Actually the last line should read: Why haven't we left yet?

How many years and billions of dollars need to be thrown at this problem.

The only way we can reform the UN is by leaving the institution.

[Esther Ruth]

"This week Congress will vote on a bill to expand the power of the United Nations beyond the dreams of even the most ardent left-wing, one-world globalists. But this time the UN power grabbers aren’t European liberals; they are American neo-conservatives, who plan to use the UN to implement their own brand of world government."

"Conservatives who have been critical of the UN in the past have enthusiastically embraced this bill and the concept of UN reform."

[Stevieboy]

As a Canadian, I'm anxious to see the conservative/FReeper response to this, specifically regarding this line:

"Conservatives who have been critical of the UN in the past have enthusiastically embraced this bill and the concept of UN reform."

[Ohioan]

Every ten years, the One Worlders seek to change the United Nations into something really onerous. As a school boy, I fought this nonsense in 1955. It is tantamount to treason, but of course, "none dare call it treason."

For a classic discussion of the whole concept of surrendering sovereignty to a League of Nations, see League of Nations.

The CFR was founded in the early 1920s by those who had backed the Wilsonian effort. The whole purpose of the CFR has been to ensnare us in a powerful international body. The time to stop this assault on our freedom is before it succeeds, not to be forced into a new American Revolution to regain what we are being asked to surrender.

But this time the UN power grabbers aren’t European liberals; they are American neo-conservatives, who plan to use the UN to implement their own brand of world government.

That's what this whole Bolton thing is about as well. He's made it clear that he wants the UN to be more "effective". Conservatives who see his confirmation as a way of "sticking it to the UN" are sadly mistaken.

[Zero Sum]

I have a wonderful idea. How about we cut off funding either way, whether the UN adopts the reforms or not?

[joesnuffy]

Next thing ya know they will be advocation silencing critics
and call it 'Campaign Finance Reform'

[hedgetrimmer]

Have you seen this yet?

[Nephi]

How many opponents of the UN, on this thread, support expanding the Patriot Act? The Bush administration refuses to enforce our borders while telling us that they need more police powers to protect us from terrorists? People call this a conservative forum? Pshaw.

DANGER AHEAD!

This is flying under the radar, isn't it. How can it be up for vote without the immensity of the issues becoming front page news?

Is Rush talking about this? Who is?

[Countyline]

"The only true reform of the United Nations is for the US to withdraw immediately."

Hurrah for that.

[WhiteGuy]

What a worthless bunch the gop has turned out to be.

It seems every day they give us more reasons to never support them again.



Vote for gridlock in '06

Does anyone know the bill number for this? I Googled it but no success yet and I have to get ready for work. Thanks!

The only reform we need to see at the UN is an OUTSIDE AUDIT of the entire organization.
