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.
