Bolton...Bad Boy of the U.N.
Let me start out by saying it's the beginning of a holiday weekend and I really haven't done much research on this topic. So sue me. But what I have done has led me to the same results. The Democrats don't like John Bolton because he's not nice to people. They say he's mean, rude and has yelled at people who worked for him. (I wonder how many glass houses are shattering at this moment) So he's yelled at his employees. What lawyer hasn't. Didn't you know, there's a required class in law school. It's called arrogance and condescension. I've worked with enough lawyers to know this. (19 years worth). Now to be fair, you have your exceptions and I was fortunate to work with some. But as a whole, they can be hard to work with. Hell, I've worked in a firm where an attorney threw an object at a fellow paralegal. And for the record, I wasn't the paralegal because the attorney is still breathing.
So Bolton isn't the nicest guy in the world. Well maybe that's what we need representing us in the U.N. Maybe we need someone who will stand up and yell and even throw a few things around. What we don't need is a Pollyanna yes man. The U.N. is out of control with the oil for food scandal and the Congo sex scandal. We need someone who will go in there and kick ass and not even worry about taking names.
A happy Memorial Day to all,

Are you sure we don't like him because it's mean? I thought it was cuz he looks like he is one wrestler away from being a Dupont..but I could be wrong. I didn't get my internal memo on why all Democrats dislike Bolton.

It's about time that the liberals in this country realize that no amount of ass-kissing around the world will make folks like us any better. Their approach just epitomizes the weakness the rest of the world wants to see in us. I know it sounds a little like the cowboy most of the world thinks we are, but we have lost several opportunities to turn some areas of the world into a prehistoric terrain that a damned buzzard would have to carry a lunch to fly over. And when asked why we did it we should just say "They pissed us off." It wouldn't take many firm actions to send the signal that is it not a good idea to mess with us. We don't need dancing at the U N, we need some ass kicking!.
