My Favorite Senator Smack the UN in the Face, and Related UN News

That's right, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), noted pork fighter, pretty much bitch slapped the UN by posting this masterpiece on his official website:

U.N. Watch

Outstanding Sen. Coburn! Is there anyone in the Senate as great as you are? You are tied with Sen. Sununu with the highest rating among Porkbusters for fighting and opposing government waste. You are a warrior in the Senate, a true fighter for the American people. Take a good while and read everything on that page.

Let's also look at what the ineffective Left Wing (why, how those terms are synonymous) United Nations is doing currently. Ah, playing the world's smallest violin because they want more money from the United States tax payers. Here are some of the reasons why the UN needs some more money:

Ban listed "difficult diplomatic and security challenges" in Sudan, Lebanon, Somalia, Myanmar and the Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as longer-term tasks of combating poverty, climate change and HIV/AIDS and defending human rights.

Ha ha ha. Really, that has to be a joke. What exactly are they doing in Sudan besides blocking international forces from going in and stopping the genocide being perpetrated by Islamic radicals. What are they doing in Lebanon besides helping to stop the investigation into the terrorist Syrian regime from assassinating pro-democracy leaders? What are they doing so well in Somalia that the food and aid they were supposed be distributing for quite some time lasted all of two days before the food chief was illegally arrested and detained without UN protection? Where was the UN quickly assembling peace keepers amongst all the nations that were outraged, especially the USA, when the monks in Myanmar were getting gunned down?

Get my point here? Now of course, the UN would love to not have to rely on the US for all of its funding in particular, as my candidate of choice Mike Huckabee masterfully reminded us all at the last debate. For those of you unaware of why our sovereignty is at stake, and if you wanted to ignore the other links, you really, really need to read this link. Here's a snippet:

Approval of the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), a 25-year-old international treaty regulating use of the world’s oceans, is steaming ahead in the Senate, where committee hearings have been scheduled to begin on Sept. 27.

Among other provisions, UNCLOS would levy a tax on members’ undersea operations, requiring nations to pay up to 7 percent of their sea-mining revenues.

There are some 400 million barrels of oil and large untapped reserves of natural gas and crystallized methane in underwater areas claimed by the U.S., and the taxes levied by the U.N.’s International Seabed Authority (ISA) would soar into the billions of dollars, according to Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla.

So yea, it's that serious. Kudos once again to Gov. Huckabee for reminding the public what the uber-left Senate is trying to sneak past our electorate. We can do without the UN and their hard left agenda that's for damn sure.

G-Dub Goes on the Offensive at UN for Human Rights, Democracy

The moonbats of course see this more as "Emperor George" running amuck at the UN, but really has their Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS) really run this far? President Bush is absolutely in the right to call out the situation in Myanmar and the cause of human dignity and freedom world wide. Many Liberals feel shocked that he would have the audacity to call out the UN while at the General Assembly, but the reality is, where better to call them out? The UN, for as biased and ineffective as it is, is the absolute correct place for President Bush to stand in front of the world audience and defend human rights, dignity, and freedom. Who can fault any man for uttering these words in front of the world, testifying to rights of all people of all nations:

"The nations in this chamber have our differences, yet there are some areas where we can all agree," Bush said. "When innocent people are trapped in a life of murder and fear, the declaration is not being upheld. When millions of children starve to death or perish from a mosquito bite, we're not doing our duty in the world. When whole societies are cut off from the prosperity of the global economy, we're all worse off."

"Changing these underlying conditions is what the declaration calls the work of larger freedom and it must be the work of every nation in this assembly," he said. "This great institution must work for great purposes: to free people from tyranny and violence, hunger and diseases, illiteracy and ignorance and poverty and despair."

This is absolute truth and yet, criticisms of our President run deep. How is it that the Liberal hatred of our leader, on a personal level as much as political, can trump his outright protection of the Myanmar people, where the situation has gotten so bad that the monks in that nation have now been met with deadly force for speaking out for human freedom? Indeed, curfews have been imposed, and the right to assembly simply does not exist in this section of Southeast Asia. This is precisely the time to stand with the world's people and demand freedom. What is it with those so blinded by pure lunacy that they see fit to stand against our President when he is defending human freedom in so many places all across the world? The world is doing their absolute best to ignore what is happening in Myanmar, and President Bush is taking the world, rightfully, to task for ignoring their plight. He is to be applauded, he is being a true leader.

Similarly, watching those students at Columbia cheer for everything that Ahmadinejad said was horrible. Watching this horrible display of Liberal lunacy was one of the worst things I have ever seen in my life. Here is this man, a Holocaust denier, a bigot, a murderer, a terrorist, a man who has threatened genocide, is murdering our troops, and is actively seeking nuclear weapons for use against Israel being applauded by students in an Ivy League school. The only time those moonbat fools booed him was for his saying that there was no gays in Iran. State policy of the Iranians under the Ahmandinejad and Ruhollah Khomeni. They will murder and torture anyone who is not their model person for Iranian society. Oh yea, Ahmadinejad is also a truther. He was shocked today when the wife of an Israeli he had kidnapped confronted him face to face. Kudos to President Bush for seeking new sanctions against the tyrannical regime of Iran. It is also to commended that he is voicing and showing his commitment to Afghanistan. He and President Karzai touted the successes in Afghanistan today as well.

So for all the hatred of President Bush, the BDS that is fully on display nearly every day by the Left Wing in this nation, they cannot overlook their personal hatred of our President in order to advance the cause of human freedom. Indeed, the hard left has the same reaction (and in reality, much worse in many instances) than the Cuban delegation at the UN when challenged to defend human freedom, as the Left in our nation is doing to our soldiers what the Cuban delegates did when confronted with the challenge of promoting freedom:
