I don’t know. I’m just saying that history shows that you can only push people so far. It is dangerous to keep pushing.

John Bolton could only do what he was allowed to do.

Exactly, the problem wasn’t with John Bolton it was with GWB. Let’s just make sure that there are no more Bushes! Jeb needs to find another line of work.

One more sortie for the USS New Jersey.
Fire up the boilers
Scrounge up some 16 inch shells
Sail down the Delaware, round Cape May, up the Jersey Shore, past Sandy Hook, through the Verrazano Narrow, take a right at the Battery.
A, B, and X turrets to port.

No thanks, envy-obsessed, talentless international Commies, our “own” domestic, utterly useless Ivy League career government drones via the EPA, the Department of Energy and plain old, odoriferous lawyering in general, are in the process of destroying once great America.

They don't need any of your help.

US Foreign Aid recipients and voting at the United Nations

Snip: Since 2000 about 95 percent of U.N. member states that receive U.S. assistance have voted against the United States most of the time in the U.N. General Assembly on non-consensus votes…..

"How in the crqp can they do that?"

This isn't new. Many of us have been screaming about it for years, but our voices are few and we are often ridiculed as being kooks.

While everyone was busy watching American Idol and Monday Night Football the U.N. has been busy going about their business with the help of our congress. The red dots below indicate U.N. Biosphere reserves in America that are now being expanded by adding buffer zones around them where private property will soon be taken by International Eminent Domain.

And our disillustrious Congress does nothing, as usual.

Now, THAT would be cooler than Spit! Blow the friggin’ UN all the heck and gone. Bye, bye. No more dues, no more of their crap. We have better ways of spying now.

They used to make those shells at the McAlester Naval Ammunition Depot. I know where there are two of them still by the entrance gate at the city airport.

I think they’d be well advised to move their HQ to some other country before the try this. I also think that they’re too arrogant to take the advice, which in this case is not necessarily a bad thing.

WOW, a tax from the UN, color me shocked!

Any, and I mean any morally bankrupt POS legislator who vote to allow this should be ridden out of DC on a rail, and his dog kicked, not real hard, and not shot (police take notice)....

We will only be able to defeat them when they send the blue helmets in after us. When they feel the heat... they will surrender and the UN will send us a strongly worded letter.

Lets hope that Romney makes Bolton Sec of State or at least puts him back in the UN, IF we still are a member.

You should see what maps of land ownership in Arizona or Nevada look like.

“Lets hope that Romney makes Bolton Sec of State or at least puts him back in the UN, IF we HAVE TO BE a member.”

In my opinion, John Bolton is a stellar statesman. Romney should reappoint him and give him a lot of leeway.
