U.N. Forbids U.S. to Clean Up New Orleans Ghettoes

Posted by Dave Blount at February 29, 2008 8:17 AM

The same United Nations that put the socialist basket case Zimbabwe in charge of the Sustainable Development Commission has seen fit to tell Americans how we should run our country, condemning us for trying to clean up ghettoes:

Two human rights experts for the United Nations on Thursday criticized a federal plan to raze public housing projects in New Orleans, saying it will force the predominantly black residents into homelessness.
New Orleans advocates clamoring to save 4,500 public housing units claimed a victory. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which wants to replace the decades-old housing projects with mixed-income, mixed-use development, called the U.N. experts "misinformed."

"Misinformed" might be the kindest adjective that can be applied to the United Nations.

What the U.N. really needs is its own country to run, to show us all how well its enlightened leftist principles would work. Since it knows just what to do with New Orleans, why not turn the city over to U.N. jurisdiction? They can have Detroit too. That way the residents would no longer be oppressed by capitalism — though they would still no doubt live off money expropriated from hard-working Americans.
