( WASHINGTON, DC ) – U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) introduced legislation today that would effectively move the United Nations headquarters out of the United States. The legislation is being introduced amid incessant anti-American and anti-Jewish political grandstanding from the podium of the General Assembly.
“The U.N. has coddled brutal dictators, anti-Semites, state sponsors of terrorism, and nuclear proliferators – while excluding democratic countries from membership and turning a blind eye to humanitarian tragedies and gross violations of human rights around the globe,” Tancredo said. “The U.N.’s continued presence in the United States is an embarrassment to our nation, and the time has come for this ineffective organization to pack its bags and hit the road.”
The United Nations is hosting dictators from around the world this week, including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran’s brutal dictator. His speech has drawn thousands of protestors in New York City.
Tancredo’s bill, dubbed the U.N. Eviction Act, would direct Attorney General Michael Mukasey to initiate condemnation proceedings against all United Nations properties within the United States, and sell the property to the highest bidder on the open market. The proceeds will be given to the Treasury Department to pay down the national debt. The bill would also bar the future purchase of property in the United States or U.S. territories by the U.N. or any of its agencies, and revokes the diplomatic privileges and immunities that U.N. officials and representatives currently enjoy.
“I refuse to sit idly by while Americans are forced to host Islamofascist dictators, like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, so they can spew anti-American rhetoric just blocks from Ground Zero,” Tancredo continued.

I agree they should be kicked out, but what Democratic country has not been allowed into the U.N.?
This guy is a Patriot... no doubt.
LLS
Not that this has a chance of succeeding, but I applaud him for trying. I’d for one would be there doing my best to throw them out.
Its about time!!! Send them to Dubai.
Well this guy has balls and big ones!
I TOTALLY AGREE!! Get the UN out of the US and the US out of the UN!
Heck, I'd even give them money to move to Haiti.
Thank you Cong. Tancredo!
Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., introduced a bill to the House of Representatives that seeks to prevent Islamic law from gaining a foothold in the U.S. legal system, as it has in other countries.
Tancredo introduced HR 6975, the Jihad Prevention Act, last week. If made into law, the bill would allow American authorities to prevent advocates of Islamic law, or Shariah, from entering the country, revoke the visa of any foreigners that champion it and revoke naturalization for citizens that seek to implement it in the U.S.
The radical form of Shariah includes several statutes objectionable to Western minds, including stoning for adulterous women, amputation for thieves and the death sentence for converting from Islam.
"When you have an immigration policy that allows for the importation of millions of radical Muslims," Tancredo said in a statement, "you are also importing their radical ideology – an ideology that is fundamentally hostile to the foundations of Western democracy – such as gender equality, pluralism and individual liberty.
"The best way to safeguard America against the importation of the destructive effects of this poisonous ideology is to prevent its purveyors from coming here in the first place," Tancredo said.
As WND reported, large Muslim populations in Canada seeking to live out their faith have convinced the Canadian government to permit the enforcement of Shariah.
The journal of the American Bar Association reported last week that Islamic court rulings are now enforceable in the United Kingdom as well.
Tancredo said he "moved quickly" to prevent similar legal entanglements in the U.S.
"We need to send a clear message that the only law we recognize here in America is the U.S. Constitution and the laws passed by our democratically elected representatives," he concluded. "If you aren't comfortable with that concept, you aren't welcome in the United States."
WND contacted the Council on American-Islamic Relations for comment on the bill but received none.
HR 6975 has been referred to the House Committee on Judiciary for review.
This is one bill I want to pass. Let's all keep heads up on this.
Trancredo is for our country and it seems he is all by hinself.
No, send them to Cuba...or some other third world country.
I think the ONLY reason we have a UN is so there is someplace to funnel disputes in the world community.
Does anything get done at the UN? No
Do the rob most of the money at the UN? IMO Yes
Do dictators, theocracies, socialists, communists who don't like us represent 95% of the UN? Yes
Could there be a better system in the future? ??????????
Is this a functional place beyond filing grievances? No
Thanks you Tancredo.
God Bless you sir!! I would call my Congress peoples incessantly.....
Can we make it happen ASAP?? I could just hear the Libs crying....HAHAHAHAHA People like Sean Penn would probably chain themselves to the building. Rev up the BullDozers....Rachel Corrie anyone?? ONe warning and the whole place then that’s it.
I was thinking more along the lines of Saudi Arabia or Iran. I'd like to see them hosting the Israeli and Vatican delegations.
May I suggest Iran, Pakistan, or Afghanistan.
It’s time to get out United Abominations!!

Tell ‘em Mustaine!
The Republic of China.
Unintended consiquences...we created this monster,now we have to deal with it. We just need a President and a congress that will de-fund them and they will pack up and move to Geneva in a week.
Send them to GITMO to build. They will be with their terrorist brothers.
America is in a financial crisis. We can’t afford to house these freeloaders anymore. They need to pack up all of their worthless resolutions and move to Geneva or someplace like that.
Taiwan, or sometimes known as the REPUBLIC of China, not the “People’s Republic”!
Ah.
I’d rather send them somewhere that’s in horrible shape....like Cuba, Haiti, or Zimbabwe.
They wouldn’t go, and I want them OUT.
I agree, but it needs to be somewhere in the Islamic world. A lousy climate would be a bonus. How about Sudan?
Within striking distance from Ground Zero sits a smoldering international cauldron, the United “Abominations” as it were. Born to prevent wars, it froze in the face of disaster and stood silent while terrorization to hostage of the world
In a mire of hypocrisy, the U.N. ignores sex crimes by its “blue helmets”, and enables terrorism; so in the end it’s failed and the U.N. is where our
so-called friends get to stab us in the back and we pay 22% of their tab to host our
enemies here at home.
Ambassadors from countries enjoy otherwise known as a catastrophe, enjoy Diplomatic immunity living in Manhattan, while their children are turned into prostitutes It’s a complete and utter disgrace, a blot on the face of humanity, and they get away with it.
Poverty in their kitchens
Held hostage by oil-for-food
Yet their own plates are full off the fat of their lands
There’s no blood on their hands, right Kojo?
They promised to tell the truth
Without leaving a fingerprint,
They will lose the U.N. one way or another
The victim, I fear will be us, sisters and brothers
The U.N. is right; you can’t be any more “un”
Than you are right now, the U.N. is undone
Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun
The threat is real, the Locust King has come
Don’t tell me the truth; I don’t like what they’ve done
It’s payback time at the United Abominations
A grave and gathering danger
The decision to attack
Based on secret intelligence it’ll take years
I fear to undo the failings in Iraq, Iran, and Korea
You may bury the bodies
But you can’t bury the crimes only
Fools stand up and really lay down their arms
No, not me, not when Death lasts forever
The U.N. is right; you can’t be any more “un”
Than you are right now, the U.N. is undone
Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun
The threat is real, the Locust King has come
Don’t tell me the truth; I don’t like what they’ve done
It’s payback time at the United Abominations
“The U.N. writes resolution after resolution and has become irrelevant through inaction and totalitarian paralysis,”
“Order, Order!!!”
“Ha! There is no such thing as order”
“Larry, it’s true, reports confirm today that the United Nations has officially closed its doors forever,”
“Well, I just don’t see what all the fuss is, because they don’t do anything anyway, do they?”
The U.N. is right; you can’t be any more “un”
Than you are right now, the U.N. is undone
Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun
The threat is real, the Locust King has come
Don’t tell me the truth; I don’t like what they’ve done
It’s payback time at the United Abominations
NATO invaded Yugoslavia to end ethnic cleansing, there was no U.N.
The U.S. invaded Afghanistan after 9/11, there was no U.N.
Saddam Hussein violated 17 U.N. resolutions; The U.N. was asked to join the
war in Iraq. The U.S. invaded, Ha! there was no U.N.
Libya bombed a discotheque in Berlin killing Americans, there was no U.N.
Iran funds Hamas, and attacked the U.S. in the
seventies, there was no stinking U.N.
Facing War without end, looking into the future, there was no more U.N.
— MEGADETH United Abominations
So..how do we do it?
US aus UN... UN aus US!!!

***(WASHINGTON, DC ) – U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) introduced legislation today that would effectively move the United Nations headquarters out of the United States.***
I’m not sure I agree with this although I want to. Remember the old addage...”Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.”
Reminds me of the days when you could see roadsigns saying...”Get us out of the Red UN!” and ont he back side, “Impeach Earl Warren!”
I am so sick of the U.N. and it's agenda.
This and TERM LIMITS for our "representatives" are two things I could really get behind......
UN Ambassador Charles Lichenstein, 20 Sep. 1983 source
"Maybe all those delegates should have six months in Moscow and then six months in New York, and it would give them an opportunity to see two ways of life. I think the gentleman [Charles Lichenstein] who spoke the other day had the hearty approval of most people in America in his suggestion that we weren’t asking anyone to leave, but if they chose to leave, good-bye."
President Ronald Reagan, 21 Sep. 1983 press conference, in response to Amb. Lichenstein's remarks. source
And now Tanc asks them to leave. Good riddance to bad rubbish I say.
ping
Teheran would be a good place for it. Let’s see what Mugabe says when a bunch of his illegally-parking “bodyguards” get beheaded.
Taiwan.
aaaalllllll praise beeeelly girl.....aaaaaamen.
Call Congress and demand they pass this Bill before the elections. Well....maybe that’s impossible but it should be done and done fast. Tie up the phone lines in DC.
Palin/Tanc 2012!
Get some old ocean liner and put the UN on it so it can drift around like the man without a country. Nobody will go there to grandstand, because it will be such a boring venue that not even the morons of the media will be willing to take an assignment there.
Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., God Bless you sir!!
I agree they should be kicked out, but what Democratic country has not been allowed into the U.N.?
