WHY ARE WE EVEN IN THE U.N.?

A response to an e-mail of April 14, 2004

Paul,

Thanks for passing that along. And to think we call these nations -- especially Pakistan and Saudi Arabia -- our allies. I see that Kuwait -- you remember, the folks we were supposedly defending in Desert Storm? -- votes against us 2/3 of the time. 

The UN is the biggest collection of political pond scum ever to stink up this planet, as well as the east side of Manhattan. Our vote in the UN carries no more weight than the vote of, say, Sudan or North Korea. We need to get out of the UN and all of its subsidiary organizations. Period. And we need to go back to being a sovereign nation.

Let's pull out of the UN and do it now. Who cares about "world opinion"? If this list is any indicator it is strongly against us to begin with. Quit letting the likes of the nations listed below kick us around.

Write your congressthing and tell him to support HR 1146 -- introduced by Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) -- which would get the US out of the UN altogether. http://www.house.gov/paul/legis/106/hr1146.htm

And if you don't like the UN, don't support candidates like Bush or Kerry. They both love the UN and will do nothing to extricate us from it. They will only further entangle us in its satanic web. This is just one more reason to vote Libertarian.

No King But Jesus,

This is documented Fact folks. You all need to yell like hell on this one.

How they vote in UN

Below are the actual voting records of various Arabic/Islamic States which are recorded in both the US State Department and United Nations records:

Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time.

Qatar votes against the United States 67% of the time.

Morocco votes against the United States 70% of the time.

United Arab Emirates votes against the U. S. 70% of the time.

Jordan votes against the United States 71% of the time.

Tunisia votes against the United States 71% of the time.

Saudi Arabia votes against the United States 73% of the time.

Yemen votes against the United States 74% of the time.

Algeria votes against the United States 74% of the time.

Oman votes against the United States 74% of the time.

Sudan votes against the United States 75% of the time.

Pakistan votes against the United States 75% of the time.

Libya votes against the United States 76% of the time.

Egypt votes against the United States 79% of the time.

Lebanon votes against the United States 80% of the time.

India votes against the United States 81% of the time.

Syria votes against the United States 84% of the time.

Mauritania votes against the United States 87% of the time.


US Foreign Aid to those that hate us:

Egypt, for example, after voting 79% of the time against the United States, still receives $2 billion annually in US Foreign Aid.

Jordan votes 71% against the United States and receives $192,814,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

Pakistan votes 75% against the United States receives $6,721,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

India votes 81% against the United States receives $143,699,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

Perhaps it is time to get out of the UN and give the tax savings back to the American workers who are having to skimp and sacrifice to pay the taxes.

Pass it along. Everyone needs to know this.

Might even mention it to your congressman, who knows it anyway... What a disgrace!!! No wonder the world has no respect for us.
