The UN cannot be trusted, as they are no different than any other group of liberals.
Ron Paul is one of a kind...
Canada has even figured out registration doesn't work, but these guys KNOW better!
As I've suggested before, we need a constitutional amendment prohibiting congress from appropriating money to any organization or entity that is not under the jurisdiction of the constitution.
Amen to that. A great patriot. A throwback to an earlier era... like the late 18th century!
Let's go for it.
Time to resurrect HR 1146

I agree, but wonder how many others would really support this. I'm pretty sure that Ron means this to include EPA, Social Security, DEA, BATFE, Dept. of Education, Homeland Security, NSA, CIA, FBI, etc. since all of these took on extra-constitutional powers without any formal amendment process...
Only if they have the will to take up those arms every now and then to stem those very abuses.
We don't have that kind of will power any more. American Idol is on and we were going to go to the Mall this weekend.
Read Article VI for what it really says:
This Constitution [shall be the supreme Law of the Land], and [only] the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made [in Pursuance thereof], or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, [only they] shall be the supreme Law of the Land; ---
In other words, treaties or 'laws' not "made in Pursuance thereof", have no authority equal to the Constitution.
-- No amendment is needed, we just need to force our 'lawmakers' to comply with the Constitution as it is written.
I've never seen that statue as anti-American but rather simplistic.
The bible speaks of beating swords into plowshears - i.e. converting that energy of violence into a positive outlet.
In 1959 the U.N. put a more sophisiticated statue based on the bible at the headquarters. I take the 1980 gun statue to just be an over simplification - "just say no to guns" as if that solves the problems.
Here is the older statue
and a link if anybody wants to see the rest of the U.N. statues.

Yes, this is exactly what needs to change. Note, ... and all Treaties....
That means it is possible for a President and 51 Senators to sign on to a Treaty that would take away our rights and it would be "...the Supreme law of the land"
What needs to be CLEAR is that no law, treaty or anything else is superior to the Constitution and that any such law or treaty is NOT enforceable.
We The People don't seem to be too fired up about the existing parts of the Constitution being ignored by our Governemnt. I don't see how giving them one more amendment to ignore will help.
