When are we going to say "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY!"?
How much longer are we going to continue to fund those who are gleefully planning our own demise (or standing idly by applauding the planners)? At what point are we going to wake up and realize that the "world's" good opinion of us doesn't matter a hill of beans if it costs us our security, sovereignty, values and yes, MORALITY!
Someone please tell me what the hell is so "noble" about an organization that views despotism and democracy as equally worthy of air time? How can we respect a Secretary General who could shake hands with the Hitler of the 21st Century? What on earth is the UN for at all if it allows people like Ahmadinejad and Chavez to be members, never mind applauded speakers!
The General Assembly APPLAUDED Chavez! Repeatedly, and for prolonged periods of time! His reception was warmer than the one our own President got, and yet WE are the ones constantly asked for aid and comfort whenever some other country needs it. WE are the ones hosting the organization that hosts such people. Do you think Chavez would tolerate Bush showing up in Caracas and calling him a devil in front of his entire population and the rest of the world?
When is enough ENOUGH for us? We are masochists. We are fools. You know what we are? We're that nerdy sweet kid in school who invites all the popular (but nasty, irresponsible and stupid) kids to his house for a party, hoping to be liked and included, only to discover his house trashed, his dignity pulverized and his parents really really pissed off!
Not sure who the parents are in this analogy (ought to be "we the people" thought dotcha think?), but the rest works. We are smart and we are good and we TRY to consider how the rest of the world feels about our policies--domestic as well as foreign by the way (a fact I never understood, on either count)--but the "rest of the world" couldn't give a rat's ASS what we think of them, what we think of their policies, their leaders, their rhetoric.
We say "Islamic fascists?" They scream "STOP IT AND APOLOGIZE! (or else...)." We support Israel and the fledgling democracies in Iraq and Afghanistan, and we're called "occupiers" and genocidal killers? And the UN--the august body that is supposed to actually give a shit about freedom, the group that is supposed to be making the world "safe" enough for freedom to stand a chance, doesn't see a difference--moral or otherwise--between the way we conduct our affairs and the way men like Chavez and Ahmadinejad do? EXCUUUUUUUUSE ME?!
I've had it. I'm totally fed up. I don't want us to pay another fucking red cent towards that group of Useless Ninnies. I want the land seized, the diplomats spies thrown out of the country (but not without being forced to pay their parking tickets first), and the entire space bulldozed into a parking lot for New Yorkers. If those "peaked in the 7th Century" types want to have another blowout party at which we are the butt of the jokes, let them do it in their own home, and let us RSVP "ON A COLD DAY IN HELL MUTHERFUCKERS!"
When is my country going to wake up? Does the left really think these monsters are going to suddenly morph into cute cuddly little puppies and kittens as soon as Hillary is President? Did they act so very differently when Clinton was in office? Last time I checked, Iran was seeking nuclear technology and violating IAEA regs. back then (same with N. Korea). And it wasn't like Billary and Hugo were "tight" either. Has the irrational hatred for Bush in this country driven people literally stark raving mad?
After today's non-reaction in the American MSM (hehe, I'm being kind! People like Brian Williams and Katie Couric could barely contain their glee, and prominent Dhimmicraps simply used the entire thing as evidence that Bush has ruined our credibility with "our allies" abroad.
ALLIES??? Iran and Venezuela??? Since when?? In what alternate universe (since 1979) were they our "allies?" Would Ahmadinejad be embracing freedom and tolerance and NOT salivating at the notion that armageddon will happen in his lifetime (brought about by him to bring back the 12 Imam) if Gore (or Kerrique) and not Bush were in office? So what did his holier-than-thouness, Jimmah Carter do to piss off the Iranians enough to cause them to seize the embassy and hold our hostages? Does anyone (besides me) remember? He allowed the Shah to come here for cancer treatment. His "niceness" got our asses handed to us, and if that's not irony, I don't know what is!
My point is, you don't have to be some neo-con "warmonger" (as Bush is accused of being), some "inarticulate" Republican, you just have to be the leader of the FREE WORLD to get the UN-FREE WORLD to hate you!
Shit like this almost makes me want their sorry asses to win in November and in '08. Let them deal with these crazies and NOT be able to blame it on Bush or the GOP (although trust me, they'll try at first, but that will grow stale very quickly). Let them and their Kossaks and other kooks try to explain away the tyranny and the slaughter as being "all our fault" when THEY are in charge! I DARE THEM!
Like I said, I "ALMOST" want that scenario to play itself out. If it really did, the humor and irony in it for me would quickly give way to terror and even more sleepless nights (if that's possible).
Make no mistake kids, we're in for a rough ride this Century. Let's just hope we still have what it takes to make it to the other side intact as a nation, never mind ALIVE!
