In one of its last actions of the year, the United Nations General Assembly on Christmas Eve agreed to extend for another three years the formula that has U.S. taxpayers contributing more than one-fifth of the world body’s regular budget.

No member-state called for a recorded vote, and the resolution confirming the contributions that each country will make for the 2013-2015 period was summarily adopted. The assembly also approved a two-year U.N. budget of $5.4 billion.

The U.S. has accounted for 22 percent of the total regular budget every year since 2000, and will now continue to do so for the next three years. …

Time to Occupy the UN. (Oh sorry . . . Occupy doesn’t do stuff like that.) Guess the biggest vehicle for resurgent Marxism and Nazism continues to get funded by the USA’s ruling left wing . . .

Cuts to funding places like the UN should be what congress and Obie should be looking at. Stop funding places that do not have our back...we would solve our debit issue

Although against the US Constitution, the document
holds NO WEIGHT in the US Congress which supports
Islam and invading terrorists with everything they have.

I was going to ask when exactly it was that Congress delegated this authority to the UN. Not that it matters with this Congress.

I suppose it’s under the “Promote the General Welfare...” thing, like ALL foreign aid.

I wonder if the Treaty on guns that Obama so desperately wants to sign so badly ,actually comes from the UN or was introduced at the UN at the request of Obama.

I fully expect nothing but trickery and deceit from our boy vacationer.

We NEED to make this a MAJOR political issue.

UN out of America, America out of the. UN.

Buy a UN flag, rip it up, mail the pieces to your Congresscritter.

I am sure our favorite Free Trader Globalists who support continued American subservience to the Unpunished Nazis will have their spin on this...

The UN should be de-funded

To start with, make them move their HQ. Just shut off the water and power (and block the sewers).

THIS has got to stop. The U.N. is the tool of every “bad guy” government out there seeking to screw over America, and the rest of the Free, non Muslim aligned World that allies themselves with America.

The U.N. ICLEI is illegally (NO treaty) promoting U.N. Agenda 21 regulations in counties, and towns throughout the States of America literally worming their way into leadership positions putting themselves in charge of governing American citizens.

It has to stop. We have to wake up. It’s happening.
