I saw/heard the president’s address to the U.N. on C-Span this morning. I also heard the speeches of Secretary General Annan, the President of the General Assembly (Al Khalifa), and the President of Brazil (Da Silva), all of whom preceded Bush.
It's not surprising that a Muslim is now the President of the General Assembly, since the U.N. is now entirely controlled by the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
Until now, I had never witnessed the proceedings on the floor of the U.N. for any length of time, and, despite my loathing of that body as the most prominent reason for the global spread of Marxism and the emboldening of terrorism, I still found myself incensed at what I saw and heard. I literally felt in need of a shower after turning off the television -- as if I had spent the morning in a toxic waste dump.
Other than making token and hypocritical reference to the value of freedom and excellence (both of which the villainous world body disdains), every speech leading up to the president's extolled the value of, and the pressing need for, the working people of the world to give up (at the point of a gun, if need be, although that remained unsaid) a large portion of the fruits of their labor for the 'disadvantaged' of the world.
That's it. That's what the U.N. of 2006 stands for -- redistribution of wealth and prosperity, at the point of a gun, if need be (and, it goes without saying, the destruction of the state of Israel, although that, too, remained unspoken).
I am not a fan of the president. But, as I saw and heard him speaking to that malevolent body, I became acutely aware of the fact that America's days are numbered. That the rest of the world is seeking to build a future that is in direct and violent contrast to the vision of America's Founders. And that our leadership in Washington either (1) hasn't a clue as to how to go about preserving the American vision against the vile madmen who see it as their destiny to annihilate it, or (2) prefers to indirectly ally themselves with the madmen.
I'm afraid we live in a violent, unjust world -- perhaps moreso than at any time in the history of mankind. And this morning when I saw and heard leaders of virtually every nation on the globe gathered together planning how best to foist upon what remains of the free world their often violent vision of the ultimate worldwide socialist utopia...and I heard the American president speaking to them as if his words had any hope of piercing their arrogant, powerful, self-serving armor...I became indescribably sad for us all. They haven't any use for us, other than to plunder from us the hard-won rewards of our two-plus centuries of historically unparallelled liberty-based prosperity...so as to use their ill-gotten gains to see their new-world agenda to its contemptible end. And (mark my word), barring a miracle, or a significant change in the resolve of the free world, they will.
"That place is a cesspool of commies, villains and socialists that aspire together to take over the powerful and successful.
They haven't always been very successful. (I wish I could find the picture the old Bolshevic pounding the UN podium with his shoe. I suppose that image has been consigned to the memory hole.)
BTTT!
Yeah, that old Bolshevic "buried us," didn't he? (Thanks to Ronald Reagan!) LOL!
That NYC UN building would be a heck of a place for sume luxury condos.
I remember... though Kruschev was our enemy, his reasoning wasn't blinded by suicidal hate such as fanatic Ahmadnutjob.
It's also known that the federal fascist bureaucrats are implementing unratified UN treaties.
Example -
In 1994, the US senate rejected the UN Biodiversity Treaty. The treaty called for setting aside vast expanses of public and private land for biodiversity, whatever the hell that means in UN soft law interpretation.
Clinton told the bureaucracy to implement the treaty anyway.
Result -
The federal bureaucracy let loose with the endangered species act and clean water act to remove millions of acres of property, both public and private, from development.
And now the USSC has stepped in with Kelo, which essentially takes all private property and sets it on the sales block to further the collective Marxist good as defined by the state.
Or the "northern branch" of the Pentagon.
Un-friggin-believable. Just another lesser known branch of the "Clinton Legacy."
Kruschev did know his limitations. Nicky conducted foreign affairs like a school yard bully. He at one point he thought he had JFK on the ropes. After the Cuban Missile Crisis the Grand Soviet decide that Kruschev wasn't entertaining any more. p>

If you have to make concessions to your liberal friends by de facto bashing of Bush then your support for the war against the war against civilization your just spitting in the wind. You're either with us or with the enemy. That isn't political sloganeering that's reality.
As for wealth redistribution ... socialism sucks. Here, there or anywhere. It's the poison that pees in everyone's rice bowl equally.
I wouldn't attempt to speak for her, but the author of this Sierra Times article is Freeper joanie-f. I know she has major criticisms of Bush's stand on our open border and on his spending, so I suspect that is what she means when she says she's not a fan. I'm pinging this to her so maybe she'll answer herself. ;)
I do know why you're not a fan in that context.
(arghhh. crawling back into my cave)
