Barbara Boxer thinks John Bolton Needs Anger Management?

Mark Steyn’s column talking about California Senator Barbara Boxer saying that she thinks John Bolton requires anger management is laughable. Considering that she thinks that fighting about your beliefs is an admirable quality. On January 6, 2005 in Washington D.C. Senator Boxer said, “For most of us in the House and in the Senate, we have spent our lives fighting for what we believe in, always fighting to make our Nation better. We may not agree from time to time, but we are always fighting to make our Nation better. We have fought for social justice. We have fought for economic justice. We have fought for environmental justice. We have fought for criminal justice.” I fully agree. From time to time we don’t agree. But we fight for what we believe in whether we are Democrats or Republicans. Senator Boxer makes it clear that angry white conservative males don’t hold the lock on the good fight. Democrats can be just as angry and fight just as hard. Some would say they are angrier and fight harder than any other group of people around. Have you heard former Vice President Al Gore or Senator Ted Kennedy give a speech recently?

My concern is why the U.S. Senate is concerned that Mr. Bolton might fight for President Bush’s beliefs over at the United Nations. Why aren’t they concerned about the entire goings on at the United Nations? How come the Senate isn’t “fighting to make” the United Nations “better”? How come the Senate hasn’t “fought for social justice” at the United Nations? How come the Senate hasn’t “fought for criminal justice” at the United Nations? Why do we hold ourselves to a higher standard than others? Where is the liberal’s moral relativism when you need it? Or is it that when it comes to a choice between loyalty to the Nation’s President, and loyalty to the foreign technocrats in the big glass box, they prefer the technocrats? Isn’t there a bit of a conflict with the oath they took when they entered office, or was that just a sort of suggestion that only applied to their own favorite causes?
