They’re blurring the lines. Don’t give a rat’s azz who the Sec Gen of the U.N. is or what they think.

Whoever gets elected will be a careholder until the True SecGen, Barack Hussein Obama, takes the position.

Trying to give legitimacy to the UN as a global authority. Don’t fall for it.

Get the US out of the UN, and the UN out of the US.

Don’t we hear rumours (now and then) about The One being considered for that job after he leaves office or is my memory not serving me properly in this instance?

My question: Free markets, respect for private property and liberalized trade have lifted billions of people out of poverty. We are approaching a world in which poverty will be the exception, not the rule. How do you propose reforming the “left-behind” regions such as sub-Saharan Africa and the Arab world that seem culturally unable adjust to modernity?

““Have something that you want to ask the Secretary General candidates? “

Yeah,,, you have two choices for relocating the UN HQ. Which do you prefer? Soweto or Mogaidishu.

UNexit!

Mogadishu. I throw myself on the carpet and beg forgiveness for any previous misspellings. However, I do not ask forgiveness for my question.

““Have something that you want to ask the Secretary General candidates?”

Or maybe, which of you will throw the US out of the UN? And then move the UN to, say, a nice climate like the south of France?

Exactly. Great post, Paulie. UNaccountable bureaucrats are socialists. DEFUND/DISMANTLE/DESTROY (when necessary) socialist/totalitarian collectives, foreign and domestic.
