I wish this thing would catch fire. Screw Koffi and his communist buddies.

Haiti would be a splendid place to relocate the United Nations. Even the French would support us on such a move. What's more, all those do-nothing diplomats with their platinum charge cards could help employ the natives driving taxis, waiting tables and printing documents.

The tarnished reputation of the U.N. persists despite the left-tilting establishment’s best efforts to define the issue as something that is “settled” and beyond the boundaries of reasonable debate.

Membership in the UN is never "settled". It is a voluntary association that can be unilaterally severed anytime a member nation feels the organization is not worth a fart in a typhoon.

We should; cease funding the UN, apply the full force of law to their "diplomats'" arrogance (they may have immunity, but their illegally parked vehicles do not), and serve notice we are restoring U.S. sovereignty over they property they occupy.

Let the UN set up in subsahara Africa or France. It has long since ceased being a forum for reasoned discourse among civilized nations.

IMO, Bush lost the perfect opportunity to withdraw the U.S. from the UN when he tried to get U.N. support to invade Iraq.

It was good that he went to the U.N. first - it exposed the U.N. as a bunch of globalist, money-grubbing hand-wringers with a love for dictatorship regimes.

Since the U.N. treaty was not ratified by the U.S. Senate, the President can simply issue an executive order stating that the U.S. will cease operations and pull out in 60 days.

The UN is just an expensive cover for our "political leadership." The faster we get rid of it, the sooner we can restore accountability for our international politics.

In Madison, WI, vehicles parked in city towaway zones would not be impounded unless the owner had outstanding tickets; they'd instead be moved somewhere so as to be parked legally.

Even if NYC couldn't collect any tickets from diplomats or impound their vehicles, what about simply having their tow people provide a friendly service to the diplomats by relocating their vehicles so as to be legally parked?

NYC might not get any direct revenue from such towing, but I'm sure there are some people who would be more than happy to have diplomats' cars towed into their neighborhoods. And I think diplomats would pretty quickly decide that they really didn't want to get their cars towed there.

I like this plan!

"Haiti would be a splendid place to relocate the United Nations... " quoting Vigilanteman

Great idea !

"The United Nations gun-grabbers don't care about our Constitution and they don't care about national sovereignty. The UN always wants to expand its power, and global gun control goes hand-in-hand with global government. Every American who cares about the 2nd Amendment should oppose this latest UN attempt to dictate our domestic laws. There is no question that the UN ultimately seeks to impose worldwide gun control, although it has no legal or moral authority to do so."

Haiti would be PERFECT! Let's take a vote.

The U.N. has to confiscate the guns of all citizens. How else can they make the world safe for Marxism?

"I'm sure there are some people who would be more than happy to have diplomats' cars towed into their neighborhoods"

Sounds about right to me!

[HiramAbiff]

Kofi should come over to my house and try and foist his hell-spawned political outlook on me. I'll show him a "peace keeping" force.

What a splendid idea!

The UN still stands for the United Nobodys.
Without the Dozen nations contributing the majority of it's funding, the status and contributions of the rest of the world amount to next to nothing. And we have next to nothing to show for the money wasted on the a$$wipes of the world except complaints we aren't giving enough.

Get the US out of the UN now!

[TigersEye]

I wonder if they will look at the Law of the Sea Treaty in their next installment?

John Kerry’s Treaty - Outsourcing sovereignty

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Richard Lugar brought the treaty to a unanimous favorable vote and promises to try to get the Senate to act on it "as soon as possible."

That is precisely what Sen. Lugar is trying to do. He has: prevented critics from testifying before his own committee; kept other committees from being briefed on the treaty; and is seeking to get it to the Senate floor before effective opposition can be organized and expressed.

U.S. adherence to this treaty would entail history's biggest and most unwarranted voluntary transfer of wealth and surrender of sovereignty.

These include the power to: regulate seven-tenths of the world's surface area, levy international taxes, impose production quotas (for deep-sea mining, oil production, etc.), govern ocean research and exploration, and create a multinational court to render and enforce its judgments.

The treaty effectively prohibits two functions vital to American security: collecting intelligence in, and submerged transit of, territorial waters.

Man, that's just brilliant!! I wish I had thought of it.
