Time to leave the United Nations?

Encouraging that some people are thinking this way.  Larry Greenfield of the American Freedom Alliance explains to PJTV how the UN is a disaster and that an American Senator will suggest no longer funding the group.  I believe that Canada should do the same.   And unless I am mistaken, we have been instrumental in setting up an alternative international group called "Association of Democratic Countries" that would be an ideal start.

Here were some of his points.
  • Does the UN even serve it's own mission and mandate?
  • Does it serve US interests - or even those of America's allies?
  • Founded on cusp of WWII but supposed to be united.
  • To get in you had to have declared war on the German Fascists or Imperialist Japanese.
  • It wasn't meant to be a collection of 192 countries - including the most repressive regimes in the world.
  • It wasn't meant to fail to prevent war's, genocides, nuclear proliferation, famines etc.
  • Hostile to US 1st Amendment with Blasphemy Laws, Hate Speech Codes (critical of Jihad).
  • Against the US 2nd Amendment - global gun registry/grab
  • They ignore calls to reform (Iran Oil for Food) - and get worse.
  • (Some) UN Peace Keepers brutalize kids- offer candy for sexual favours.
  • Create an alternative or stop paying for it.
  • Congresswomen Ileana Ros-Lehtinen R, FL will be tabling a  motion on stopping UN funding.
  • Some people have a romantic notion that it is great to have a meeting place for everyone in the world - but most of them are our enemies so why do we fund them?
  • There has been regime change all over the world - except at the UN, why?
  • Not arguing against International Affairs, just against the corrupt UN bureaucrats. 
  • Start new conversations like G20, soon to be G21 etc.
  • Actually takes away from other more important interests - US/Mexican Boarder, Int'l Taxation competitiveness etc.
  • Limited Government has been argument for UN but it doesn't work.
  • Re-access NATO too.
  • Cheap Hawk.  One F-35 Fighter Jet ($250 million+) pays for alot of conventional troops.
  • 1st we send in the Navy
