Below is an interesting email I received. If you want the US out of the UN, now's the time to act.

Yesterday, the Utah House of Representatives passed a resolution
urging the U.S. Congress to consider withdrawing the United States
from the United Nations. The resolution passed 42 to 33. It now
goes to the Utah Senate. We applaud the Utah House for its
decision and encourage the Utah Senate to do the same.
On January 22, 2004, Congressman Ron Paul addressed the Utah
legislature, both House and Senate, on the subject of withdrawing
the United States from the U.N. He also spoke to an over-flow
crowd at a rally in support of the Utah resolution.
Congressman Paul has, for many years, fought in the U.S. Congress
to withdraw the U.S. from the U.N. with his American Sovereignty
Restoration Act (H.R. 1146). Urge your U.S. representative to
cosponsor H.R. 1146. People from around our country know that the
U.N. is bad for the U.S. and it's time to get out.

Like Japan in 1931, when it left the League of Nations after the world body censured them for their aggression in China!
Or like Italy, which left the League of Nations in 1935 after it attacked Ethiopia!
Why wait for some foreign loser to make the first move? The U.S. should be at the forefront of a return to gunboat diplomacy and isolationism! After all, isolationism kept us safe from the entangling ravages of World War 2, right?

THE CREATURE IS COMING. The Creature from Jeckyl Island he wants you your paycheck your land and freedom. Read the book and find out how to help stop him.
Kindly tell us a few things the UN has actually done to make the world better or safer.
Oh, and while your at it, tell me any of those things that were done WITHOUT the USA bearing the brunt of the cost, whether in Korea in the 50's, or any other type of aid that was 'approved' by the UN.

This could get interesting. [;)]
The gene pool needs chlorine.
Yes, the U.S. has borne the brunt of costs for the U.N. for the past six decades... because for roughly half the time we called the shots. If we didn't like it, we vetoed it. Worked back then, works right now. It really is that simple.
It is precisely the U.N. that allows the U.S. to act with impunity while maintaining the facade of international legitimacy. When the U.N. approves a course of action (let's say, for argument's sake, bombing Yugoslavia into the Stone Ages), it's typically because we, the United States, told the U.N. that such a course of action was a good idea.
To be certain, they haven't always agreed with us. Iraq is a prime example. But you know what? The only people who ALWAYS get their way are spoiled rich kids whose mommies and daddies will give them anything and everything they want. They're soft, lazy, and complacent and * and moan when they don't get their way.
If we think of ourselves as a mature nation, then maybe we'd better start acting like it instead of threatening to take our toys away whenever we don't get our way.
The U.N. isn't perfect, but what construct of man is? It has its flaws, but we've seen the world without a world body and that world was full of petty tyrants running roughshod over anyone within arm's reach. Short-term isolationism leads to long-term f#$k-ups that we'll wind up paying for anyway and it costs more to boot.
At that time I was niave(sp) enough to wonder why some nut would want to put a stop to all the countries getting together to solve the world's problems.
I have since found out that each country is out for it's own profit and does not give a flying f--k about doing good for the world or any other country. France, Russia, and Germany are prime examples of this.
Well, after fifty years of playing as dirty as a British rugby player, they have yet to do anything more substantial than take us off the Commission for Human Rights.
So, for those of you oh-so terribly afraid that the U.N will take away our guns and make us all speak Esperanto, I say look at the facts: they can talk all they like, but without the money, manpower, and/or firepower to back it up, that's about all they'll be doing.

nice?? Does this only aply to us and no one else? A very bad history
for the U.N. to this date. Also a lot of money put down a rathole.
The only thing the U.N. wants from us is MONEY. Well more than our share, we supply. What does it get us?? They want "WORLD DOMMINATION"
over out now free country. No way should they make our laws that we
must abide by. We have too many laws already .. By the way, let us
just see what amount of money EACH country contributes to the U.N.
VIA population. Might be quite interesting.
Several years ago, we were planning a trip out West to visit some of Americas National Parks. A close friend, who is not prone to ask dumb questions, asked "Who controls the National Parks?" Told him I thought we did, he said read the back of the ticket.
You read for yourself. The backs of the Yellowstone, Mesa Verde and other tickets said "...too precious to intrust to one nation, these areas belong to the United Nations of the World!"
The people of this forum must understand they already have plans made for: Disarming ALL citizens of every nation.
They oppose Fundamental Christians for their One World Order
Already have the outline made for One Universal Nation of the Earth...no soverign nations allowed.
Have outlines defining distrubition of the earths resources and wealth.
There are web sites with this information for your research...GET US OUT NOW!

The United Nations was founded on October 24, 1945, so the senario where Japan in 1931 and Italy in 1935 got out of the United Nations is incorrect.

I'm starting to think that thunderbolt is one of those guys subscribing to some crazed right wing conspiracy theories. Don't get me wrong I'm really no fan of the UN...but I sure don't see it as the bad bad boogieman that can hurt the US....it just isn't in the cards. Beach
