A Proper Contempt for the UN
2016-11-25
[COMMENTARYMAGAZINE] The United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
has become a cesspit of contemptible anti-Americanism that serves only to give the authoritarian nations undue influence over the course of global affairs. Its legations rewrite history so as to edit Jews out of Jerusalem. Its human rights
When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much...
commission elects by secret ballot human-rights violators like Muammar Qadaffy
...The late megalomaniac dictator of Libya, admired everywhere for his garish costumes, funny hats, harem of cutie bodyguards, and incoherent ravings. As far as is known, he is the only person who's ever declared jihad on Switzerland...
’s Libya and Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
to lead. It is the font of scandals, including abuse of the Iraqi Oil for Food program and the allegations that the UN covered up the sexual abuse of minors by peacekeepers in war zones. The United Nations regularly infringes on U.S. illusory sovereignty by imposing on it climate regulations, restrictions on maritime navigation rights, and attacks on American freedoms in the Bill of Rights.

Will Nikki Haley
...first woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At the age of 39, Haley is the youngest current governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Jindal. She is a Republican, which really grates on the Dems...
make a good ambassador to the United Nations, whatever that means? It’s difficult to say. She will, however, be a welcome departure from a corrupting culture and an important voice advising President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...

#6  Anyone thinking they can get away with treating a conservative female as "just another little brown skinned woman" has never met Haley, or Michelle Malkin. They will pay for their bias and prejudice, one way or another.

#4  In an international organization like that, there will be plenty of opportunities for people to notice her tanned skin and treat her like she's Third World second class. No chance she'll be allowed to forget the positive aspects of America vs. the rest of the world. An Indian-American friend of mine trailied her husband on an assignment in the Phillippines, and spoke unhappily about just that thing.

#3  Interesting challenge for Haley. She has one thing in common with Trump: both of them have bucked the GOP establishment in their relative areas. Perhaps this is a good sign. Hopefully she will go "Full Bolton" on the place.

#1  There's always a temptation to "go native." There is also Stockholm Syndrome. Hopefully she's better than that...
