Rotten At Our Core! {How the UN is Losing Support Across the City)

Roy Goodman, the $161,000-a-year CEO of the state's United Nations Development Corp., sees the project as a "win-win proposition" - with the city getting "the economic stimulus of a whole lot of construction jobs" and the UN having "a lovely, secure building."

This old tool is mostly responsible for turning the NYC Republican Party into the RINO joke that it has become. I'm pretty sure it was Bloomberg who appointed him to some useless commission or other, taking him out of the New York County party chairmanship and the state senate, thus Bloomberg's greatest accomplishment as mayor.

More pointedly, state Sen. Serphin Maltese, a Queens Republican, said the UN "has evolved into an anti-Israel, anti-Semitic group of petty, sniping bigots who are pursuing an anti-freedom, anti-democratic, anti-American agenda."

Can't say it any better than that.

On Friday I saw Geraldine Ferraro defend the UN and the multi-billion dollar heist with the Oil for Food program scandal. I makes my blood boil to think that democrats could not care less about the massive human rights violations that occurred while the their UN liberal buddies stole money.

Forget about it!.....Run the dogs out.....

I'd say everything is coming together in such a way so that we can make our new stadium on the UN land.

"The Bush administration has lambasted Secretary General Kofi Annan for his opposition to the war in Iraq and refusal to cooperate with House and Senate probes of the oil-for-food program, which allegedly funneled $21 million into Saddam Hussein's pockets."

The writer missed it by a factor of 1,000.

I believe it is $21 billion.

>But the UN does not believe in the war on terror, and I find it nervy...

Sure they do. It's just that, in their eyes, "we" are the terror that they are at war with.

"To think that the U.N. will allow us the last word on anything is absurd. To think that the U.N. would allow us the last word on the "legitimacy" of the Iraq war is to misunderstand the U.N. in the most profound sense. It is a mechanism to constrain America, not to cooperate with it in defense of freedom. The sooner we realize that, the sooner we will win the war against terrorists and the states that sponsor them. That can happen soon after we leave the U.N. to its errant ways, and get on with bidness."

To the Dems, not all humans are created equal. In fact the only people I see the Dems willing to stick their necks out for these days are Islamists. All others need not apply.

Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) [said] "a wonderful opportunity to stick it in the eye of these bastards."

AMEN BROTHER!

I'll read the rest later.

Will this issue become Manhattan's own People's Park?

[NYC GOP Chick]

And to think that she was once a major party candidate for Vice President!

[NYC GOP Chick]

Excellent idea! :)

I haven't been to NYC since I was a HS sophomore, but I'm willing to get behind the cause. Save Robert Moses Park! Someone should look into using the Historic Preservation Act or something to tie up any proposed building...

I think it's time to cut those UN bastards off at the knees. No more parking fines. The cars are towed to an impound yard and there they will sit until all fines levied against that auto are paid in full. Better yet, any car that has outstanding fines should just be towed this Monday morning. End of that problem.

We should not give another single dime to that corrupt organization until Annan is tossed out on his ass and all the rest of the garbage taken out. Any outstanding loans to the UN become "payable now in full". Don't like it? MOVE. I hear Haiti is nice this time of year. Same here.

It's time that someone put their foot down. If we had waited for the UN to get off their collective asses regarding Hussein and Iraq, he would probably have nukes by now and would be looking for an opportunity to lob them at Israel. The US, UK and Austrailia took the bull by the horns in Iraq. It is time the US took the bull by the horns here. As far as I am concerned, the UN is a cancer festering in our country. The sooner it is removed, the better off we will be.

Being seen as anti-semitic in a town like NYC that has a very large Jewish population is like being seen as a white supremicist living in the middle of Harlem. Not the smartest place to be. I guess the UN is too stupid to actually see that. Glad to see we have Democrats and Republicans alike speaking out against these a$$holes.

Rant off.

I'll suggest a name: Reagan Stadium.

The UN is the closest thing liberals have to their own Temple. It expresses their one-worlder, anti-American ambitions, and they worship it blindly. Too bad there is no Jesus at hand to throw out the money-changers.

[Libloather]

Proponents of the $25 million plan are trying to convince state legislators to approve a process that could end with the UN building a 35-story office tower where Robert Moses Park now stands.

Build it in Baghdad. Plenty of land and allies all over that place. And who would protect it? That's right - the UN...

More pointedly, state Sen. Serphin Maltese, a Queens Republican, said the UN "has evolved into an anti-Israel, anti-Semitic group of petty, sniping bigots who are pursuing an anti-freedom, anti-democratic, anti-American agenda."

Kudos! Maltese isn't falcon around.

Some years ago, in a puckish moment, I proposed releasing a few billion ball bearings or marbles in the top floor of the UN building. This would make life suitably difficult for UN bureaucrats and turn the whole building into a pachinko machine.
