.Tea Party Activists Fight Agenda 21, Seeing Threatening U.N. Plot

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa, Oct 15 (Reuters) - TeaBagger activist Judd Saul admits that he can sound a little unhinged when he gets talking about an issue close to his heart that most Americans have never heard of.
"Agenda 21 is an elusive enemy that floats in and chokes you gradually," said Saul, of the Cedar Valley Tea Party in Cedar Falls, Iowa. "They want to destroy the middle-class way of life."
"Agenda 21 aims to undermine your property rights and force you" to live in cities, Jake Robinson told Tea Party members at a meeting in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in April.
For Joe Dugan, leader of the Myrtle Beach Tea Party in South Carolina, "Agenda 21 is nothing short of treason."
If you don't know what Agenda 21 is, you're not alone - only about 15 percent of Americans do. It is a nonbinding U.N. resolution signed by more than 170 world leaders (including Republican U.S. President George H.W. Bush) at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro as a way to promote sustainable development in the face of a rapidly growing global population.

"I think the Teabagger people who turn up to shout at planning meetings are heading for a McCarthy moment," said Ron Littlefield, the mayor of Chattanooga, Tennessee, referring to the Communist witch hunts of Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.
"They have been heard, and many people are sick of their scare tactics," added the mayor, whom local Tea Party activists have been trying to recall for raising property taxes

Isn't it against the TOS to alter the words of an article that you cut and paste?Democracy4Sale wrote: Gee, I love this... I've heard of it before, but I sometimes forget just how far-gone some of these wackos are. I'm curious--How many bat-sh*t-crazy "Agenda-21" believers do we have here? I keep thinking that the John Birch Society and McCarthy wackos crawled back under their rocks in the 1950's, but every now and then I'm reminded that you have to cut off more than one head of the beast for that kind of fanaticism to die...
Any takers here?
