Lee and Mahmoud...

My latest article at Family Security Matters:

His request “was denied for reasons of security and safety.” Why wasn’t it denied on the grounds of common decency? A spokesman for the National Security Council in the White House made the understatement of the year when he said, "It seems odd that the president of a country that is a state sponsor of terror would visit ground zero." It also seems odd that the same president would be welcome at the U.N., an organization that is supposedly in existence to foster peace and harmony throughout the world. But who am I kidding? This is the same U.N. that once welcomed Cuba onto its Human Rights Council and made Saddam Hussein’s coffers spill over during a period of sanctions against Iraq, thanks to its highly corrupt Oil for Food program.

This is yet another reason why we should consider not only withdrawing our membership from the U.N., but kicking them out of New York and letting some other sap of a country host them. Not only would NYC no longer have to worry about millions of dollars’ worth of unpaid parking fines, but we as a nation wouldn’t have to babysit a bunch of people who make no bones about how much they despise the United States. Plus, think of how much money we’ll save by not having to pay membership dues! (Don’t worry; Democrats will think of new ways to spend it. A penny saved is a penny spent.)

Be sure to read the whole thing.
