THE U.N. NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED (Mark Steyn)

We need to drop out of the UN and stop funding it.

That should assure it's demise. Take away the

gravy and the crime-dogs will disappear.

But,we need to start our own UN. We need an

organization of countries that are "our" allies,

"true" allies, even if we can count them all on one

hand. No more UN BS.

[rodguy911]

Good thoughts Bill.

I shall not give up on the idea of the UN, because I think that something like it is needed, but in its current form and under its current miasma of corruption I cannot find a single reason to defend it.

Well said.

If something like the UN is ever tried again, membership should be earned and invitational. It's not enough to simply "declare independence" from a colonial master. One must also establish a society predicated on individual freedom and the right to own property.

Keep your friends close and your enemy's closer.

Walk away from the UN. Pull every single diplomatic provision specific to the UN from every lawbook in the land.

When their first tax bill arrives payable to the NYC Board of Revenue, we'll have an empty building in heavy need of repair. Not to mention a choice opportunity to regroup with the good guys of the world and try again.

And no encumbrances on the God given right of self defense!!!!!

The "global test" is a racket

The self-righteous Left thinks that all of their most sacred cows are indeed sacred--but they are all about money...abortion is a money making industry...over $1 billion a year...no wonder they oppsed sonograms for poor women...welfare and food stamps are a racket aided and abetted by the poverty pimps in the minority community...lots of double dipping and food stamps for sale on the street...the environmental movement is about trial lawyers and social engineering more than about the land and the people...as my mother used to say "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".

I am especially pissed about the UN creeps who force poor children in Africa to give up sex in exchange for food...Lord help us...boys and girls often orphans being exploited and often infected with AIDS...BTW where's Al I love my people Sharpton...too busy getting paid by the Dems to scare up the vote, I guess.

Ceded sovreignty is ceded sovreignty. Empowered bureaucracies are corruptible bureaucracies.

"IMHO the reason why the Left or Tranzis have made an issue of Halliburton may have been to try to draw a parrell with the UN scam, SHOULD THE SCADAL BE FOUND OUT

THIS MUST NOT STAND.

I have also felt that the hatred for Israel is because she will allways be a nation-state (ANATHEMA) and is Judaic. Amtisemetism is a good tool for Elites in realizing their Transnational Progressivism. Perhaps antisemitism has been used to advance their goals in abolishing the Nation-State and advance the Tanzis agenda.

"If the new hatred of George Bush is the natural expression of an elite that blurs truth and fiction, word and deed, then anger at a powerful America itself also is explicable in terms of the postmodernist paradigm. Because to the intellectual architects of the modern Left, the overdog automatically forfeits morality, the United States is in a particularly unenviable position as the world’s hyperpower. No absolute standards or recent history are necessary to place the mistreatment of prisoners in a proper context—not when televised pictures flooding our screens from Abu Graib show beefy, white uniformed Americans and poor, thin naked Iraqis. American misdemeanors of sexual humiliation and degradation by rogue soldiers and negligent officers are no different, as Senator Kennedy pointed out, from Saddam’s systematic efforts to institutionalize mass murder."

The US should not send any contributions to the UN until there is a full accounting by a reputable Big 4 accounting firm of all dollars spent. Since the US funds over 70% of the UN budget, things would get straightened out quickly. Kofi Annan needs to go.....

And no encumbrances on the God given right of self defense!!!!!

None whatsoever.

The u.n. is as useless as teats on a boar hog.

If they were only "useless", they would be harmless. Unfortunately, the UN is vastly destructive.

[Ptarmigan]

Don't forget that is was the Rockefellers who gave land in Manhattan to the UN. The UN should be abolished.

[Dilbert56]

Can't Congress address this right now. Introduce legislation to withold all dues and cooperation until the books are opened wide. Set a deadline for our withdrawl if they don't comply. Send them a bill for the blood and money we lost in Iraq because they wouldn't stand firm.

Make all our representatives vote on it before the election.

I just hope that if Bush is elected, changes will be made, and that all of us petition to get these bastrds out of our country, and built a 'true' UN with only those who have assisted us. It makes me very agnry knowing that these bastards are being paid by all of us, to continue their corruption, and their anti-merican rhetoric.

[goldstategop]

The liberals worship the UN. As a result, the mainstream media will print and air nothing that could discredit their "precious." Mark Steyn right; the OFF program shows us the UN is about anything but securing international peace and security; in reality it was a welfare and public relations program for Saddam Hussein. Don't count on AP or your evening news anchor person to highlight the truth that damns the Kerry/Edwards ticket.

[Mercat]

Makes you wonder who else was bought off.

[crazycat]

Your all missing the point, this story is errupting everywhere.

It is without a doubt the most outlandishly disgusting story of modern times and will not die.

It also leaves 'Effin vulnerable to merciless attack, due to his cretinous belief in the UN et al.

[Tax-chick]

Dang.
