Why Should America Reject the Ideas of Left-Leaning Globalists?

The liberty principle for this Freedom Friday is the need for the United States to reject the agenda of left-leaning globalists. Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts presented this principle today at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and Fred Lucas wrote about it. “The World Economic Forum is an international organization that typically includes politicians and corporate leaders who promote specific global issues.” Roberts made the following statement at the forum: 

“I will be candid and say the agenda that every single member of the administration needs to have is to compile a list of everything that has ever been proposed at the World Economic Forum and object to all of them wholesale,” Roberts said, speaking as a leader of America’s conservative movement.

“Anyone not prepared to do that and take away this power of the unelected bureaucrats and give it back to the American people is unprepared to be part of the next conservative administration,” the president of the leading U.S. think tank said….”

Roberts also participated in a panel discussed titled “What can we expect from a possible Republican administration in 2025 in terms of continuation or deviation from this course?” Lucas reported that Roberts was just as candid.

When Roberts was asked about the idea that Donald J. Trump would become a dictator if he is re-elected, Roberts called it “’laughable’ that anyone would suggest the World Economic Forum is protecting liberal democracy and equally so to attack Trump as a would-be dictator.”

“The very reason that I’m here in Davos is to explain to many people in this room and who are watching – with all due respect, nothing personal – but that you are part of the problem,” Heritage’s president said. “Political elites tell the people on three or four or five issues that the reality is X, when in fact the reality is Y.”

Roberts noted that the World Economic Forum promotes a narrative that illegal immigration is positive, that there is no public safety threat in large American cities, and that climate change is catastrophic.

The fourth issue he brought up is the WEF’s embrace of China.

“China, the No. 1 adversary not just to the United States, but to free people on planet Earth. Not only do we at Davos not say that, we give the Chinese Communist Party a platform,” Roberts said.

In a conference call with reporters after the panel, Roberts noted that some in the front row seemed to gasp when he talked about China and also appeared to express frustration. He also said the WEF provided a platform to Iran’s Islamist regime.

Fifth, Roberts said, the World Health Organization is pushing gender ideology even though it’s being rejected by countries in Northern Europe.

“The new president, especially if it is President Trump, will, as you like to say, trust the science,” Roberts told the Davos audience. “He will understand the basic biological reality of manhood and womanhood. Do you know why? Not because of retribution. Not because he’s a dictator. But because he has the power of the American people behind him.”

Roberts went into the proverbial lions' den and slapped them in the face with the truth. I say good for him. Conservatives need only to counteract all the lies of the Left with the truth. The truth will prevail in the end.
