Congress Moving to Cut U.S. Funding to U.N. in Wake of Anti-Israel Vote......

Looks like the Senate wants to start off with Censuring the UN.....then lets pull their funding. Then make them pay for protection.


Senate moves to condemn U.N. over Israel.....


Congressional Republicans are moving swiftly to denounce the United Nations Security Council’ recent action toward Israel, with GOP lawmakers in both chambers preparing to introduce disapproval resolutions aimed at the United Nations as soon as the new Congress convenes.

Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), will introduce a “sense of the Senate” resolution next week disapproving of the Security Council's condemnation of Israeli settlement-building in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, a source familiar with the matter said on Friday. The resolution is intended to be a companion to the expected House action against the U.N. and could place both chambers at odds with the international body as Congress returns next month.

Several aides in both parties say there are bipartisan discussions about the Senate censuring the U.N. given the outrage over last week’s Israel vote. .....snip~

Were more Team of..... "If it aint Right, don't fall into our sight".

 

Ha ha ha what a load of codswallop, this Obama-as-the-root-of-all-evil stuff, looming alone in the penumbra of the oval office, stroking a cat... The poor man's about as meek as Carter was. Ha ha ha.

Yeah - grasping at straws and trying to hold up water in one's hand is pretty much all that's left for the tenants of a decadent empire. Empires which, BTW, are getting shorter and shorter in terms.

Contrary to what fools generally believe, the UN is a mean for the US, with its veto, to actually impose hegemony. Without it, the US is much more isolated. I am also anti-UN (as it is) for that very reason.

Yeah - the cowboy with a black eye.

I am pretty sure that America's ennemies will be absolutely terrified by a President that's close to cause civil war in its own country. The rest of the world doesn't fear half of what half of the US population fears.

Force is to admit that politically, a "strong man" Trump isn't.

Well, not yet, anyway.

 

First off, BO the peep isn't evil.....just incompetent and a failure. The record is clear.....he had no business playing where the big boys play.

 

If Trump is hated that much by half (or more) of the population, how do you figure he will be stronger than Obama's? It's not a question of how loud one can scream/tweet that makes the difference - it's back up from the base.

 

When you look at all the counties that voted for Trump and not a Popular vote wherein one State that has more population than 4 or 5 put together.....then you will have a final piece of the puzzle as to what the Real Picture looks like.

When Trump fails like BO the Peep did.....then you can have some ground to stand on. Until then.....assuming. Doesn't help make any factual case.

Clearly over half are more hopeful now. Than they were under BO Peep and his PeeWee League.

 

UN stands for United Nations, meaning they have failed abysmally with Israel and Palestine.
But move forward from 1945 when the UN was formed to today, and now they want to control the world
From their web page:
The United Nations can take action on the issues confronting humanity in the 21st century, such as peace and security, climate change, sustainable development, human rights, disarmament, terrorism, humanitarian and health emergencies, gender equality, governance, food production, and more.
http://www.un.org/en/sections/about-un/overview/index.html
So why is the US paying around $5 billion a year for an organization that wants to control US policies but is a failure at uniting nations?

 

It's the only world-wide peace-keeping organization. Bush was anti-UN, and chose to take all matters into his own hands. He got us into the Iraqi war, disregarding the UN plea. He also ignored the Pope, millions of his citizens, and millions of demonstrators around the world. I wonder how many terrorists we created, killing innocent children, brothers, sisters, parents, etc; in that war. Probably started a real nice base for ISIS. Oh, and then to top it off, there were no weapons of mass destruction.

Looks like the new administration is immediately posturing itself for another war. Rah-Rah!

 

Where was that peace keeping Organization in Syria? Libya? The Ivory Coast? The Congo and Sudan?

You need to come up with another excuse other than Bush Jr from over a decade ago.

Yes BO the Peep allowed Daesh a real nice base to start from. Even better was how the Mope went silent on how Ansar al Sharia spread. Clue that in with current reality.

 

" Congress Moving to Cut U.S. Funding to U.N. in Wake of Anti-Israel Vote......" - it's amazing how many indirect problems having FAITH (belief w/out evidence, which all religions seem to have) causes in this world. "We are god's chosen people, and he had given us this land" is a very very dangerous belief. Christians (and Jews of course) seem to be defending this belief whenever they defend the Bible.

 

Try reading the Hamas charter and lets us know......how they aren't defending the same belief through their religion and the Koran. Of course then read up on the Saud, then both Sunni and Shia Muslims.

 

He's not evil, just naive and very foolish. He is still a 'community organizer' and would have been better suited to as a small time community organizer somewhere in small town America

He has already released prisoners from Gitmo who have since returned to battle so why not release more while he has the chance? He will likely pardon Beau Bergdahl as well.

 

And how's that been working out? ISIS is murdering thousands, committing genocide in Iraq, and the UN concerns themselves with Jews building houses.

Terrorism is the fault of terrorists, and no one else.

 

True, and one of the premier governments practicing terrorism in the world is the Israeli government.

 

...closely followed by America which has been routinely arming, funding and supporting some of the most grubby and murderous despots the world has ever known.

So you're going to get better results by not talking to your opponents at all? The UN does fail to stop wars a lot and we may not always agree with what they do but at least there is a mechanism available by which we can TRY to limit conflict and that is ALL the UN was created for and EVER supposed to do. It is a forum where Nations have the opportunity to talk before they go to war, nothing else. It is NOT a step toward any sort of world government and was never meant to be. That is one reason why the League of Nations failed, and why the UN has the crucial rule saying it cannot violate a Nation's sovereignty in regard to its internal affairs.

This is something conservatives seem to fail to understand. Just because something only manages limited success doesn't mean it's a total failure and you're somehow better off with nothing at all

 

Its more than just talking before they go to war. Yes the League of Nations failed before.....that doesn't mean a New one couldn't be made to work.

 

Why not post a list of those committing terrorist acts throughout the world and see which religion is at the top?

If you make these sort of claims you should post some credible support. But you have none, of course.

Do you feel no one sshould be allowed to sell weapons to Muslims?

 

There are so many, and I did not discover this fact just yesterday. USS Liberty in 1967 stands out at the moment.

Many years ago, the now deceased Alan Watts wrote an article in Playboy entitled "The Most Dangerous Book in The World", slamming the bible and several other religious books. His theme was the number of atrocities and wars done in the name of religion. I'm an equal opportunity critic of religious nonsense, but it seems to me the Christians and Jews are at the top of the list when it comes to wickedness, though they are each capable of good.

 

Absolutely, if there is even a hint that weapons are being sold to oppressive regimes. All arms sales to Saudi Arabia, for example, should be immediately halted. Likewise Israel, which actually gets them for nothing from America. You're giving Israel $4 billion a year out of your taxes; money much better spent domestically instead of propping up a pariah state which gives you nothing in return.

 

It seems to you? Why not do some reading on the subject? It can be fascinating and then you can enter into the conversation with a further understanding of recent history. http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/

You feel that Saudi Arabia and Israel are the two most repressive regimes in the world?

 

Yes, two of the worst, absolutely.
https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2016/country-chapters/israel/palestine
https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2015/country-chapters/saudi-arabia
And America supports and either sells or gives, in the case of Israel, arms to both of them.

 

I understand hating Israel, a country full of Jews who are superior scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, financiers... but why hate Saudis?

 

Actually, supporting Israel economically and militarily is the money well spend, and promotes peace in the region. Were Israel left to fend for itself, first stupid Arabic country which tries anything funny, will get a nuclear missile lobbed up its idiotic a$$.
