Why do Republicans hate the UN?
Is it because a Democratic president helped create it? I just don't get it. What is their problem? It's more important nowadays than ever for countries to come together for the good of all. Have they always hated the UN?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021935548We once fought a bloody and brutal war to keep Europeans from telling us how to run our country, now you goons want us to go back to being ruled by Europe?
Have you idiots seen what shape Europe is in? Do you really want them to be in charge of us? It's bad enough 0bama is trying to turn us into them.

1. Sovereignty
They see it as other countries trying to tell America what to do. And the reason this angers them is 1) most of them are not democratic. And/or 2) most of them are not Christian.
The libertarians have always hated it because libertarians largely favor isolationism.

4. Because many of the countries are non-white
They don't like that.
Naturally racism has to be thrown in.

12. Yup. Big concern "Dazzling intellectualism" at the UN
Being able to think is apparently a hallmark of the anticrust...and freepbaggers hate thinkers.
If we hated thinkers we would love and adore you goons at DU, since you are as far as thinkers as one can get.

11. Remember it's all about the fear.
Pushing the fear of the UN is easy and therefore is used often.
No it's not about fear, it's about freedom a concept none of you dopeheads would ever understand.

23. For a couple of reasons
1. The paranoid yahoos in their midst believe the UN is a shadow government for the New World Order. They think the UN is trying to take over the world.
2. The UN exists as an alternative to war. War = profits. Do the math.

Yeah the UN has done a bang up job at stopping wars.

28. They have to hate someone or something....
... or else they wouldn't be able to have a following.
Fear is a powerful motivator so they have to have something to fear.
I think they are a bunch of fraidy-cats. They are afraid of everything... UN, Socialism, a really really smart black president, gays, women, muslims, poor people, taxes, infrastructure spending, colored people, democrats, liberals,...
Did I miss anything?
Fear is all liberalism is, they take that fear and use it to control people. Don't believe me just look at their policies. They fear that climate change is going to kill us all so they want laws for that, they fear guns so they want those taken away, they fear being responsible for themselves so others must be forced to provide for them, and they fear conservatives so much that they want us to be shut up. They use their fear to strip liberty. We use our fear in order to strengthen liberty. So who's the fraidy cats now?

38. But they will do business with other countries,
use slave labor from other countries to produce their goods, use banks in other countries to hide their money and avoid paying US taxes, but they don't want to promote peace with other countries? That's one of the scariest things about conservatives. I will never understand this thinking. Thank all of you for your input.
There is a huge difference between being ruled by other countries and trading with them. Damn these people are stupid.
