Yes, kick the UN out.
Who was our deputy ambassador to the U.N. around 1981, who endorsed to their utter shock the Soviet ambassador’s sudden proposal to move the United Nations headquarters to Moscow?
Anatoly Dobrynin stuttered and stammered that, uh, well, the Soviet capital uh, just didn’t have the physical resources to host that huge of an international bureaucracy, and, well, New York will do just fine for now.
Anyway, I say move the U.N. to...... Tehran? Cairo? Islamabad?
Or some other Third World Islamic s***hole.
Screw that nonsense.Just get out there with a Hundred D-9 cats and some battleship chain and pull the SOB of its foundation.They will leave on there own accord. I am only half kidding.
BTTT
Myanmar is my top choice.
That would be a Prayer answered, wouldn’t it?
That’s one of the few things I liked about Giuliani, he harassed them to no end.
Tanc should run for the Senate, his voiced is drowned out in the House. Or, McCain can appoint him as Ambassador to the U.N. LOL
I know but it’s nice to have a big ol’ beautiful dream at least for today.
Absolutely! And use the office space (after fumigation) to replace office space lost on 9/11.

The question you ask raises even more of a WTF than the hideousness of the structure itself. Maybe the Ronery Reader was planning to invite every Elvis impersonator in the world to his birthday bash and he needed somewhere to house them? Makes as much sense as a 3000 room hotel in Pyongyang.
Makes too much sense to ever go anywhere. I fully agree with Representative Tancredo.
For the U.N. to really move to another country, there need to be intermediate steps leading up to that action. You don't take up jogging by running a marathon, but by running a mile, then a couple, etc.
A few intermediate steps:
- Refuse to allow Ahmadinejad to come to the U.S.
- Cut U.S. funding of the U.N. by a significant amount.
- Tie U.S. funding to the meeting of goals for fiscal transparency (fight corruption), effectiveness (fight failure), etc.
- Get serious about vetting foreign diplomats for espionage ties, make the vetting process cumbersome (and effective)
- Have NYC get serious about rampant parking violations by diplomats who supposedly run up millions in parking fines that go unpaid, and generally park like they're king
We need to push on a number of issues, and get some cracks in the big wall, before we can think of knocking the wall down.
The most important of these ideas, by far, is to push for a serious cut in American funding of this despicable organization.
The downside is that there’s no other congresscritter who would even consider offering such a bill and Mr Tancredo is retiring.
I imagine he threw this in the ring as a farewell. He’s been fighting long and hard against illegal immigration so why not go out with a swat an the UN too.
