Time to Abandon the U.N.

I've been watching the speeches at the U.N. on Fox news, and all I can say is what a circus?  The fact that these crazy Communist and Islamic fascist bastards are allowed in our country to spew their anti-American propaganda B.S. says a great deal about our free society and U.S. tolerance.  But enough is enough.  Why are we paying a billion dollars a year to such an anti-American organization?  The U.N. is nothing but a bunch of third world, uncivilized nations that hate America because we are a great and powerful nation.  They're simply jealous so they don't like us.  Although America goes out of its way and spends billions of dollars a year to help these third world countries, they would rather blame us for their problems than to work with the U.S. to make the world a better, safer place for all.

Even our so called allies - what a joke.  Russia cannot be trusted and they are still basically a communist state, whether or not they admit it.  France is being France and we can never trust them.  They are just as corrupt as many of the third world dictatorships - the Oil for Food scandal proved that.  They will go behind America's back to work against our interests while smiling and pretending to be our friend to our face.  Germany is not much better.  With friends like these, who needs enemies?

It's time for the U.S. to stop trying to appease the world...they cannot be appeased.  They hate us and no matter how much we try to help them, they will still hate us.  Besides the fact that the United Nations is impotent and lacks accountability, it's also as corrupt as many of its third world, uncivilized, barbaric nations that are members.  The U.N. is against the interests of the U.S. and it's time for America to put our time, efforts and money into NATO or some other credible world organization that can actually accomplish its purpose, without the corruption.  The U.N. is worthless, and a waste of time.

Where Do They Grow These Liberals?

I was watching Hannity & Colmes on Fox news the other day (I think I already admitted to being a Fox News junkie).  Anyway, this complete moron was on the show talking about how we should deal with the immigration problem.  I didn't catch his name because I'm bad with names and quite honestly, I didn't really care what his name was.  But this guy is the San Francisco City Supervisor (go figure).  He claims we should not even have a military, and still seems to stand by this statement.  No, really!  And Sean Hannity gave him a million chances to set the record straight and say that he didn't really mean it, but he wouldn't.

Now, he apparently is telling law enforcement in his city not to enforce new federal immigration laws if they are passed.  In other words, he is encouraging lawlessness and anarchy.  He claims he can't enforce immigration laws because he doesn't have the resources, and the police officers he does have need to focus on more important problems.  And then this bonehead went on to say that the way to resolve immigration is to reform the economies of the countries (namely Mexico) that illegal immigrants are immigrating from.  Oh sure Mr. City Supervisor, as if we have the ability to reform a foreign country's economy.  First of all, we have no authority to do anything with their economy.  Second, we don't have the resources...remember Mr. City Supervisor?  You don't even have the resources to enforce the laws of the United States of America in your city, how are you going to help reform an entire country's economy, maybe even several countries' economies...huh???!  Besides that, the Mexican government won't even cooperate with the US to keep drugs from coming in the US and it actually provides information to its citizens on how to illegally enter the US.  Even if you got rid of all the corruption, there is no way Mexico is going to work "with" the US to do anything, even to reform it's own economy.  Give me a break.  I'm sorry but this guy shouldn't even be allowed to talk on national TV.

But he was, and it gets even funnier.  He went on to say that we should follow the Europeans model of not only open borders for trade, but we should have an open labor market too.  In other words, we should let anybody who pleases drift back and forth across our border for the sake of labor?  Perhaps Mr. San Francisco City Supervisor would also like to have a more than 20% unemployment rate like many European countries.  And how about riots like those taking place in Paris...would he like to have angry, violent, unemployed young people rioting in his city too?  Why would we follow an example that has failed the Europeans so miserably?  And why would anybody, even in San Francisco, want this loser to be their City Supervisor?

By George, I Don't Think He Gets It

I've had this domain for a while now and have been toying with the idea of setting up a political blog.  I have several business blogs, unfortunately I can't vent my political feelings on those blogs (bad for business since roughly half the country is going to disagree with just about anything I say!).  But I keep up on current events quite a bit (okay, I admit I'm a Fox News junkie), and I have a lot of opinions that my family is probably sick of hearing.  So finally today, thanks to George Bush's stupid idea to trust the UAE with some of our port security, I started www.BlogForFreedom.com to let the world know exactly what I think (although the world really doesn't care - I'm aware!).

As a disabled veteran, a Republican and a President Bush supporter, I cannot believe that ANY of our nation's port security would be left to the UAE.  I realize there is a great deal more to this issue than meets the eye - information that citizens such as myself do not have.  However, if there is even a .01% chance that this could jeopardize national security (and there is at least a .01% chance), why would we take such an unnecessary risk? 

As a child, I lived in Saudi Arabia and I have many Arab friends.  As a result, I understand their culture and I do not trust the UAE.  I know that extremist Arabs who hate America are an accepted part of most Arab cultures.  They are not seen as criminals, in fact, many see them as heroes and their ties to the "government elites" are usually strong.  While many Arab governments are "officially" allies of the US and the war on terror, their people truly do not like America or our way of life.  For this reason, it would be way too easy for an extremist group to find an "in" to this UAE company.  What if our UAE 'friends' just happen to turn a blind eye to a shipment of weapons, nuclear, chemical or other hazardous items that could be used to launch an attack on our homeland?  Currently, the majority of containers that come through our ports go unchecked and we need to tighten port security.  Instead, we seem to be putting the fox in charge of the hen house.  Has our government become completely blind to the obvious?

President Bush and the Republican Party claim that securing our nation is a top priority after 9/11.  Iraq is part of this plan and I support the war in Iraq.  However, what good does it do to spend billions of dollars fighting terrorism in Iraq when our borders are completely unprotected?  If Mexican immigrants can illegally enter our country any time they like, what's stopping Al Quaeda?  Nothing.  And now we're going to leave our ports in the hands of a country that was home to two of the 9/11 hijackers?  If we continue with such an ignorant, liberal attitude towards national security, President Bush is right about one thing...it's just a matter of time before we get hit again.

I have lost a great deal of respect for President Bush due to his failure to secure the Mexican border.  I live in Arizona and I believed border security would finally be taken seriously after 9/11.  But it was all political BS.  And now with this port security issue, I don't know what he's thinking anymore.  For the first time in my life, I actually agree with the Democratic leadership.  If the Republicans want to continue being seen as the party that will protect America, they need to get back to basics and realize that putting a country that doesn't like us in charge of our port security is the wrong thing to do.  It's like the UN putting Libya on the committee that oversees human rights.  It makes ZERO sense.  If Republicans cannot use their majority in Washington to stop this UAE deal, then perhaps they don't deserve to be in control anymore.  I think this could be one of THE ISSUES that alot of people who are on the fence will remember.  They could very well use their vote in future elections to punish candidates that support this UAE company.

I don't know about you, but I remember just a few short years ago that President Bush "...looked into Vladimir Putin's eyes..." and saw a soul he could trust.  Wrong George.  Old habits die hard and much like the UAE, Putin is only our friend to our face.  Behind our back, however, he has gone out of his way to be un-helpful to the U.S.... joining France's efforts against us before the Iraq war, even going as far as to befriend Hammas and help Iran get nukes.  Even a so-called Western ally like France actually hates America.  Saudi Arabia is our supposed ally too, yet they are the world's largest exporter of terror.  They teach radical islam in their schools and some members of their royal family were found to have financial links to terror.  But they're "officially" our friends ... right.  Hey, why don't we put the Saudis in charge of our airport security?  Can you say 9/11?  Is President Bush truly so naive as to think that the UAE can be trusted to protect our national security interests?

Bush said that we have to be right 100% of the time and the terrorists only have to get lucky once.  He was absolutely correct.  This could be that "once".  Just like he was wrong to trust Putin, Bush is wrong again regarding the UAE.  And this time, I honestly fear I will live to see the day that our country realizes what a huge mistake we made by allowing our port security to be handled by a foreign country that doesn't like us.

Why doesn't Bush get it?  Even Hillary Clinton and most Democrats get that this is a dumb idea.  Of course, Jimmy Carter agrees with Bush and thinks this deal will be okay ... that should be a MAJOR clue that we need to stop the deal immediately!

Who'd a thought it would be a stupid Republican that pissed me off bad enough to finally start this blog!  Thank you President Bush for motivating me...I'm proud to finally have my blog up.  Unfortunately, I've never been so ashamed to be a Bush supporter as I am today.
