Agreed. However, Most people in the country would not sign on to a party that would drop out of the UN, IMO. Picking six that most normal real Americans can support is the key. Drop those that cause dilution. The other issues will be worked out by the people in power, as is the case now.

The idea is to get elected, accomplish your narrow goal, and on to another one. Pick the wrong one, lose the election. It's as simple as that.

You know, it would REALLY be interesting to see some polling data on that. It would seem to me that a majority WOULD support total withdrawal from the UN.

In my perfect scenario, I feel that Savage (who is truly beginning to annoy me on air), had all the basics at BORDERS /LANGUAGE /CULTURE.... Here is my list:

1. Withdraw from the United Nations. Reaffirm the United States as a sovereign nation in the midst of a terrorist attack.

Therefore, guidelines for citizenship would become more stringent. Illegals simply NOT tolerated. (Further, costs incurred by them would be borne by the nation they come from. In other words, let Mexico (for one) become harsh on their rules instead of insisting we are more lax on ours). Also revoke all previous U.N. "biodiversity" deals in our parks, states, etc. We don't have to take a rigidly isolationist world view, but we MUST make ourselves clear and heard loudly that we will NOT participate in a world tax, world court, etc., etc.

2. English would become the ONLY recognized national language.

3. Culture: THIS would be the sticking point, but if I could have the nation I love back, we would IMMEDIATELY do the following: God would be placed (once more) as originally intended by the founders of this country. Nativity scenes, the Ten Commandments, and prayer etc. etc. would again be allowed in courts, schools, et al. Marriage WOULD be defined ONLY for men and women. Abortion rights would be REPEALED. Pornography would be defined (and accepted/rejected) by the community standard.... and citizens would have the right of free speech, but NOT the right to infringe upon the RIGHTS of others. There IS a threshold of speech which begins to tear a nation down. We are long past reaching it. Civility, manners and common sense would return by default if we stopped tolerating this PC garbage.

As for the rest? It would take some time to iron out specifics like a smooth way to replace the social security and tax systems, but if we went back to the constitution instead of these wacky courts we might have a chance to last as a Republic. Otherwise, we are DOOMED.
