Difference is the South attempted to secede from a sovereign nation which had assets, such as; people, money, territory, armed forces, etc. The UN has nothing and is nothing.

Do no be so quick to dismiss the U.N. Most of the member of the U.N. loath the U.S. and would love for a reason to openly attack us. Plus we have our own military forces streched very thin throughout the world.

Maybe we should be 'warm' toward the UN?

Now in 2004, the Utah House voted 42-33 in favor of “freeing the nation from a large financial burden and retaining the nation’s sovereignty to decide what is best for the nation and determine what steps it considers appropriate as the leader of the free world in full control of its armed forces and destiny.”

No more UN for US-list

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

Included among those favoring Paul's amendment were such heavy hitters as House Majority leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas; House International Relations Committee Chairman Henry Hyde, R-Ill.; and Rep. Christopher Cox, R-Calif., best known for his bipartisan probe several years ago of communist China's espionage in the U.S.

Oh, yeah, I vaguely remember Chris Cox's "bipartisan probe" - that big, long report that never was opened for public perusal. Wasn't that around the time that Newt Gingrich resigned as Speaker, someone else stepped in for a short while, then we got that marvel of brilliance, Hastert?

It doesn't seem like the Senate is really all that eager to dump the UN:

Law of The Sea By Dark of Night

Global nightmare: Saving the LOST

John Kerry’s Treaty - Outsourcing sovereignty

Too bad republicans at the federal level don't have a problem with the UN.

Senator Lugar (republican) has pushed the UN "Law of the Sea" treaty thru his foreign relations committee where it has been bottled up since Reagan (correctly) declared it dead on arrival.

Well its not only alive now, senate majority leader Frist (Republican) is considering scheduling it for a "unaminous consent" vote.

With friends like these....

Regards

Do treaties have bill numbers

According to Henry Lamb the Law of the Sea treaty is known in the senate as:

TREATY DOC 103-39

The following is from a response from me Post # 56 to Post #9

"Both parties are globalist, elitist pukes with an agenda that does NOT include the absolute sovereignty of the U.S. or the protection of the rights and welfare of it's citizens."

Yep. I've been saying that for years. The republicans and democrats have merged into one party which I call the Republicrats.

"They don't even try to hide it."

At least not any more. 25-? years or so ago many brave, knowledgeable patriotic Americans did research and found these international "treaties" and tried to bring it forth to the American people, only to be laughed at and called kooks, wacko's, etc.
The CFR (Counsel of Foreign Relations) has been around for many years and the government denied it existed. Now they're in your face on the TV and people still shut their eyes.

When many of these patriotic Americans were talking about CFRFEMA and its rolls, they were again laughed at. Now the CFR and FEMA is in your face on TV and in the movies. etc.

When I hear people say things like, well I'll vote for the "lesser of two evils" and I point out to them that the "lesser of two evils" is still EVIL , I get this blank stare and comments like, well what are we supposed to do? I tell 'em simple, don't vote for evil in any form.

Instead vote Constitution Party

A vote for "lesser of two evils" is like saying, do I vote for Stalin or Hitler? either one is UNacceptable.

Naturally I hear stuff like, 'well if I don't vote for a rep or dem I'll be wasting my vote'. I say if you do vote repub or dem its definitely a wasted vote. Its a wasted vote for America.

Do you really want to see a change in the government to where it once again becomes OUR government, then don't waste your vote on any Republicrat and vote Constitution Party

I wouldn't mind if this organization stuck to being a place where the elected representatives of the people of the world could sit down, air their differences, and promote understanding between the Nations of the world. In a practical sense we DO need to keep the 'lines of communication' open between nations, IMHO.

However:
The institution has expanded over the years into having dreams of being a 'governing' body rather than solely fulfilling a communicative function.

Unfortunately:
1) The representatives are NOT elected. Instead, they are appointed, and.....................
2) Those doing most of the appointments (ie. Third World Hell-Holes) are not elected either.

Like most bureaucracies, it has expanded well beyond it's original mandates and doesn't represent the people. So what good is it? Ans: Nothing; Other than to promote and ensure the survival of ITSELF.

Furthermore:
It should be moved to some neutral site, like the Canary Islands or Elba. The UN's closeness to the centers of US banking and commerce BREEDS envy and corruption in its members large and small.

Anti-UN Bump.
