No and get the hell out of the US! The UN is an evil farce that has gone by the sell by date. Time to scrub the board and start over.

Co-ordinate with the Japanese and the other big-percentage countries. A nice firm “NO” position should be taken here, please. Starve the monster to death, if that’s what it takes.

We do need to get out of the UN, but we can not do it as long as the UN remains in a postion to pursue its goal of becoming the One World Government. I just wish I could say our own government was not helping them achieve that goal.

How are those reforms coming along? I see an opportunity for negotiations here.

Not that any of our statesmen/women would do anything that logical. Crap.

Don’t worry. They won’t have to make these special requests any more when the next Dem administration pushes through giving 0.7% of American GDP to the UN.

How are the Republicans any better? Bush has increased funding to the UN.

Could they send me an application for work? I want to work for them, unlimited travel, unlimited expenses, no accounting, that’s who I want to work for.

Back at U.N.,

Kofi Annan...says he hopes a widely held perception that his successor, Secretary-General Ban, is "too close" to America is nothing but a "passing phase.

We sure do like boot in our teeth.

Don’t worry, once LOST, the Law of the Sea Treaty takes hold, the UN will tax and fine it’s way to being the highest funded government on the planet, and appropriations and requests won’t be part of that picture. And with that level of power and the corresponding loss of sovereignty on the part of the US and the West, they will be less concerned than ever about legitimacy as they pursue their goals.

They should run them out of town and put that prime real estate to some good use.

Unfortunately, The UN is going through a large renovation here in NYC. They ain’t going anywhere, anytime soon.

How about this? Let them just finish those renovations, then drag everyone in there to Newark, and put them on planes to Switzerland. Then use the building for the World Trade Center V. 2.0.

The US should refuse to pay the fees.

Blasphemy!

What does the UN say to the US? “Give us your money. Now shut up and sit down!”

I like Michael Savage’s approach.

Close the UN. Kick every diplomat out. Turn the building into housing for the homeless.

No, we absolutely cannot get out of the UN. We have a Security Council veto which stops the idiots from doing too much damage. What we should do is to use that veto all the time and thus destroy the UN from within.

Hey, those refugees the in Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Burundi, and Haiti don't just rape themselves, you know. Someone's got to pay for it. Might as well be the United States.

Why, why, WHY are we still a member? WHY do we host them in New York? Why would we consider giving another $1.1B to an organization that exists to ***-block America at every chance? We are acting like an abused wife that takes ongoing beatings instead of leaving.

Every day I read the news I become a little more isolationist.

It’s disgusting that we support the UN. It’s even sadder that our government is willing to pony up a 25% increase.

Better to house this useless organization on US soil. That way we can liquidate the corrupt institution quickly if things get out of control.

Can’t we fund our share of this huge tax increase just by putting the rent up?
