Have you ever wondered where this supposed “mentality” comes from? did all of these folks just wake up one day and “blame-America”? I’m quite well aware of the reasons, and anyone who is the least bit interested in trying to reduce the threat of terrorism should be most interested in this subject as well. Simply looking at the anger and lashing out against it without looking at the causes or grievences is at best naive, and at worst just plain ignorant and dangerous. J.K. exemplified the exact type of thinking which was guarenteed to increase the threat of terror and anti-Americanism by ignoring reality and pretending that these poor third world countries were they way they were because it was their fault, and NO the fault of the dictators who made many of them that way, not to mention her support for the murdering dictatorsd which killed FAAAAAR more than any socialist government in Latin America, Asia, etc…. I can give you a very long list of murderers who she would have made apologetics for if you wish. Most children learn by the time they’re in 2nd or 3rd grade that the might makes right approach does NOT work, and only makes most others hate you. It may work in the short term, but it doesn’t in the long term, and there’s a VERY long world history to demonstrate as much. The Roman Empire fell, and the logic which led to it’s demise is being forwarded by these very same people. JK was a vile person.kb

The former UN ambassador who spoke against the blame-America mentality constant at the UN has passed away (H/T: Michelle Malkin and The Corner)….

“Neoconservative Jeane Kirkpatrick argued in 1979 that Third World revolutions are illegitimate, the products of Soviet expansion rather than of local historical forces opposed to repressive dictatorships (Dictatorships and Double Standards). Kirkpatrick had solved the moral problem of the rollbackers: why it is fine to overthrow left-wing governments and make friends with rightist dictators. The Kirkpatrick Doctrine held that right-wing dictatorships can evolve into democratic governments while left-wing nations cannot. Under this Doctrine, Marcos, Pinochet, and P.W. Botha were leading their countries down the path of democracy. ”

This small statement of fact alone, regarding third world revolutions, shows how vile and ignorant as a stump she was.

Oh, here’s a little more about the pathetic and depraved woman:

“UN Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick described the socioeconomic provisions of the UD as “a letter to Santa Claus . . . Neither nature, experience, nor probability informs these lists of `entitlements,’ which are subject to no constraints except those of the mind and appetite of their authors.”

**For those of you who aren’t aware:
The standard codification of human rights in the modern period is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UD), adopted in December 1948 by almost all nations, at least in principle. The UD reflected a very broad crosscultural consensus. All of its components were given equal status, including “anti-torture rights,” socioeconomic rights, and others, such as those enumerated in Article 25:

Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.
These provisions have been reaffirmed in enabling conventions of the UN General Assembly and international agreements on the right to development, in almost the same words.

Yes, it’s easy to see just how caring a person she is as she thumbs her nose at the UD.
The disdain for not only the entire planet couldn’t be more clear. Sorry to have to tell you folks from the right, but SHE and her depraved ideas are exactly the kinds of disease which need to be extracted from the states so as to reduce the “terrorist threat”. If you’d like any more examples of any of her contribution to the attack on the U.S., please let me know. I’d be more than happy to send you any number of examples. She’d better hope that there’s a goddess who has a little more forgiveness than many folks on the planet do regarding such depraved behavior.kb

Monday, 9 April 1984

I was curious to meet this Anglophone harridan. She [was] adamantly, subversively pro-Galtieri during the Falklands crisis. Even up to the end she was urging Reagan to put pressure on the Prime Minister to allow the Argentine Army to leave the Islands ‘bearing arms’ (thus allowing a kind of ‘heroically these men fought the whole British Navy to a standstill’ propaganda myth to arise_, which might just, I suppose, have saved the General’s bacon domestically. The line is, she’s so clever, she’s an academic really, all that shit. . . .

Finally she appeared, a mixture between Irene Worth and Eleanor Roosevelt. Immediately began ‘putting it way.’ Halfway through the meal . . general conversation ceased and the honoured guest delivered a monologue, invited (reluctantly) questions.

Odious, totally stalinist, humourless. Trotted out the Party line, consequential sentences, no rationale at all. . . loathsome.

Mr. Thatcher’s Minister – The Private Diaries of Alan Clark, pp. 70-71.

Now, supporting the military dictatorship of Argentina over the UK. Now, that’s right-wing. Hard-core.

People like you make me wonder if we SHOULD keep abortion legal. Jeane Kirkpatrick combined class, patriotism and intellect – qualities the three of you wouldn’t know if bitten on the ass by them.

Have a miserable day.

Kirkpatrick was a staunch defender of US interests at the United Nations and was excoriated by those who thought that the Ambassador should represent UN interests in the US (a position that John Bolton knows quite intimately)….

One of the sharpest minds in politics and foreign policy, a truly great American, has passed away. Jeane Kirkpatrick, the first female Ambassador to the UN, has died. She was 80. She was never afraid to speak her mind, get things done, and cut through …

A heartful thanks to those of you who nominated OPFOR for “Best Military Blog” in this year’s Weblog Awards. As you’ll see from the finalists, breaking into this category was not easy. For those of you who’d like to send……

BTW, you’ve got my vote for the Weblog
Awards. ;)
