Is Agenda 21 the Tea Partys' new death panels?

The Agenda 21 issue now seems to be the latest Astroturf disinformation campaign brought to you by the same bunch that brought us death panels and the Presidents Birth Certificate.
I am hearing all kinds of really outrageous stuff about Agenda 21. Soon UN Black Helicopters will be descending on white picket fence America, confiscating our firearms and throwing us into FEMA Camps for having a smoky wood stove.

There's only one problem, when I got a hold of the document itself, I couldn't find ANYTHING that corresponded to what is now circulating in Hog Hollow about what is basically a very boring read.

Another disinformation campaign? Or another case of "we don't read anything but just take Rush Numbnuts word for it? We send Congressmen to D.C. that don't read the legislation they vote on so I guess it's no surprise we should be the same way.

that decided against running for reelection because she has to fight Agenda 21 and the Congressman, I believe in Arizona, who claimed that Agenda 21 was a plot by the UN to take over all the golf courses.
