This would be wonderful!
You've got that right!
bump
Let's DO IT!
We are probably stuck with the United Nations at least for the short term. The first thing the U.S. should do is to require half the U.N.'s operating budget to be levied equally among the member states. That is, each member state would have to pay the same basic amount to remain a member of the U.N. That would cause many of these faux (sorry, I could resist using a frog word to describe them) states with a few million inhabitants from gumming up the machinery of the U.N. The other half would be paid by the wealthiest nations on a per capita basis. That would require many of the rich nations such as Saudi Arabia (yeah, I know it is a family with a flag) to pay it's "fair" share or get out of gumming up things in the general assembly.
Amen.
I think it would be instructive to compare and contrast the extrasoverign experience with the EU (and its Brussels beauracrat governance efficiency - as a puppet of France) and with the UN (also with France wanting to have control). Then we could have a rational discussion before deep-sixing the UN as it is currently constructed and headed.
I love the idea, but these bills will never see the light of the President's desk. There are wwwwaaayyyy too many who bow at the table of the un, to let it pass. Hitlery will launch a fillabuster to save the un for the commie husband! I say that we get together and burn the un to ground and demand by torch light that they leave the country asap!
One can only wish.
I agree with you! That is my I suggested a torchlight march on them! maybe then they will get the idea.
It's high time they are served with notice to vacate. Get them and their arrogant diplomatic immunity out of the U.S.A. ASAP.
The gether up the torches, get some kerosene & matches! Gather the masses let the march begin!
From MY perspective, I'd get the F'n out of the UN, give an executive order that the building be evacuated, and bring in the Texas outfit and implode the dopey building (which is damn near falling down). IMOHO. The USA has always done the "heavy lifting" supporting that worthless organization.
Well seing how the whole concept of the UN is completely UNAmerican...I'll vote for that!!!
bang on the money.
two options:
1. introduce a requirement that EVERY country in the UN who wants to stay must upload standards of freedom, democracy and religious freedom, kicking out 24 of the 25 islamic nations and many more like zimbabwe and north korea.
and when that fails (hear the french whining, NO NO its not FAIR to insist UN members upload religious freedoms!) and when that fails immediately halt all funding.
The stupid organization will fall to its knees without 25% of its funding.
and then negotiate a new treaty with all the democratic free nations of the world... uk, australia, canada, india... shit there's not many is there!
seriously we dont need the UN and we sure as hell shouldnt be PAYING for this shit.
Get US out of UN.
I'm all for a huge letter-writing and non-stop telephone calls to our reps to see that the UN is history, at least in the US location. I want us out of that disreputable organization before the end of 2005. Let's go after them Freepers!
Good article on the reasons to be against the UN. He doesn't cover the biggest one in my mind, which is that the UN legitimizes tyrants in the eyes of their people and makes regime change/democratization more difficult.
