The UN building in Manhattan would be a great place to house the thousands of homeless in and around NYC.

a penny is too much, why do we support it, why do we participate and why do we fund it...

Not surprisingly, the book you cite also shows the UN in the goals of communism.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand
that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.

It also included the goals of admitting Red China to the UN and normalizing trade with other communist states. Which the government in DC has done.

Obama as president seems to have made all the Unipartiers want to come out into the open.

I wouldn’t pay a red cent for the UN, not now, not ever. But the American people like the “security”.

The American people don’t even know what the JBS is, but they like seeing the UN and enjoy the peace of mind they receive from it.

I remember William Scranton scolding Barry Goldwater for not be sufficiently supportive of the UN. Hard to believe that’s been 51 years ago

Close the UN and burn the building and never do this crap again.

Mr. Bolton was the worst UN Secretary ever. He was supposed to dismantle it but instead made it stronger then ever. I can’t believe how he allowed it to stay intact. Now no presidential candidate talks of closing it down.

I saw such signs out in the countryside as a kid and wondered what it was all about. Seems like the UN has become more wacko during the last 50 years.

One American red cent would be too much to pay to this collection of Globocrats to promote their Globaloney.

do you mean John Bolton? he was never the secretary general of the UN. he was simply the US UN ambassador for 16 months during Bush II’s 2nd term. he had no power to dismantle the UN, though he did speak publicly about how bloated he felt the bureaucracy was.

“The Secretariat Building in New York has 38 stories. If you lost ten stories today, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference.”

28 u.n. Countries are mooselimb and vote as a block.
We pay over half the budget and except at the security council we have the same voting power as Peru.

Thanks. I really wish when President Bush was President, we could have gotten rid of the UN completely at least out of the United States.
