Against John Bolton, In Favor of Continued Corruption At the United Nations
Today, Democrats in the senate are going to come out in support of continued corruption at the United Nations. I'm talking about their systematic attempts to torpedo the nomination of John Bolton to be UN Ambassador. John Bolton has been a big critic of the UN, a loyal staffer in the last three Republican administrations and is a guy who doesn't mince words. In other words, he's perfect for the job.
Personally, I think the best thing we could possibly do to the UN is take our land back (international territory, my ass) and throw the corrupt thugs the hell into the bay. But since that's not going to happen, the UN at the very least needs major reform and who better to help bring about that reform than a known critic of this vaunted body of corrupt third-world despots? And Bolton's suggestion that we eliminate the building (at least ten floors of it) is a good place to begin. We might end up with thousands of homeless diplomats and staffers roaming the streets of New York, but at least they wouldn't be engaging in their usual conspiratorial U.S. bashing. And if we threw them out on the streets, their living conditions would be roughly similar to the living conditions of the citizens in 90% of their home countries. Actually better because they could at least beg for subsistence instead of scrabbling in the hard earth for beans.
But seriously, as the supplier of 20% of the operating budget of the UN, we aren't getting our money's worth. If you gave your kid an allowance and your kid went out and badmouthed you in public, came home and lectured you about how to run your family, then beat you with a big stick and, despite it all, you still kept giving him money, you'd be pretty damn stupid. Well, aside from the beating with a big stick, that's pretty much the situation the U.S. finds itself in with the UN. Just to review:
- The UN partnered with a mass-murdering thug to help him -- and the UN -- profit to the tune of billions of dollars from a program set up to feed his starving people, starving more of them in the process.
- The favorite pastime of some UN aid workers in Africa is child rape.
- The young son of the UN chief Kofi Annan makes hundreds of thousands of dollars working for a company involved in administering oil for food contracts and they continue to pay him even when he doesn't work there just it case this young punk would go out and try to "compete" against them. A whitewashed investigation of this relationship found that Kofi had no idea his son was receiving payola. Sure.
- While this corrupt, ineffective body of thugs, despots and general bad actors regularly lecture us on human rights violations, they have countries like Libya chair their committee on human rights. (What would it take for them to care as much about the human rights of the children their staffers are raping in Africa as they do about some bullshit "human rights" abuses by the U.S.)
I could go on an on but the point here is that the UN is a worthless body of corrupt thugs dedicated to nothing more than lecturing the U.S. about how to conduct business while enriching their personal fortunes at our expense. This while most of the citizens in their home countries scrabble in the hard earth to make per capita incomes of $2,000 a year or less. We need someone to go in there and kick some UN ass and John Bolton is the guy. The fact that the Democrats oppose him speaks volumes about THEIR agenda. But what would you expect from a bunch of folks whose political party is damn near as corrupt and morally bankrupt as the UN itself?

Hear,Hear Steve. You know, when I was in 8th grade at St. John the Baptist Catholic school in Haycock, Pa. in Bucks County, our class trip was to New York city, and we went to the U.N. I was fascinated by the foreign receptionist,she was so beautiful. Then, our tour guide was a blonde woman in a uniform, and I thought she was just the best thing, I wanted to be like her! Wow, I thought, I want this kind of job, and the U.N. is so neat! Well, unfortunately, maturity and reality sets in. Perhaps it wasn't as bad then as it is now, but, boy, it is soo bad now. I think what bugs me the most is that these guys are living the high life in New York city, but consistently bite the hand that feeds them. How two-faced,and corrupt can you get? We are expected to just continue to cater to this body of U.S. bashers while they represent countries that are light years away from our compassion and freedom? I would LOVE for the U.N. to be moved to one of THEIR countries, instead of their continued, parasitic,draining of America.
