29. Bolton: Biggest Phony of All, for UN.
John Bolton is being cast as some kind of anti-UN patriot. As soon as I learned he was a CFR member, I knew that couldn't be true. When something looks too good to be true, it usually is. Bush would never nominate someone who is truly anti-UN/NWO. This is (Big) "Brother" Bush at his best, painting a staunch New World Order lackey as an anti-UN zealot. And Conservatives will swallow it readily.
Maybe he once was genuine, but if he was, certainly now he's aboard the Bush train heading America towards the cliff.

Bolton vows 'close partnership' at UN, says it plays 'critical role'
Tue Apr 12, 4:23 AM ET
U.S. National - AFP WASHINGTON (AFP) - Under fire from Democratic lawmakers, John Bolton, the controversial nominee to be the next US ambassador to the United Nations, pledged at his confirmation hearing here to strengthen US relations with the world body.
"If confirmed, I pledge to fulfill the president's vision of working in close partnership with the United Nations," said Bolton, who was nominated last month by President George W. Bush to succeed John Negroponte.
TG: He says he wants to work closely with the UN, not to eradicate the UN.
"Now more than ever, the UN must play a critical role as it strives to fulfill the dreams, the hope and aspiration of its original promise," said Bolton, who faced tough questioning from Democrats over his past scornful statements about the world body.
TG: The UN MUST play a critical role, he says? Remember, The UN's "original" promise was a WORLDWIDE COMMUNIST OLIGARCHY. Virtually every founder of the UN were hardened Communists, mostly Soviets. Their "original promise" was anti-God, anti-American, anti-gun, pro-abortion, pro-sodomy, and totalitarian to the core.
"The United States is committed to the success of the United Nations, and we view the UN as an important component of our diplomacy," Bolton told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
TG: We must be committed to the SUCCESS of the UN? Read the above again to see what would be "success" for the UN.
"If confirmed, I look forward to working closely with this committee to forge a stronger relationship between the United States and the United Nations, which depends critically on American leadership," he added.
TG: A STRONGER relationship with an anti-American group we should get out of altogether?
Bolton told US lawmakers that he had received words of support for his candidacy from UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. "He said, 'get yourself confirmed quickly'," Bolton told the committee summing up a brief recent phone conversation with Annan.
TG: Why would Kofi Annan want Bolton confirmed quickly if he is really anti-UN? If Bush and Kofi both recommend him, he MUST be a New Worlder. How can Republican, conservatives, and Christians be so stupid to ignore that?
Considered by supporters to be a brilliant policy analyst, Bolton's hawkish leanings and past criticism of the United Nations have led critics to say he is ill-suited for the UN job.
"Frankly, I'm surprised that the nominee wants the job, given all the negative things you've said about it," said the panel's top Democrat, Senator Joe Biden. "Some have said that sending you to the UN would be like sending Nixon to China. I'm afraid it would be more like sending a bull into a china shop," Biden added, referring to former president Richard Nixon.
Senator John Kerry, the former Democratic presidential hopeful, had equally harsh words for the nominee. "John Bolton is the wrong choice to serve as America's voice at the United Nations," Kerry said in a statement. "Mr. Bolton's diplomatic tin ear and penchant for hostile rhetoric have hurt America's interests. "His hostility to the UN itself makes him an unlikely person to lead the strong alliances the White House now says we need to address our common threats," he said.
The rough treatment of Bolton by Democrats was in keeping with the grillings endured by other Bush nominees in his second term, including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
But the questioning was decidedly tougher at Bolton's hearing, with all of the panel's Democratic members expected to vote against him. Because of the Republican majority on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Bolton is nevertheless expected to win its endorsement and his nomination sent to the floor of the Republican-majority Senate for approval.
In some of the toughest questioning, liberal Democrat Barbara Boxer threw Bolton's own words back at him, playing a video of a conference more than a decade ago at which he said that if the UN headquarters in New York "lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference."
"This nominee can do lots of other things for President Bush and do them really well," Boxer said. "I just don't see this. It just doesn't make sense."
Bolton, 56, undersecretary of state for arms control and international security affairs for the past four years, has repeatedly said the UN is corrupt and ineffective. But at Monday's hearing he insisted the statements did not fully portray his views.
"A lot of those statements are not accurate reflections of what I said ... I was quoted out of context," he said.
As Bush's pointman on arms control, Bolton has been a sharp critic of North Korea and other hardline regimes.
He was a strong advocate of the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. Last month some 60 former US diplomats sent a letter to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee opposing Bolton's nomination.
But five Republican former US secretaries of state this month lobbied on his behalf, urging the Senate to confirm him. The signatories of that letter were James Baker, Lawrence Eagleburger, Alexander Haig, Henry Kissinger and George Shultz (TG: ALL CFR members). Notably absent was Bush's first secretary of state, Colin Powell, who was Bolton's boss.
The hearing was briefly interrupted by demonstrators denouncing Bolton's nomination. They were quickly escorted from the hearing room.
-------------------------------------
29 B. Bolton Bared.
Why should we be committed to the success of a Communist infested, anti-gun, anti-Christian, pro-abortion, pro-queer, New World Order organization?
But Bolton continues:
"Now more than ever, the UN must play a critical role as it strives to fulfill the aspirations of its original promise."
Remember, the UN's "original" promise was a WORLDWIDE COMMUNIST OLIGARCHY. Virtually every founder of the UN were hardened Communists, mostly Soviets. Their "original promise" was anti-God, anti-gun, pro-abortion, pro-sodomy, and totalitarian to the core.
Bolton wants to "strengthen" the UN and make it "more efficient". A stronger, more efficient organization that opposes everything America has traditionally stood for.
How did this guy ever get a reputation as an anti-UN crusader? Conservatives are so gullible and naive to accept anyone who calls himself a Republican.
