We have to stay in the UN to block votes against us. Outside of that, they are a debating society for socialist and dictators.
Correct. We must retain a say-so. We can't run and hide. We did with our own education system and and now the Liberals have total control of it. Same with labor unions, etc.
That's about the most absurd reasoning there is. Without the US, there IS NO UN!! Without our money, without our peacekeeping forces around the world, without our stamp of approval, there isn't a single UN anything that stands on its' own weight.
Wrong. There was a Soviet Union and a United Arab Republic and OPEC, etc without the US. The UN wants us and our influence out of their way.

Your "corrects" and "wrongs" are both wrong. The UN is nothing now and will collapse when we leave. And we HAVE to leave, both on political and moral grounds. America can't be part of a gang where Libya and Cuba are in charge of human rights.

The US and Japan together constitute 40% of the UN budget, and Japan is looking askance at them for the situation in Korea.

We did [that]with our own education system and and now the Liberals have total control of it. Yes--and who expanded Goals 2000 if not our "conservative" president?
His lament against the UN is that it's not carrying out its mission. Solution? Make it stronger.
No thanks--get us OUT!
