John Bolton Bolts UN. Should US Follow?

Have W.A.C.K.I.E., and H.U.A.P., won round 1 in the fight the Free World faces?

2 Blogs, 2 entries in the debate over John Bolton as Americas UN Ambassador:

Steve Frank, of California Political News writes:

The United States deserves the best representation at the United Nations. We need a UN ambassador that speaks for freedom and truth. One who will stand for reform and end the corruption of oil for food, nepotism, cover ups of rapes and massacres by UN troops.

That man is the current Ambassador, John Bolton. Yet the Democrats will not allow a vote, up and down on this man. The votes to approve are present. What they don’t want is the current strong voice at the UN, they want the whiny "Yes, America is always wrong, hit us again" voice.

He posts an article by Suzanne Fields that is blistering, and says among other things:

Our ambassadors to the United Nations have often been forced into isolation, to defend the United States from attacks by nations whose only contribution to the debate is insignificance, envy and hypocrisy. The likes of Adlai Stevenson, Jeane Kirkpatrick and Daniel Patrick Moynihan were powerfully eloquent defenders, and their rhetorical flourishes have recently found voice in John Bolton, whose recess appointment expires in January. President Bush has resubmitted the nomination, but despite what everyone says is his good job, he’s unlikely even to get an up-or-down vote in the new, kinder, gentler Democratic Senate.

If the senators were to re-examine his record in the spirit of what we’re told is the less partisan Democratic Congress, instead of preening with outdated cynicism, they could demonstrate that they mean what they say about eliminating cheap and thoughtless partisanship.

All this support from them, and the commentors to the post is seemingly for naught, now though....

News comes, this morning, that Bolton has resigned, and will not fight to stay on.

We are losing a staunch, devoted defender of America’s interests at the U.N. and this sickens me because the Far Left, enemies of American Interests abroad, and the cleaning up of the United Nations, will crow with delight, and Bush will almost certainly have to pick a eprson more to their liking, and even if he picks a strong candidate they approve that person will be deeply weakened as a force for good at the United NAtions.

Stop the ACLU has a strong collection of reactions from around the Blogosphere ( Also see comments and Trackbacks for more. ), including this one from Michelle Malkin ( Check out the Trackbacks to her piece, for more reaction from around the Blogosphere. ):

Reacting to the news, Eleanor Clift chuckled on Fox News that Bush is just “recognizing reality.”

If the White House thinks throwing in the towel and throwing Bolton overboard will appease the Dems or the U.N., it doesn’t know what reality is.

HOT AIR has VIDEO, updates, and lots of reaction in the comments, and Trackbacks.

What Americans, and all friends of America, need is a their own dose of reality.

They can start by taking the time to explore the 2 new collections of links, in my right sidebar, dealing with Illegal Immigration, and the threat of  Radical Islam.

Since the Republican Leadership seems to be throwing in the towel it is important for Americans, and all friends of freedom, and democracy, to open their eyes, pay the hell attention, and speak out.

I have frequently done so now, for 4+ years, from this very humble little corner of the Blogosphere, and am gearing up for the next 2 years of struggle, and hope others like me, toiling quietly, and almost unknown, in the vineyards, will join me.

As I wrote to the Left, and to Ameica's enemies abroad, in the wee hours of this morning:

After something of a quiet year, as far as reports are concerned, FWAP!!  ( The Fighting W.a.c.k.i.e. All-over Project ) is gearing up for the next 2 years that will be the 2008 Election Season, and your attempts to brand me as a Racist, and a Hatemonger will only show how ignorant, and hateful YOU, and your Comrades, are, and how deeply entrenched you are in the bowels of the wrong side of these vital issues.
