I'm not sure that 25% is correct. Just the other day I heard it was one third.

I believe the one third is pretty close, the "arrears" every one whines and cries about is not our dues, which were paid. When the U.N. goes over budget, they come to the U.S. to pick up the tab for their overages, which we did for years whithout objection. Several years ago Congressman Roscoe Bartlett started objecting to the extortion, that is when the left in the congress, the media, and the U.N. started the rant about our arrears, and calling the U.S. a dead beat nation.

With the U.S. out of the U.N. their budget would have to be cut by 22% to 25%, and they would have no one to pay their ongoing overages. Without our money, if the U.N. survived at all, it would be reduced to a useless debating society.

Those are just the dues. We pay 30% plus of the military action fees. Add to that food and other aid, I'm betting we probably pay more like 30-40%. In an ideal world, I might not mind. Let's face it, the U.N. is a nightmare. Libya is in charge of human rights and Iraq of all people, is in charge of something related to weapons control. This is no joke, just in the last month or so.

The United States foots a quarter of the bill for that U.N paper tiger, international debating society and what do the American people get in return? We get a derogation of our liberty through bogus agreements, the right to host hundreds of ill-behaved diplomats from third- world countries and a system that allows hundreds of communist and socialist political activists into our country to instigate problems we do not need.

No more UN for US-list

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

Birchers have been calling for the U.S. to get out of the UN for a long time. I guess nobody was listening.

"MUD's Promise!!"
(To be sung to Bruce Springsteen's "The Promise")

Knighthawk's workin' fer Victory...the BigMan works downtown...
CM works in a rock and roll band,
Lookin' for that diff'rence-makin' sound!!
We've gotta li'l job up in DeeCeeTown...
We're Right, that I know!!
Some nights I FReep with Black's judges...some nights I write songs...
We'll follow our dreams just like those RATS do way up on TeeVee!!
We'll Whup RATS' challengers 'til Left's Benign...screw the deadheads and all the RATS screams!!
Lib'rals' Promise's been broken...DemRATS ain't gonna git MUD's Dreams!!

Folks, we won't haveta challenge Left by ourselves...
Righteous folks got somethin' that we'll embolden!!
I lived a secret...mud should'a kept to hisself!!
But I got drunk one night and I told it...
All my life, we'll fight fer Right...
The Fight that Mankind must ALWAYS Win!!
Every day, it just seems hard to believe...
The LIES RATS're believing in!!
Lib'rals're DOLTS!!! Yo, FReepers, you are so Right!!
Clinton's a HO-O-O!! SlickWillie's Lyin' and Slick Righteous Shall Smite!!

I won big once and I hit the coast
But somehow I paid the big cost
Inside I felt like I was carryin' the broken spirits
Of all the other ones who lost
When the promise is broken you go on living
But it steals something from down in your soul
Like when the truth is spoken and it don't make no difference
Something in your heart goes cold
I followed that dream through the southwestern flats
That dead ends in two-bit bars
And when the promise was broken I was far away from home
Sleepin' in the back seat of a borrowed car
Thunder Road, for the lost lovers and all the fixed games
Thunder Road, for the tires rushing by in the rain
Thunder Road, Billy and me we'd always say
Thunder Road, we were gonna take it all and throw it all away

Mid...MUD

I posted this on another thread. Reposted for information.

Let's see. There are 191 member states in the United Nations and it was chartered in 1945. That's 58 years on American soil. If they each took a turn hosting the morans, it would return to the US in about 11,078 years. Now that seems fair.

We could also improve our spy network with the rotation.

In college, a professor once said that real liberty for individuals has always been an extreme rarity thoughout the
history of man. It sure looks that way at the begining of the 21st century. If you remove the threat of the UN, even our own government is expanding its powers and numbers of spy orgs that will keep track of all citizens at a rate that is nearly unbelieveable. None of this can be good for those who believe in and support the rights of individuals.

I completely agree. Everything that is anything of value is registered or licensed in our country. I like carrying a concealed handgun, but you have to have a permit for it. A thought came to me a while ago that concealed weapon permits were a great way to spy and track firearm owners.
