It's nice to see this. He's a top establishment insider - no necessarily the LM, lib establishment. But still.
I PRAY it's just a matter of time before the UN is just a bad memory, like Bill Clinton. Ship it off to Brussels, and let Clinton himself run the thing. Fine. But just get it OUTTA HERE!
First he went to bat for the flat tax ( a spectacular idea if there ever was one in politics) when it wasn't popular to do so, now this. Sharp words from a sharp man.
Quick, somebody remind me why we didn't pick Forbes over whiny internationalist Bob Dole back in '96. Oh, yeah. Dole was more "electable".
BWAHAHAHA!
It COULD happen if enough of the American people decided
to be relentlessly vocal and uncompromising about it:
a prime impetus COULD have been a complete exposure of the Oil-for-Food
scandal, but that's already lost steam (very predictably)
NO ONE in the major media is going to take the initiative to cover the investigation
or conduct one of their own, because, simply speaking, THIS
Administration does NOT want that to happen. To examine why THAT is so would be more and more depressing the further you went into it.
I guess this means Malcolm is running.
After everything we've been through, THIS is impossible?
Dare to Dream?
I'd like to see him run again, but all the same regrettable problems would crop up, like years ago,last
time he ran (lack of charisma, vulnerability to charges of
"inexperience", never run for public office, etc. etc.)
All these charges would be levelled by both DEMS AND PUBS,who , when push comes to shove, and REAL change looms as a possibility, always reveal themselves to be thoroughly Establishment politicians ultimately only interested in preserving their precious status quo.
He's a good man. I'm glad he's on our side. But he is a truly bad candidate. I've never seen a politician who was more ill-at-ease in front of a crowd.
And he has a bad habit of sort of halfway supporting conservative principles.
This article contains an example of this tendency on his part.
He makes a bold call, a righteous one, and then immediately takes every drop of force out of it by saying, "But it will never happen."
Why does he even bother?
It's like saying, "I demand you surrender the city! I surrender!"
That land, that prime real estate, was donated to the UN by the Rockerfellas.
If by some happy circumstance the UN were to vacate, I'm sure the Rockerfellas would put in their claim for the land.
CA....
Dreams, the blueprints of life;-)
Thanks Howlin.
We should pull the plug!
He did. Now it's your turn.
Mr. Egeland's own country is basically bankrupt morally and financially due to the Egeland types that use other people's money to run entitlements in Sweden and rather than helping people, in the long run it bankrupts them. The entitlement mentality of Egeland now wants the "stingy" United States to cough up more aid money for southern Asia's tsunami disaster by, I'll say it again…by raising the taxes on United States Citizens...the United States has NEVER been stingy with aid to others Mr. Egeland! Amore egregious remark could not have been made.
The place to go is www.MoveAmericaForward.com. They have a petition calling for the UN to get kicked out of the US and for us to reduce our contribution to that corrupt agency.
Also, they have a great TV spot that needs support so it can run on the air in January.
