Democrats Do Not Support Strength

US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton announced that he will step down when his current term ends in a few weeks. Bolton was appointed by President Bush during a recess after the Senate failed in its duty to advise and consent and then give an up or down vote. Obstructive Democrats filibustered the nomination, as they have done with many of the President’s selections, and their objection to Bolton only means he does not stand a chance of confirmation when the Senate is controlled by the left in a few short weeks.
John Bolton is a tough guy who looks out for the interests of the United States, and that is where he rubs the Democrats the wrong way. They do not want people who will look out for our interests at the UN and would prefer someone who will agree with the UN agenda regardless of how it affects this country. The Democrats want the UN to be the nanny over this country as they [the Democrats] wish to be the nanny over its people. The UN is rife with corruption and most of the people in it spend time getting rich at the expense of those they are supposed to protect. Bolton was the guy who could have kept them honest while looking out for this country. The Democrats can have none of that.
By opposing Bolton the Democrats, and some Republicans like Lincoln Chaffee (we lost control but I am glad he is gone), have told the world we do not want to put people in the UN who will ensure what is right. There are those who question our authority to do so. The United States provides the most money to the UN and we let them have a nice place in New York. We pay the most and we should have the most say. Of course, the Democrats do not feel that way. Just as they feel the wealthiest among us should subsidize the rest of the population they feel we, as the wealthiest nation, should subsidize the UN and pick up the slack of other countries. Perhaps, the votes in the UN should be based on how much money countries pay in just like the number of votes in a company depends on how much stock one owns in that company. This would keep countries like China and Russia from stonewalling us and derailing our plans. Is it any wonder we need to go into countries to take care of business? After all, no one supports us and it is because those countries are as corrupt as the UN.
The reluctance of the Democrats to allow a man who is strong and supports our country to actually serve this country gives even more proof that they are not strong on national Security and that they do want us to go down in defeat, become subservient to the UN, or both. Two more years of obstruction and destruction, that is what the Democratic Party will give us.
