#1 New Years Resolution: Out of UN NOW

First order of business for the new year? Remove fangs from our neck. Why do we have to continue paying off these thugs, moochers, looters and destroyers? Let's face it - the UN is not the organization we set out to create after World War II. So be it. It's one thing to make a mistake, fair enough. But not to correct it doubles the wrong and speaks to a much more egregious failure, moral bankruptcy. It's no wonder everyone craps all over us. We are a joke. The UN votes itself a raise and we have to fund it?
Remember that kid in school whohad no friends, so he would try to buy your friendship all the time in every conceivable, ass kissing way? Remember the contempt you held for that chump? He is us.

We need a a grassroots movement and we need it now. Evil is made possible by the sanction you give it. We must WITHDRAW OUR SANCTION (paraphrasing Rand here.) Our actions (or inactions) have consequences.
Time For U.N. To Pack Up, Go Home IBD

United Nations: The U.N. voted 178-1 to hike its spending 10% next year to an all-time high of $4.2 billion. The lone standout in voting against the record rise in spending? The U.S., which again finds itself alone at the U.N.

The U.S. has tried for some time to rein in the runaway United Nations and its various extremist political factions and bureaucracies, but to no avail. Now, the U.S. has become an outcast in the very organization it founded and has funded for 60 years.

Last Saturday, the U.N. announced its “marathon talks” had resulted in a $4.17 billion basic budget — even though the U.S. dissented. By the way, our dissent is meaningless, since we’re still obliged to pay just under a quarter of that budget, or roughly $922 million.

But we in fact pay much more than that each year.

In 2005, the most recent year for which data are available, we spent more than $5 billion on the U.N. and related activities, ranging from food programs to peacekeeping. That’s a rise of 67% during George Bush’s first term alone. So much for stingy Americans.

Too bad we’re not getting our money’s worth. In fact, the U.N. has become such a massive, unwieldy, corrupt organization that, at this point, it seems beyond repair.

To list the U.N.’s multitudinous sins here would require something the size of a phone book. Suffice to say, in recent years the U.N. has been involved in a variety of policy debacles and outright crimes.

These include the oil-for-food scandal, the largest financial scandal ever; charges that U.N. peacekeepers abused and prostituted young girls in Africa and the Balkans; did nothing about the genocide of millions of people in Darfur and Rwanda; turned its back on democratic Taiwan in favor of communist China; allows Iran to expand its illicit nuclear enrichment program; and so on.

Why such a bad record? Part of the problem is the U.N., which was started after World War II with the best of humanitarian intentions, has been hijacked by a variety of left-wing and anti-Semitic agendas, pushed by an aggressive pack of anti-U.S. and anti-democratic nations that tend to vote as a bloc in the U.N.

According to Heritage Foundation fellow Brett Schaefer, these U.N. voting blocs include the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the so-called Non-Aligned Movement, and the Group of 77 developing nations (which has 130 members — not 77.) All these groups are, in fact, anti-American, anti-West and anti-free market.

“So, where the U.N. actually could have a role in advancing economic policies that enhanced freedom, that enhanced opportunity, that enhanced economic development,” former U.S. ambassador to the U.N., John Bolton recently explained, “the mind-set of the U.N. itself as played out in its conference rooms and corridors is actually exactly to the contrary.”

The U.N., in short, has become a major way for nondemocratic, noncapitalist countries to siphon wealth from the wealthy countries — without doing anything that remotely looks like democratic, pro-market reform in their own countries.

The U.S. goes along mainly because there are many people out there — call them UNICEF-Americans — who actually believe the U.N.’s propaganda about saving “the children.”
I call them leftards and they have done enormous harm not only to this country but to the oppressed peoples of the world. Facts are irrelevant to these miscreants, only slaking their insatiable guilt, no matter how high the cost to the individual, is what's important. Freaks like Rose O'Donut -- she'd eat whole populations to quiet her unquenchable depression.
