We got voted off of the Human Rights Commission and bloody Sierra Leone and Sudan got voted onto the Commission? The Sudan got voted onto a Human Rights Commission? The Sudan?? The place where 20 shekels gets you your choice of slave?

Ex-CUSE me??!! Is this a joke??

Why the hell is that pustulent pocket of parasitic pismires still on my island? Why the hell isn't the UN headquartered someplace where they can see the good that they do?

You know, like the EFFING SUDAN??!!

Let me say this real slow-like: We don't need you. The UN needs the United States, it ain't the other way around. So, why don't you take your files, and your furniture, and your ingratitude, and your graft, and your bribery, and your kickbacks and all the rest of the gradoo that comes with letting Third World despots think they're equal to civilized people and GET THE HELL OUT!!

YOU! YES, YOU WITH THE UN FLAG! OFF MY ISLAND! SCRAM! GIT! SHOO!

China cheers??!!

Cheer this, you two-bit, four-flushing, dirty, rotten, pinko, leftist excuse for a tin-plated, addle-pated, mangy, dirt-ignorant, syphlitic, illegitimate offspring of diseased tapeworms!

I'd challenge the whole slimy maggot-infested pile of you to duels, but I don't want to splatter goat manure over half the Eastern Hemisphere.

Somebody should have pimp-slapped some manners into the lot of you the first time you stuck a psuedopod out from under whichever rock your mother yacked you up on.

There goes my blood pressure again.

Sonehow I am not all that surprised. (By the erection... err... election `results?' or the `posturing' afterwards. {SIGH!})


As for getting the UN (Hmmmmmmmmmm... `un?'?? Makes one wonder doesn't it? {WAN GRIN!}) out of this country... Yep! Should have been done *a long time ago*!

Hold that rant a second. Think about what's going on here. The UN has become this horrible out of control mess. The school yard bully tactics it uses are against every possible human right ever documented. I'm not alone here in wishing the UN would disolve tomorrow and the world as a whole would be better off for it. As a 49 year old, I remember back in the old days the indoctrination of youth started with "trick or treat for UNICEF". Remember? Millions of starving kids in _________(fill in the country) and US kids feed their sweet tooth,,,feel guilty,,,collect $$$,,,give it to the UN.

Now all of a sudden, the UN is saying the US is unfit to determine human rights violations (mental flash to a UN soldier disarming civilians in the name of "peace")(peace for who(m), or is it "piece", as in "piece of the action"?)?!? But a country like Sudan is?!? This is going to rock the socks of a lot of bliss thinkers, and make them choose sides. My bet is that most will choose US over UN.(at least I hope it goes that way)

Follow the $$$ also. The US *owes* what? 1.5 billion to the UN in past due dues? Clinton tried and tried to sneak patyment through for during his last 2 years in office, and couldn't get it past Congress. How much of this is the UN trying to put pressure on the US to pay up? My guess is that it's 100% about the $$$$.

FWIW, I certainly hope stories like the above make headlines and keep the public stirred up enough to keep the purse strings tied.You may continue with the rants

Lawdog, once again your words ring true. I must say however, that I am in a bit of awe at your unmatched ability to speak in so eloquent a manner.

Why did the FBI spend all that money on a training house when there was a perfect building that needed this type of training preformed?

On their way out of country, the UN can stop in Long Beach, pack up and pick up the Chinese, and proceed to their new location, about 20,000 leagues under the Pacific Ocean.

United Socialest Nations of the World

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT WHEN THOSE TARGETED FOR HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES GET TOGETHER AND TRY TO CLOSE THE DOOR ON THE ACCUSERS?

Today's UN is no more than the United Socialest Nations of the World. I believe in what what Adolf Hitler wrote...'you need to have a war every 20 years, to carry out the garbage'. When/If America pulls out of the United Nations it will start us on the slide towards a war.

Let's pull out and tell them to move their building the another country.

MR. LawDog; Am I to believe from your exposition that you might have a slight, very slight, problem with the United States being removed from the UN Human Rights(?) Commision? If so then I will have to agree with you 110%.
I will commend your use of the language. Many years ago one of my Grandfathers spent some time as a muleskinner in the Field Artillery. He always indicated that to truly discuss someone, when you got done they would thank you. And swear words weren't allowed. Unlike many others here and in other places you seem to try and adhere to that standard.

Actually, I think the UN is perfectly located. NYC and NY have to be one of the best examples of control freaks gone mad, and generally oblivious to individual freedom and personal responsibility.

Yes, I think the UN fits right in with that crowd ...

Mother Europa Slave States (MESS)?

Lawdog: - Brav-d$#n-O Zulu!!!!
I would suggest that the UN give up the palatial digs and put wheels under their possibles and require themselves to home port, for at least two years, in each of those countries that they cherish - a roving, nay - nomadic - UN headquarters.

Madison: I agree - but - can we call it something else...please? I have a (not so small) problem relegating "USN" to anything related to the UN (or other creepy crawlers, for that matter).



Oleg: RIGHT ON!!! (As usual.)

Hey! Yous guys are too rough on the UN. So what if we are behind on our payments. Seems to me that a little creative leadership on the part of our President will work wonders in adjusting attitudes toward the US. "We owe you guys $1.0+ billion. Seems to me some serious sucking up due. Get busy!"

The UN serves a vital environmental function that is just now becoming apparent. The UN is were a number of prominent out-of-power democrats find employment. This ability of seamlessly recycle fascists and keep them healthy, wealthy, and wise until they can re-assume power in the good ol' USofA can not be dismissed as insignificant. Why ex-president Clintoon has repeatedly tried out the president of the world gig!

Makes me feel warm all over.

Aw, c'mon, Lawdog, why doncha tell us how you really feel? Don't hold back, now.

A magnificent use of the language to display utter disgust, particularly this jewel:

I don't know if they need us that bad...

...without the US on the security council to veto it, the UN could quite possibly pass the global tax on the international exhange of currencies they were talking about last year. Such a tax would bring over one trillion years annually to the United Nations.

They could use that money to form their UN army. Wait, they already have one. The Canadian Armed Forces.

OOOOHHH...takin' a shot at the Canadians. I'm sorry, Canadian TFLers, but as Andy Grifith used to say, facts is facts. For some reason, Canada seems to LOVE the idea of their military being blue beret wearing soldiers of the New World Order. I've seen a movie about it (entitled "Peacekeepers"), a poem (??) about it on the internet, and numerous websites extolling the Canadian love of UN peacekeeping. Perhaps our Candian TFL friends could roam their home provinces, smacking the stuffing out of their countrymen until this problem is corrected?

Let's see . . . how many US taxpayer dollars are invested in the UN -- and their associated entities -- every year. Talk about money down a rat hole, our Congress does a better job of resource stewardship.

Moreover, that's just the money, which is far less significant than their communist, egalitarian policies and their political decisions and commitments.

The US should GET OUT of the UN right now (actually, a long time ago)!

The problem with internationalism is that any multinational political entity will become as free as the least free and as rich as the least rich. Having Sudan, a country with a state-sponsored slave trade, on the human rights commission just shows why we must fight to maintain our national independence.

If we continue to give up control to international organizations, we will soon have no freedom left to defend.

The UN anually receives $10B from the US and some very much smaller contributions from other nations. That would be a sweet deal to swindle 1 Trillion dollars anually from the US.

U.S. Loses Seat on U.N. Drug Policy

U.S. Loses Seat on U.N. Drug Policy


By DAFNA LINZER, Associated Press Writer

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - In another embarrassing blow, the United States lost its seat on an international drug monitoring body on the same day it was voted off the U.N. Human Rights Commission, U.N. and U.S. officials confirmed Monday.

The United States had campaigned for a third term for U.S. Ambassador Herbert Okun, who has served as vice president on the International Narcotics Control Board. But he was voted off Thursday in the same secret-ballot procedure and by the same countries that cost the United States it's seat on the human rights commission.

``That, we find, very regrettable,'' U.S. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said in Washington on Monday. ``We intend to continue our engagement on the international narcotics issues. We'll continue our cooperation with and strong support for the U.N. international drug control program as well as with the International Narcotics Control Board.''

The 13-member International Narcotics Control Board monitors compliance with U.N. drug conventions on substance abuse and illegal trafficking.

The 54-member U.N. Economic and Social Council, the main U.N. body responsible for economic and social issues, cast secret ballots in both votes Thursday.

The 70-year-old Okun served as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations between 1985-1989 and has been on the narcotics board since 1997.

The board deals with aspects of legal and illegal drug control, including monitoring government controls over chemicals used in the illicit manufacture of drugs. It also assists in preventing the diversion of those chemicals into illicit traffic and identifies weaknesses in drug control systems.

How President Bush Should Have Responded

Dear UN,

It has come to my attention that you all have decided you don't want the US to be a member of your human rights commission. Allow me to explain what the US has decided on and how we're going to handle this...first of all, pack up all of your @#$% and the get the ^&@# out of NYC, your operations waste a lot of precious real estate and the City of New York could use the space for another stadium. Secondly, the next time you ^&@#ers want to assemble a military operation, to help a county and her people defend itself against evil aggression...try asking Sweden, because we all know they're a force to be reckoned with...ooo, ooo, Austria, now there's a good one. History has proven how much the Austrians love non-Austrians, @#$%, why not choose Germany or Japan while you're at, you ^&@#ing chicken-^&@#ers. Lastly, the buck stops here, the USA doesn't need the UN and certainly doesn't need to finance the ^&@#ing thing. So as of today, ^&@# you guys- we're going home. Oh, and Europe, have fun make believing your not our little bitch and tell your new friends in Africa, the Middle East and Asia not too **** us off or doing anything stupid, because we're watching and this time we're on our own ^&@#ing team.

President Bush

Trouble, Bush needs you on his policy team.

Failing that, you should be writing for "West Wing".

I would love to see Martin Sheen deliver that speech you wrote.
