YOUR Money Well Spent

You fund the United Nations.

Perhaps you were not aware, but 5 BILLION of your hard-earned tax dollars are shuttled to the UN every year.

What do you feel you receive for your kind contribution?

In the shadow of the 61st General Assembly, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan felt it was time to, in his farewell speech (10 years as S-G), lay the burden of the world's entire ills at the feet of the Israelis.

As long as the Palestinians live under occupation, exposed to daily frustration and humiliation; and as long as Israelis are blown up in buses and in dance-halls: so long will passions everywhere be inflamed," he said.

So you see, it is those horrible JEWS who are solely responsible for the ills of the world.

Ooops, side-rant coming. . .

On that tack, Republican Senator George Allen was excoriated for being a (huge intake of air here!) -- dare I write it -- JEW! From Hugh Hewitt's blog:

George Allen and Jim Webb had another debate yesterday. Probably to the relief of many of you, I did not get to see it. But from the clip I did see, and the clip that everyone will see, Allen walked away from this fray the big winner. After running a sub-par campaign and his dreadful appearance on Sunday’s “Meet the Press,” Allen caught a huge break, a break that will likely turn the momentum of the race in his direction.

One of the panelists, a woman named Peggy Fox, asked Allen, “It has been reported your grandfather Felix, whom you were given your middle name for, was Jewish. Could you please tell us whether your forebears include Jews and, if so, at which point Jewish identity might have ended?”

The crowd booed, and rightly so. Allen responded with angry indignation, again rightly so. And, I must say, he looked good doing so. The problem with a politician as programmed as George Allen is he often appears phony. This question showed the real man, and it was the best I’ve seen him look during the campaign.

JUDEN! JUDEN!

-- "When did you stop beating your wife?"
-- "How long have you been a JEW?"

Back to the UN. . .

Admadinnerjacket said at the UN yesterday that the US was behind the Hezbollah-Israel War and questioned the legitimacy of the Security Council itself. "Is it appropriate to expect this generation to submit to[to the Security Council]?" Further, Dinnerjacket said:

I emphatically declare that today's world more than ever before longs for just and righteous people with love for all humanity, and above all longs for the perfect, righteous human being and the real savior who has been promised to all peoples and who will establish justice, peace and brotherhood on the planet. [The Twelfth Imam] Oh Almighty God, all men and women are your creatures and you have ordained their guidance and salvation. Bestow upon humanity that thirst for justice, the perfect human being promised to all by you, and make us among his followers among those who strive for his return and his cause.

Huh. I wonder what would have occurred had a Christian invoked God publically before the UN? A coup? Sanctions? Escorted out of the building by armed security personnel, forthwith?

Ah! Your tax dollars at work.
