Huckabee – US out of UN
I can’t think of any person or business who would invest 28% of the cost of running an organization, and then listen to members of that organization blast you day after day, year after year. That is exactly what is happening with the United States and its membership in the United Nations. Even during these very tough economic times for our country, when we are incurring deficits in the trillions of dollars, we still pay 28% of the operating expenses of the United Nations.
Let’s end the diplomatic excesses that these people enjoy. Let any country that is willing to spend the money that the United States is hosting – let them have it. Give it to the Saudis and let these diplomats suck the sand out of the Saudi desert for a few summers and see if that’s where they’d like to go and make their ridiculous speeches.
For too many years the United Nations has held its hand out for our money, and then thumbed its collective nose at the United States. It is obvious that all of the well intentioned efforts to encourage reform within the United Nations have failed. We have reached the point of no return with this organization. Reform has failed – now we should ask them to leave our shores.
