I like what you say here.I hate to jump into this as I'm afraid it will turn into a fight, but may I point out one thing that I think is being overlooked?
Try as they might, politicians can not legislate morality or bring about Moshiach in man's time by man's means.
Vis, I think you might be freaking out a little because you're feeling like the Noahiders are going to try to take over the world and make every deny their real religion, etc. And I have no doubt that some are zealous enough to have that be their long-term goal! But I also think that there is one big distinction. The Noahide laws are HaShem speaking, and in super-duper broad strokes He's saying (paraphrasing here) "...there are laws that every living human being should live by, but a Jewish person has even MORE responsibilities (laws) because they are the ones I chose." The Noahide laws are like "common decency" laws--and I have no doubt that some folks have gotten over zealous and said they are the bare minimum to stay alive! Every major world religion has their folks who are extreme or zealots--even christians have folks who pick up poisonous snakes and stuff.
So on the one hand, I think when some folks here reply "Yahoo I look forward to the day that the Noahide Laws are obeyed and HaShem is the name that causes every knee to bow and every tongue confess"--but that is a spiritual event that will take place in God's time. That is WAY different than saying "Yahoo, I look forward to the day that a small group of zealots force everyone to obey Noahide Laws or kill themn so that we can force HaShem's hand and MAKE the Moshiach come." See, I think those two statements are being jumbled into one pile in your mind and they are not.
I too look forward to the day that has been promised when every knee will bow and every tongue confess the name of The One! I too believe that in that day the Noahide Laws will be obeyed by everyone out of respect and love for HaShem--not because some politician forced them or some zealot said they would kill them. In a way I view it very much like I view the timing of when Yehashua came to earth--He came when it pleased HaShem and the time was right, not when some we here on earth did anything to "make it happen." Same here. Every knee will bow WILLINGLY when HaShem comes and it will be when it pleases HIM, not when we here on earth necessarily do anything to "make it happen." In other words, we are here for His Glory and we wait on Him.
How about if everyone take a breath?
You know that before Hitler had power, he was just a powerful speaker trying to gain power and change the laws as he inched towards his goal. Once in power, the tide changed and everyone found out that they should have protested while it was just a concept. HaShem will have every knee bow and His Judaism rule will be a lot different than this 2000 century version that we have today. No man or woman will feel inferior by the dictates of birth or the law. There will be no beheading in His kingdom.
I am not so concerned that the noahides are taking over the world, but that political parties are going to use that same law for their own purposes and think that they are doing the world a favor.
