers and personnel in child care services must finish an education in equality before they are given their exams. They also want to abolish grades in schools:

"We want to do away with the grade system [in today's schools]. Grades contribute considerably to stress and are not a fair and objective system of measuring the individual's potential."

The Green Party favor ideological Globalism in its purest form. They want a "world citizenship" to replace the national citizenship, totally free migration on a global basis, global taxes and a strengthened United Nations to ensure a just world order:

"We do not believe in artificial borders. We have a vision of unrestricted immigration and emigration, where people have the right to live and work wherever they please… We want Sweden to become an international role model by producing a plan to implement unrestricted immigration."

They have a strong focus on anti-discrimination and racism, and desire harsh and swift penalties for "discrimination" yet soft penalties for many other crimes. They want "religiously neutral" holidays (no Christmas or Easter) and education against racism and discrimination to be taught in schools. No "bigotry" against any group of people (except whites presumably, and white men in particular) will be allowed, and all forms of bigotry should be banned by law regardless of where it is voiced. Among the forms of racism they specify should be aggressively stamped out is "Islamophobia." However, they understand that racism cannot be totally stamped out until we have dismantled the "racist world order" and replaced it with a just world order where none suffer and the poor are no longer exploited.

Really folks, wouldn't we be more surprised if they weren't?

It's yet another in a long line of anti-U.S. measures by the world body responsible for allowing the slaughter of countless Rwandans.

Al Gore was quick to blame mankind for the cyclone that killed tens of thousands in Myanmar, but the real man-made disaster is the country's government...if you can call it that. It's a military junta that keeps the people in poverty. If the U.N. was a worthy organization it would be amassing an army right now and preparing to invade the country and take the junta out. Why do we sit around and give legitimacy to a government that doesn't even try very hard to hide the fact that it's a totalitarian dictatorship that makes life miserable for its people? Sovereignty? Please. Any country that enslaves its people is not "sovereign."

"We cannot ignore the recent improvements both in the security and political situation in Iraq," Staffan de Mistura, head of the U.N. Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), said in a address to the Security Council.

Two things to take away here: Bad news for Harry Reid and everyone on the Left when the U.N. even admits there's progress. Second, you have to love the wording: "We cannot ignore...". Why would you want to ignore improvements, Mr. U.N. guy? Could it be an inherent anti-Americanism in your organization? (Hat tip: Instapundit)
