Neil Cavuto on the UN: Bastards

Way go Neil! I wish everyone else in the public eye would speak their honest minds about this travesty of a world ogarnization:

WOOOOOHOOOO! Adios Asa!

Finally, the biggest border-wimp at DHS resigns:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,145206,00.html

I wonder how he could have ever thought he had a shot at Ridge's job, he's been nothing but an embarrassment at whatever they're calling the border security department these days. It's probably a good indication of Asa's effectiveness that I can't remember his department's name.

Mr. Hutchinson has done nothing but undermine border security agent authority, tie their hands, pander to minority PACs, and defy the will of the American people to have SECURE borders, NOW. Asa's political ambitions drive him, not his responsibility. The sum total of Asa's accomplishments at his post have been ill-advised reorganizations, weakening of accountability, and dilution of his mandate. Classic management tactics to give the appearance of action while carefully avoiding responsibility for his failure.

I'm glad to see Asa go, and unfortunately Tom Ridge as well. Tom Ridge and even George Bush share some of the blame for Asa's lengthy dereliction. I bet Ridge wanted support from Bush to crack down on Asa, and ultimately our borders, and instead Bush pandered in his own interest as well. All of these men are gambling with our very lives, and handing Hilary Clinton the White House in 2008.

I hope President Bush realizes what this issue alone will do to all the success conservatives and moderates have had taking our country back from the liberals and socialists. I hope he pays very close attention to the 2006 congressional elections. I predict that anyone supporting W's 'ignore border security/guest worker' crap gets creamed for it.

Too bad Asa isn't retiring to our border with Mexico. Maybe we should redraw it so that Mr. Hutchinson's Arkansas shares a border with Mexico.

Asa's gone, so now if the next 911-style bombers come through the border, it's on Michael Chertoff and the president I voted for last November.

Mr. Chertoff: Don't wait for George's support, you're not likely to get it. Grow a pair and fix it yourself.

UN-Fair, UN-Lawful, and UN-Wanted

Unfortunately, Bush wimped out and turned our tsunami aid over to the UN the following week, but this article does a good job of showing how the UN and our liberal press attacks America, and seeks to impose class warfare in the hopes of some kind of global UN junta:

Thursday, January 06, 2005
Jack Kinsella - Omega Letter Editor

There are over six billion people living on our planet. Of that six billion, almost two billion are Muslims. That's roughly a third of the total population of the earth.

The earthquake that triggered the killer tsunami was centered just off the coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim country. It was also the most severely devastated by the wave. Nearly 100,000 of the victims of the December 26 catastrophe were Indonesian Muslims.

The vast majority of the victims were either Muslims, Buddhists or Hindu. Got all that? Good.

Now, to the United Nations. The United Nations consists of 186 countries. The most powerful voting bloc is the fifty-seven Islamic countries that generally vote with one voice, especially when the United States or Israel are voting the other way.

The United Nations' head of humanitarian relief, Jan Egeland, criticized the West for being stingy. He didn't specifically mention America, but he cited the exact percentage of the US GDP that is budgeted for foreign aid, so there is little doubt of who the 'stingy West' was, at least in Egeland's mind.

Egeland slammed the United States for not raising taxes so that America could give a greater percentage of its GDP to the UN to distribute as part of the UN's foreign aid package.

Editorials in the Washington Post, the New York Times and other liberal newspapers echoed Egeland's charge, with the New York Times calling America's $350 million in direct government aid 'miserly'.

The United States makes up some six percent of the world's total population, but we pay a quarter of the United Nation's total budget. The United States pays forty percent of the world's total disaster relief aid, and sixty percent of the world's total food donations.

The $2.4 billion (that's BILLION) dollars Washington spent in emergency aid in 2003 represented 40 percent of the total amount of emergency assistance from all bilateral donors provided that year. Evidently, that isn't enough.

It didn't take long for these same liberal elitists to turn Mother Nature into an American right-wing hater of Islam.

Not only had America's imperialistic self-enrichment policies created the natural disaster, but also cold-hearted Muslim hating President Bush wouldn't leave his ranch in Texas...which by the way, is his home-not avacation destination-and only offered a 'stingy' initial monetary donation.

While these elitist journalist were assailing President Bush and expounding the mantra that America should be giving more money to the devastated region in a token gesture that would 'show Islam that America didn't hate Muslims', UN Secretary General Kofi Annan was still on his vacation skiing in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He returned to New York four days later.

The wave struck on Sunday, and it took only until Monday before the US announced its $350 million in initial aid, sent the USS Abraham Lincoln into the region, including helicopters, and C-130 transport planes, sent hundreds of tons of pre-packaged emergency aid supplies, and deployed some14,000 American troops to help with the recovery and cleanup.

In Indonesia, U.S. helicopters flew at least 30 sorties, delivering 60,000 pounds of water and supplies, from the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln along a 120-mile stretch of Sumatra island's ravaged coastline.

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, the richest nations in the Islamic world, donated a paltry $10 million each. The United Arab Emirates donated some $20 million to relieve the suffering of their Islamic 'brothers'.

Egypt's contribution at the time of this writing is $104,000.00. (Note: Egypt gets $2 BILLION in US foreign aid annually)

And did anybody notice that the majority of the private donations came from those evil corporate types the left so loves to loathe?

Pfizer donated $10 million in cash and $25 million in drugs. (That is more than oil-rich Saudi Arabia and Kuwait combined). General Motors pledged $2 million in cash, agreed to match employee donations dollar for dollar, and is sending vehicles to transport food and medical supplies to the region.

Other corporate donors include Nike Inc., American Express, General Electric, First Data Corp., Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Exxon-Mobil, Citigroup, Marriott International and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

On the other hand, where are all the Hollywood liberals? Activist actors such as Ben Affleck, Susan Sarandon, Al Franken, Tim Robbins, Martin Sheen, and Barbra Streisand have not been heard from.

And where is George Soros, the world richest left wing liberal?

Actress Sandra Bullock donated one million dollars, but Bullock is neither an activist nor a liberal. (She also donated one million following September 11.) Super-rich liberals like Bono and Bruce Springsteen are promising to hold another 'aid concert' to collect money (not theirs) for the victims.

America, as noted at the outset, represents six percent of the global population. But in any catastrophe, it gets one hundred percent of the blame. The UN's nose is out of joint because the Bush administration refuses to funnel its aid through the UN's various aid agencies.

Kofi Annan wants to use the catastrophe to shore up the UN's sagging image in the wake of the Oil-For-Food thefts from Iraq. The United States wants to ensure the aid doesn't end up lining the pockets of UN officials. So the US is 'too stingy' and gets another black eye.

Where is the rest of the Islamic world? There are fifty-seven Islamic nations, and the world's biggest Islamic nation is the one that took the hardest hit. But it is the United States-the world's largest donor nation-that is grabbing all the headlines for being 'stingy'.

To put things in perspective, I saw a news photo yesterday of one of the Indonesian victims. He was wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the face of Osama bin Laden.

Merriam Webster adds "Blog"!

There can be no question that bloggers have become a major influence on the media:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/op-ed/20050113-091121-9283r.htm

What is VERY interesting about the surging blogger and talk radio phenomenon is that the highest traffic and biggest audiences are for conservative pages/commentators. Liberal sites and talk radio draw few listeners/readers, and even less advertisers. It amazes me that SeeBS's Moonves and his ilk at the NYSlimes, Washington Puke, LAGrimes, etc. are either not business-savvy enough to see what that means, or are willfully losing money for their shareholders.

Thank goodness main street America now has a powerful voice to counter the insidious liberal infection that is, with few exceptions, American media today. Academia and Hollywood are next.

Hollywood should be a fairly easy nut to crack - films with liberal agendas just don't sell much anymore. Films that extoll heroism, fidelity, patriotism, mercy, wisdom and other traditional values sell like hotcakes. Can anyone say "The Day After Tomorrow" and then "Lord of the Rings" - which do YOU prefer?

Academia will be more difficult, tenure and entrenched dogma are formidable advantages. Intellectual honesty is currently frowned-on and overtly discouraged in today's academia in favor of political correctness, emotional sensitivity, and the radical left-wing agenda. Socialism is held up as a higher form of government. Moral equivalency, self-loathing, and tolerance are touted as the only antidote to aggression. Outrageous lies are acceptable to 'reveal a deeper truth'. All manner of cheating, conniving, stealing, underhandedness, and unprincipled behavior is condoned in the pursuit of the class warfare tactics of the liberals. Inconvenient facts, reality, and honesty are ignored, patronizingly harrumphed-off as 'traditional, illiterate, neo-conservative propaganda'.

I'm personally not religious, but admit a certain fondness for judeo-christian morality - fairness, justice, individual freedom/responsibility, majority rule, accountability, and compassion. I consider these traits part of what made America great as a nation and the prime reason why Americans so willingly give to others; our money, time, support, and most especially our blood. Our freedom inspires us, and in their hearts, the world as well. We are compassionate, but it does not overide our common sense. We move slowly, cautiously on social issues, and fast on security and life-threatening issues.

At the same time, I'm very conservative about economics and foreign policy. I think America should be world leaders in both through open markets, small government, low taxes, deregulation, carrot/stick diplomacy, and even military pre-emption when absolutely necessary. Peace through strength, good government through minimal government.

Liberals/socialists do not understand these things. Until they do, they'll never be a dominant force in American life or politics. Until they do, they'll be liberals - but when they do, they'll be conservatives.

UN: How can we give aid to Indonesia when all its 5-star hotels are gone?

The UN can't get out of its own way, much less be of any use to anyone.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,143955,00.html

I love the posts on Diplomad.com, especially the one about the only way to avoid seeing UN people in the area is to go to where the quake and tsunami actually hit. It seems that the UN is hopelessly locked into its cycle of corruption - 'let's pay ourselves first, then we'll see about anyone else'.

Scumbags!! I'd love to see Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, etc. pull out of the UN over the ineptitude and corruption of that organization. Sure would pave the way for the US to do it. How long before countries specifically ask for US help rather than that of the UN in times of crisis? How long before UN organizations are banned from countries around the world?

Hopefully soon.

US OUT OF UN, UN OUT OF US!!!

CBS Whitewash

CBS denies political motivation is behind the TANG fiasco, what a surprise. CBS hunted this story for 5 years, winked at obviously forged/faked documents, and held the story until just before our Presidential Election. No political bias my ass:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/op-ed/20050110-084509-7844r.htm

Nothing else to say except the CBS boycott is still in effect for me.

Gonzales Under Attack

The leftwing media (not to be confused with Mainstream Media, like Fox) is at it again. Alberto Gonzales, the first Hispanic to be Attorney General, is under fire by the 'champions of the minority' on the left:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,143635,00.html

Guess you're not really a minority unless your a loony leftist like those at the NYT and WaPo. I'm so sick of liberal lying, arrogance (very unfounded), and underhanded weasle-ness. To paraphrase that Hindenberg reporter, 'oh, the stupidity!'.

Americans will not let these socialist ignoramuses disarm us in our fight against theocratic tyranny, terrorism, and injustice. While I would recommend stopping short of actually beheading terrorists in the pursuit of intelligence (headless folk don't talk much), I'm not all that concerned about an occasional lapse in manners that the NYT moans about. You tweak the tiger, you get the claws Abdul, minority opinions like Usama's and the liberal press notwithstanding.

I'm as caring and sensitive as the next man, but if a tortured terrorist prevents dead Americans, so be it. I trust our soldiers, their commanders, and our President to use their best judgement, unlike the left. Folks who have no sense of duty, honor, and patriotism cannot recognize it in others and therefore cannot help but see nefarious motives.

Abuses happen, and are being punished. But honest mistakes also happen, and I for one will not judge a 20-year old kid from 10,000 miles away. Freedom and liberty do not come without cost. If you don't have the character and the stomach to pay it, at least get the hell out of the way of those who do.

The New York Times, and liberals in general, are what happens when socialist idealogy is allowed to victimize education. Such a pity, all those wasted lives.
