Your U.N. at Work – IV
The General Assembly of the United Nations voted this week to elect Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann as its new president. Readers with a long memory will recall Father D'Escoto (he's a Catholic priest) as Nicaragua's foreign minister during the Sandinista regime of the 1980s. He's also the winner of the 1985 Lenin Prize. Only at the U.N. does that count as a recommendation.
The U.N. also voted to name the government of Burma – which otherwise has been busy preventing humanitarian assistance from reaching hundreds of thousands of its own needy victims of last month's devastating cyclone – as one of the Assembly's vice presidents. Only at the U.N. is this not considered an embarrassment.
If that weren't enough, a U.S. official was present for the vote – which was by acclamation – when the U.S. could have at least protested the choice with an empty seat. Nor did the State Department make any effort to offer an alternative to Father d'Escoto, who ran unopposed. Somehow, we don't think this would have happened had John Bolton still been ambassador.
Speaking after his election, Father d'Escoto called for greater "democracy" at the U.N. – an odd remark coming from a former servant of a communist dictatorship. He also called for the U.N. to take a stand against "acts of aggression, such as those occurring in Iraq and Afghanistan." That would be American aggression, not the Taliban's, the Mahdi Army's or al Qaeda's.
A former Lenin Prize winner as General Assembly president and cruel Burma as vice president – another sick joke from the U.N.

Re: Your United Nations at Work – IV
I recommend everyone here read "The Essential Second Amendment Guide" by Wayne LaPierre. This was covered in the book, its downright scary what the U.N. is attempting to do to trump American gun laws, and just everything in general... Bolton was the best thing we had. Too bad he's gone now

Anyone else read the recent article concerning the north korea "slip ups" with the UN?
Its an intresting read... and keep in mind. We pay the rent for these idiots to throw money away. they have 0 usefulness on the global stage, they don't scare anyone and their "peace keepers" are just targets in baby blue hats.

yup... the nukes that Korea has... its the fault of the UN. Thanks UN!The first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.
Be prepared, because someone else already is and no one knows their intent except them.
