[… please wait while I scan around the Internet … counting hands …]

Hmmmm, that was easy. Both of you can put your hands down now.

Not a scientific survey, you say? Balderdash! The only raised hands belonged to Barack D’ohbama and John Kerry and we know that they both had designs on taking the Ruler of the World position. Let’s face it, the UN is about as popular in the U.S. as the proverbial turd in a punchbowl.

It’s easy to see why. Does the term “feckless” mean anything to you? One can define feckless as meaning “without feck,” and if there is any organization that is totally devoid of feck, it is the United Nations.

But let’s be clear, feckless also means: ineffectual, worthless, irresponsible, incompetent, and weak. These are not adjectives of which someone should be proud, yet they define the UN beautifully. In fact, I’m surprised that “the United Nations” wasn’t definition “3.” Under feckless.

For example, the UN Security Council met for 3 hours Sunday (April 5) and couldn’t even agree on a “Please don’t do that again,” statement to North Korea. The UN already had sanctions in place that “bar” the North from ballistic missile activity. Sunday’s missile launch was in flagrant disregard of those UN sanctions.

When apprised of his faux pas, Kim responded, “Was I not supposed to do that”? “I didn’t know – what’s a sanction?”

Pesky Truth has learned that the Council is finally close to agreement on a new sanction that would require the 5’3” “Dear Leader” Kim Jong Il to reduce his “elevator” shoe lifts from 4 inches to 3 inches.

That’ll show him.

The UN’s Security Council is supposedly charged with maintaining peace and security among countries, a task that it has performed fecklessly for years.

The UN, in a sophomoric, rose-colored, unicorn-populated world could be a valid idea. But, in its current configuration, it is worse than benign, it is a black hole of U.S. largess. The U.S. is on the hook for 22% of the UN’s current operating budget, or $922,000,000.00 - more than any other country.

And let’s not forget that sneaky Senate bill (S.2433, introduced by then-Sen. D’ohbama hisself) that authorizes a UN assessment of 0.7 % of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) over 13 years, amounting to a tax on U.S. citizens of $845,000,000,000.00 – that’s BILLIONS - that would be used to socialize the entire world (after UN officials and their families and friends skim off a few billion for themselves).

Could it be that D’ohbama has outfoxed us? Could it be that his economic policies are aimed at dramatically reducing our Gross Domestic Product so that we won’t have to give so much to the UN? Damn, he’s smarter than I thought he was – what a noble goal – reduce the TRIBUTE to the UN by flushing our GDP down the crapper – wow – what an intellect [sarc].

The U.S. already pays more of the UN’s budget than 178 of the lowest paying member states combined. Yet, under the “one state, one vote” structure, Nauru, Lesotho, Eritrea, Comoros, Benin, or Andorra all have an equal vote in the General Assembly. Is that the kind of “fair play” that the left is always harping on?

Were it not for the Security Council, the U.S. would have no more power to influence the UN than any of those aforementioned “lesser” countries. But the Security Council is hardly a useful tool since China or Russia (even France) can veto anything if it goes against their interest.

In other words, one nation state (the U.S.) is paying more of the expenses of operation than any other country, furnishing the most “peacekeepers,” and providing the headquarters in “international territory” in New York City, and has literally NO power in the General Assembly and only 20% of the power in the Security Council – and even that is subject to veto.

So, even in the unlikely event that a Security Council Resolution is issued against a “rogue” nation, it will be ignored – think Iran and North Korea. And Iraq had ignored the UN until “Cowboy” Boosh went in and enforced the resolution(s). The UN is feckless.

And, I think that history will prove that Barack Hussein D’ohbama is every bit as feckless as the UN – they’re out of the same mold.

It is for this reason that I believe that if president D’ohbama is confronted with any sort of aggressive action which ordinarily might require a military response, he will always dump the problem into the ample lap of the United Nations. This would give him “cover” and he could then respond to any question regarding his actions that he did what was necessary to achieve peace and harmony.

This is exactly what makes him so dangerous. He apparently believes that you can negotiate with terrorists and rogue governments. On that point, he is correct. You can negotiate with them – you just can’t gain anything by doing so.

Iran (and North Korea) will negotiate D’ohbama right out of his pink, polka-dotted boxers. He will concede, they will appear to, all so he can claim success. But in the end, D’ohbama will get it in his end.
