He had to be a “globalist” if he worked for the UN. Either that or he doesn’t have any real principles.

Against paying UN until they reform

Q: Do you think our reasons for withholding payment from the UN are valid?

A: I do think they’re valid. To try to get the United Nations to reform its wasteful practices, reform its opposition to the free enterprise approaches that could actually help countries around the world to develop, we withheld those dollars. And I’d continue to withhold them today because the organization has not responded, it has not reformed. And I think it until it does, we ought to stand firm in our position.

Fostered policy of withholding UN funds; UN wastes US taxes

“I’ll take the blame for [withholding UN funding], because I was one of those people in the Reagan administration who helped foster that policy. We withheld our contributions because it is an organization that takes our money, tosses it down the rathole of UN waste, and puts our money into the pockets of the rich people in developing countries. [Paying the UN gives US taxes] to international bureaucrats who are basically interested in doing nothing but maintaining their own comfort and security.” - Alan Keyes, Source: Republican Debate at Dartmouth College Oct 29, 1999

Thanks so much for helping to highlight the huge difference between Alan Keyes and Romney’s friends and close associates.
