( WASHINGTON, DC ) – U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) introduced legislation today that would effectively move the United Nations headquarters out of the United States. The legislation is being introduced amid incessant anti-American and anti-Jewish political grandstanding from the podium of the General Assembly.
“The U.N. has coddled brutal dictators, anti-Semites, state sponsors of terrorism, and nuclear proliferators – while excluding democratic countries from membership and turning a blind eye to humanitarian tragedies and gross violations of human rights around the globe,†Tancredo said. “The U.N.’s continued presence in the United States is an embarrassment to our nation, and the time has come for this ineffective organization to pack its bags and hit the road.â€
The United Nations is hosting dictators from around the world this week, including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran’s brutal dictator. His speech has drawn thousands of protestors in New York City.
Tancredo’s bill, dubbed the U.N. Eviction Act, would direct Attorney General Michael Mukasey to initiate condemnation proceedings against all United Nations properties within the United States, and sell the property to the highest bidder on the open market. The proceeds will be given to the Treasury Department to pay down the national debt. The bill would also bar the future purchase of property in the United States or U.S. territories by the U.N. or any of its agencies, and revokes the diplomatic privileges and immunities that U.N. officials and representatives currently enjoy.
“I refuse to sit idly by while Americans are forced to host Islamofascist dictators, like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, so they can spew anti-American rhetoric just blocks from Ground Zero,†Tancredo continued.
The United Nations, an organization known for its bureaucracy and conciliatory actions, has become a showcase for anti-American dictators like Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and, of course, Ahmadinejad. The organization has also become little more than a rubber stamp for Chinese and Russian foreign policy initiatives – blocking membership by the democratic nation of Taiwan in the world body, and failing to take any meaningful steps to halt the ongoing genocide in Sudan or the illicit nuclear programs in North Korea and Iran.
“If the U.N. is so keen to accommodate the foreign policy demands of rogue nations and dictatorships, perhaps the world body might be more comfortable relocating to one,†concluded Tancredo. “I’m sure Ban Ki-Moon will have no trouble securing a new location in downtown Pyongyang or Tehran.â€

Sweet, futile, but sweet.

He's right, but no one will listen.

I don't think the UN actually owns the land in NYC but I'm good with evicting them.
More so if it includes us withdrawing.

Uh, the UN is a failure like the League of Nations. Yes, get the hell out of America.

It is worse -- the UN is committed to bashing the USA at every turn, while trying to shake us down like an armed homeless dude in an alley.
It also is the largest pit of corruption and cronyism ever seen since mankind has documented anything.

This move might bring that "god" that Ahmadinejhad wants to bring forth. After all, Nostradamus prophesied that the one would be wearing a "blue turban"....... ya never know.....

I remember the UN threatened to leave back in Reagan's day. He told them that when they went, he would wave goodbye from the pier.
Good riddance when the go. Sooner is better than later. :tongue:

Can't we just tell them to evacuate like when a hurricane is coming and when they do we just lock them out?

Reagan wouldn't have been the only one.
But alas, the UN is so much like the Marxists, Communists and NeoComs in this country which idolize every word that issues forth from that mountain (of ratshit). They make theses grandiose promises - like leaving - AND NEVER FOLLOW THROUGH! :banghead:
