MY SAY: ONE MORE FROM BARRY GOLDWATER
Goldwater fought in 1971 to stop US funding of the United Nations after the People’s Republic of China was admitted to the organization. He said:
“I suggested on the floor of the Senate today that we stop all funds for the United Nations. Now, what that’ll do to the United Nations, I don’t know. I have a hunch it would cause them to fold up, which would make me very happy at this particular point. I think if this happens, they can well move their headquarters to Peking or Moscow and get ‘em out of this country.”
What would he say of the UN today? Well I don’t know if he cussed but “international chickensh-ts” sounds about right.
P.S. When my husband and father voted for Goldwater in 1964 I was appalled….that was then…rsk
