Standing By Your Sex-Hobbyist -Man; Because It's Your Fault Too?

WHOOPEE!! NOW WHEN ARE YOU LEAVING?

Isn't U.N. translated from Islamofascist as "bend over?"

"We will be judged in the future on the actions we take today -- on results. On this United Nations Day, let us rededicate ourselves to achieving them."
Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General

Pardon my Pukin' - Talk about something that has really outgrown its usefulness and turned into a hateful bastion of anti-semitic, pro-terror BULLPOCKY!!! Oh, did I mention its U.N. Day? I hope that explains my total lack of enthusiasm.

I call on Donald Trump or Barbara Corcoran to take over that real estate and turn it into something that MAKES A REAL DIFFERENCE: A massive housing shelter for abused persons & children with medical, legal and mental health care on site? Or the world's biggest Starbucks?

Someone please get the "diplomats" who drive like maniacs, leave the scene of accidents, park illegally, run people down and then leave the country, treat waiters and shopkeepers like garbage, are anti-semitic and anti-U.S., overrun Macy's and Bloomingdale's and basically flip off the U.S. and NYC while taking full advantage of all it has to offer out of my city!!

Let's herd them to the sea! ... or at least the East River!

excerpts:
Let's get one thing straight from the outset: The U.N. sucks. And before you start talking about the starving babies it saves and the thorns it pulls from cuddly creatures' paws, please remember that all sorts of awful institutions do good things. Hamas funds hospitals, Hitler built highways, Stalin improved literacy, Baywatch helped people with tired blood by providing uplifting, and uplifted, torsos to look at.

One can be in favor of many of the things the U.N. does without being in favor of the U.N., just as being in favor of regular garbage collection doesn't mean I have to be in favor of the government collecting garbage. If the government stopped picking up my trash, that wouldn't mean my home would be swallowed up in bags of filth. And, if the U.N. stopped feeding starving people that would hardly mean starving people would never be fed.

The problems with the United Nations are legion. It is a parliament of thugs masquerading as the authentic voice of the world's people. It is a megaphone for simultaneously childish and serious America-bashing. It is a place where utopian schemes and Malthusian nightmares will always find a sympathetic ear. It is a gold rush for criminals and cranks looking to drain the treasuries of nations too racked with guilt to put up a "No Panhandling" sign once and for all.

There are plenty of people, delegates to the U.N. at the forefront, who think the U.N. is a "democratic" voice for the peoples of the world and that it is therefore somehow immoral, arrogant, or unsophisticated to defy its edicts and brush off its condemnation.

This conviction, alas, stands on a foundation of shoddy thinking and fictional assumptions. I can't tell you how many people I've met who've tried to use the fact that the U.N. voted on something as proof that the U.N. is right. College kids will shriek the word as if it drips with self-evident authority: "It voted against the United States!" "Don't you understand? It voted!"

Well, voting, in and of itself, has as much to do with democracy as disrobing has to do with sex. Both are often necessary, neither are ever sufficient.

I always think of "the Commission" when I want to illustrate this point. That's what the Mafia called its confabs of the major mob families. Think of that scene in The Godfather where Don Corleone arranges for the return of Michael from Sicily (and subsequently realizes that all along it was Barzini, not that pimp Tattaglia, who outfoxed Santino). The Commission was democratic. It took votes on where and when to install drug dealers, bribe judges, and exterminate cops. Now, just because it took a vote, does that make its decisions any more noble or just? Well, the U.N. is a forum for tyrants and dictators who check the returns on their Swiss bank accounts — and not the needs or voices of their own people — for guidance on how to vote. The fact that Robert Mugabe, Bashar Assad, Kim Jong-Il, Hassan al-Bashir, Fidel Castro, et al., condemn the United States from time to time is a badge of honor. And the fact that we, and other decent peoples, feel the need to curry their favor and approval is a badge of shame.

Oh, sure, there are plenty of decent nations in the U.N., but that doesn't change the fact that decisions are made in a political environment where good guys must compromise with bad guys. If the Commission had had a few honorary slots for some policemen and priests, would that make its votes that much more honorable? When the Commission votes 10 to 2 in favor of selling heroin to Girl Scouts, should the cop and the priest feel bad? "Darn, lost another vote!"

Should they try to, in the words of U.N. fetishists, "effect change from within the system" by seeking "constructive compromise with those whom they have sincere differences"? Or, should they say, "I'll be damned if I'm going to deal with, be lectured to, or be shaken down by a bunch of gangsters and tyrants, just because the New York Times says I should."
