The Worst Building in the History of Mankind

U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) introduced legislation today that would effectively move the United Nations headquarters out of the United States. The legislation is being introduced amid incessant anti-American and anti-Jewish political grandstanding from the podium of the General Assembly.
“The U.N. has coddled brutal dictators, anti-Semites, state sponsors of terrorism, and nuclear proliferators – while excluding democratic countries from membership and turning a blind eye to humanitarian tragedies and gross violations of human rights around the globe,” Tancredo said. “The U.N.’s continued presence in the United States is an embarrassment to our nation, and the time has come for this ineffective organization to pack its bags and hit the road.”
The United Nations is hosting dictators from around the world this week, including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran’s brutal dictator. His speech has drawn thousands of protestors in New York City.
Tancredo’s bill, dubbed the U.N. Eviction Act, would direct Attorney General Michael Mukasey to initiate condemnation proceedings against all United Nations properties within the United States, and sell the property to the highest bidder on the open market. The proceeds will be given to the Treasury Department to pay down the national debt. The bill would also bar the future purchase of property in the United States or U.S. territories by the U.N. or any of its agencies, and revokes the diplomatic privileges and immunities that U.N. officials and representatives currently enjoy.
“I refuse to sit idly by while Americans are forced to host Islamofascist dictators, like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, so they can spew anti-American rhetoric just blocks from Ground Zero,” Tancredo continued. The United Nations, an organization known for its bureaucracy and conciliatory actions, has become a showcase for anti-American dictators like Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and, of course, Ahmadinejad. The organization has also become little more than a rubber stamp for Chinese and Russian foreign policy initiatives – blocking membership by the democratic nation of Taiwan in the world body, and failing to take any meaningful steps to halt the ongoing genocide in Sudan or the illicit nuclear programs in North Korea and Iran.
“If the U.N. is so keen to accommodate the foreign policy demands of rogue nations and dictatorships, perhaps the world body might be more comfortable relocating to one,” concluded Tancredo. “I’m sure Ban Ki-Moon will have no trouble securing a new location in downtown Pyongyang or Tehran.”
Cripplecreek stands with Tanc on this one.
BTTT (ROFL)
Let’s move them to Madagascar or Nepal. Someplace where the MSM could show up and do local stories that might help out the natives.
My vote is for Dafur or Somalia.
Sadly, it’s Tom Tancredo who is truly getting out of Congress very soon. :(
Bad. Ass.
About time somebody grew a spine and did something about it. Anyone not voting for this deserves to lose his incumbency.
I concur that the UN would be best served by having its HQ situated in a “neutral” nation like Switzerland. And, indeed, it has a substantial facility in Geneva.
They should move to Darfur.

Yeahhhhh!
“They should move to Darfur.”
Exactly!!!
He’s one of the best we have. Hopefully if McCain wins he will put him to great use.
It won’t go anywhere - although I wish to God it would - but I’m glad he introduced it.
I’m with you Tom!
GO DAN GO!
It is about bloody time someone in Washington grew a brass set and told those marxist bastardges to hit the road. Too bad the rest of Congress are either efeminant poltroons, in the UN’s pockets, or fellow travelers. The best place I can think of to locate the UN is in the middle of Saudi Desert... without the air-conditioning, and without the desalinization plant.
I don’t care where they move to, I just say, “Don’t let the doorknob catch you on the way out.”
What the heck is that? Oh, I know... it’s their new ballistic missile.
