L.O.S.T.: Law Of the Sea Treaty

This is just plain old retarded. We have ignorant nibblers of turtle turds once again selling our sovereignty to the lowest bidders.

Supporters say we must be a signatory to guarantee our share of the resources to be found under the world's oceans and to avoid situations like the race to claim the sea bed under the Arctic between Russia, Canada and other states. But experience suggests a Law of the Sea tribunal won't protect interests we should be protecting ourselves.

LOST would create an International Seabed Authority (ISA) with the power to regulate and tax things like seabed mining, fishing rights and deep-sea oil exploration. The ISA would decide who gets access to the sea's resources, and the companies granted these rights would pay a royalty to the ISA.

Time was, Ronald Reagan's 600-ship Navy gave us freedom of the seas. But if Joe Biden and the Senate have their way, we'll need the permission of 21 judges in Hamburg.

In the 1980s, Libya declared the entire Gulf of Sidra to be under Libyan authority, and ships entering the Gulf needed Libya's permission first. Reagan's response was to dispatch a carrier task force that blew two Libyan patrol boats out of the water. His, and our, point was made.

Since the days of John Paul Jones, our access to and freedom of the seas has been guaranteed by the power of the U.S. Navy. If Joe Biden and the Senate have their way, our motto might soon be "We have not yet begun to negotiate."

The proponents of this are truly unAmerican,, non-patriotic, dumber than a box of Chinese toothpaste, more decrepit than a Chinese crib on top of being dumber than a box of turtle turds.
