I am one who believes US out of the UN, UN out of the US. We pump money into this useless organization and what do we get out it - criticism. For real?

Ya think they'll revoke Bomma's Nobel Peace Prize?

why in the hell don't we let someone with a set of balls be our UN representative? You know, someone who would say something like, hey is ISIS following the Geneva convention guidelines? Do they follow all of the crap that you are claiming that the US does? Just a thought.

I'd kick them out of this country. They can take the building and put it in Iran next to their peaceful nuclear weapons facility. Or maybe North Korea. Kim Jung Ding Dong will make them all get bowl cuts or get fed to wild hungry dogs. We should have withdrew from the UN years ago. It's corrupt and completely worthless.

The UN is a monument to the politics of useless gestures.

We can thank the Father of the Progressive movement Woodrow Wilson for the UN. Actually, he started the League of Nations, but they morphed into the UN later.

Thanks, Woody.

All while they invite and listen to the testimony of the thug parents of the thug killed in Mo. Yeah like I needed further reinforcement of the uselessness and irrelevance of this collection of thieves, scumbags and liars known as the "UN."

Here's some more encouraging information about this den of thieves.

Lavish Salaries and Benefits

In order to attract and retain qualified staff, the U.N. has long operated under the Noblemaire principle, which states that professional staff salaries should be determined by comparison to those of the civil service of the member state with the highest civil service pay levels. Ever since the U.N. was founded, this has been the U.S.

U.N. professional categories, however, do not line up neatly with U.S. civil service grades. To address this, the ICSC calculates equivalencies between the two as a basis for determining compensation. According to the ICSC, U.N. compensation significantly exceeds that of the U.S. equivalent.[1] Specifically:
•The seven U.N. professional or higher categories in New York receive net remuneration between 26.6 percent and 44.2 percent higher than the net remuneration of U.S. federal employees based in Washington, D.C.
•On average, weighting for the number of U.N. employees in each category, U.N. net remuneration is 31.3 percent higher than that of their U.S. equivalents in Washington, which is up from 29.5 percent in 2011.[2]
•Even after applying its own cost-of-living adjustment for New York, which is significantly higher than that used by the U.S. government, the ICSC reports that the average net remuneration of U.N. employees was 17.7 percent higher than the U.S. equivalent.
•Based on the 2012 ICSC report, the most numerous U.N. professional grade (P-4) earned an average net remuneration in 2012 of $136,351, versus $104,704 for the U.S. equivalent.

In addition to these lavish salaries, U.N. employees enjoy generous benefits and allowances, including a rental subsidy of up to 80 percent above a specified threshold; education grants for staff serving outside their home country amounting to 75 percent of tuition (up to $32,255 per annum), payable through the fourth year of college up to the age of 25; and annual vacation of 30 days, 10 official holidays, 16 weeks of paid maternity leave, and four to eight weeks of paid paternity leave.[3]

The U.N should have been dissolved years ago. Nobody has the balls to pull out.

We used to have one around 2005. John Bolton was good and usually told it how it was.

He was the speaker at the PA State GOP annual meeting this year. Smart, right, and also a great sense of humor.

We used to have one around 2005. John Bolton was good and usually told it how it was.

...and he was consistently pilloried by the media for doing so.

The United Nations is a joke. Sharia law, beheadings, political prisoners? No worries.

Questioning terrorists or conducting an official investigation into a police shooting? IT'S ON!!

**** the U.N.
