Borking Bolton
By Jennifer King
April 25, 2005
John Bolton, nominated by President Bush to become the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, has been under a vicious assault by the united forces of the Left and the Democrat Party. Bolton has been a vocal critic of the U.N. and could be counted upon to stand up for American interests there. This does not suit our internationalist friends at all - they view American power with alarm and believe, as Madeleine Albright once said that, "it is not good for America to be the lone superpower".
The major media is trying to portray opposition to the Bolton nomination as a rising groundswell emanating from the general public. Nothing could be further from the truth. Instead, we find a variety of well-funded radical groups and the usual polyglot assortment of perpetual grievance whiners.
Citizens for Global Solutions and the Friends Committee on National Legislation are two of the groups leading the opposition. CGS is the U.S. arm of the World Federalist Association, an association which advocates one-world government and global taxes - which would, of course, fall disproportionately on Americans. Hopelessly corrupt Kofi Annan and the cabal of anti-American, anti-Semitic thugocracies which make up the United Nations heartily concur with this position.
The Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) is a pacifist group which has been opposed to all actions in the War on Terrorism. According to links on their website, their solution to 9/11 would have been to "stand our ground and reach out with love." FCNL even gave an award to Democrat Barbara Lee, due to her sole "no" vote on the authorization for the U.S. to go to war in Afghanistan.
Two of the groups opposing Mr. Bolton are linked directly to wealthy rabble-rousing Bush hater George Soros. On April 4th, Morton Halperin, executive director of the Soros-funded Open Society Policy Institute, spoke at an anti-Bolton press conference. Halperin also serves as senior vice-president for the Center for American Progress, whose affiliate the American Progress Fund is signed on to the bash Bolton campaign. Halperin is also a former associate of CIA defector and Castro collaborator Philip Agee.
A few organizations favorable to the United Nations are likewise on board. The Leadership Council of the New America Foundation is affiliated, through its chairman, with the United Nations Association of the United States of America (UNA-USA). UNA-USA reports getting funding from the AARP, the Bank of China and BNP Paribas, which is the French bank that held more than $60 billion for the corrupt "Oil for Fraud" U.N. program.
The "Peace Action" group resulted from the merger of the groups "Sane" and the "Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign". This group opposed any action in Afghanistan and Iraq, and responded to the attacks of September 11th by preaching that Americans should seek "justice not war". Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, who favored the establishment of a federal "Department of Peace" received a 100 percent rating from them.
Physicians for Social Responsibility is a member of the "Win Without War" coalition, which is opposed to the Iraq War. Soros-funded Moveon.org is another key member. The group's public relations firm was Fenton Communications, a business which represented Soros on his Bush-bashing tour. Fenton was also the PR firm which produced an anti-Alberto Gonzalez ad. In the 1980s, Fenton represented the Communist Sandinistas in Nicaragua.
The Union of Concerned Scientists was represented at the anti-Bolton press conference by Jonathan Dean, listed as an "Adviser on Global Security Issues." Dean is a past president of the pro-U.N. group, the United Nations Association of the National Capital Area. Dean's bio declares that he was a participant in the "Hague Appeal for Peace Conference." The HAPC advocated the "creation of standing U.N. peace forces" and their funding through "alternative sources of finance."
The president of HAPC is Cora Weiss, who, in the 1970s, organized demonstrations against the Vietnam War and who met with Communist leaders in Hanoi. Weiss contacted the families of POWs, telling them that she could shuttle letters and information between the POWs and their families - but the families would have to publicly denounce the war first. The families refused.
Unmasked, it appears that those so virulently opposed to the Bolton nomination are nothing more than the usual suspects. They have been fighting against American power and American interests since the 1960s. It is high time that they were exposed as the anti-Americans that they are.

I have seen posts by these trolls, and in a minute or so after the post. They have been branded as trolls and sometimes zotted before I could even post.
Our tolerance towards these $oreA$$ funded brownshirted trolls is at about a minus 10.
The $oreA$$ pimps who hired this troll, should ask for their money back. Moderate is truly worthless and so transparent and visible.
Well, I'm a read-meat conservative and am deeply concerned that you're such a limp-wristed, one-worlder gun-fearing pansy-assed chicken chocking globalist metrosexual twinkie-addled Subaru driving Starbucks-sipping Dixie Chicks-admiring Gerald Ford-resembling John McCain-channelling Republican in Name Only conservative in no way whatsoever nitwit.
But other than that, you might be OK...
At least this one writes in complete sentences and can use the spellcheck feature.

Yeah, the internet trolling equivalent of a monkey banging two rocks together and hooting.
When they upgrade to 'flying squirrel smacking into car windshield' they will have improved.
George Voinovich, is that you?
LOOK AT ME! I'VE CHOSEN A CONSPICUOUSLY LAME SCREEN NAME.
HUZZA!!!
..... I am a moderate republican and am deeply concerned that the White House would nominate such a dangerous extremist to such and important post. He might be OUR extremist, but in a world where moderation is a value, he should be soundly rejected.Welcome to FreeRepublic.com.
I predict a short stay for you here at FR.
You may want to NOT unpack your bags. :)
"Moderate" Republican = RINO / LIBERAL, etc.
ModerateVoter: "Hey look at me! I can do handstands in the sand! Look at me! Look at me! Look at*Rogue wave*"
Are you still here? It looks like most of us don't share your view that "moderation is a value". In fact, moderation is a lack of commitment. In some ways it is worse than extremism. Someone committed to moderation might feel (they don't actually think or believe things, they feel them) that sometimes 2+2=4 but other times 2+2=5, and other times 2+2=3, but to define truth so narrowly that 2+2=4 all the time is too extreme. As for Bolton's comment that the top 10 stories of the UN building could disappear without much of an impact, that was a creative way of pointing out how useless the UN has become, much like the UN itself demonstrated with its impotent response to Iraq's 14 years of flouting resolution after resolution. A moderate response to the UN is not something to be valued.
What dirtboy said!!!
Sorry I missed this ZOT thread. I had other "stuff" to do. You know how it is. Being an important moderate Republican and all.
LOL!
Who knew that Voinovich posted here?
He's dead Meek!
