Introducing the U.N. Eviction Act
(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.”
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.”
Not only should the UN get out of the US, but the US should get out of the UN.
Still, getting them out would be a good start, but it'll never pass, the democrats won't let it. They like dictators too much.

Oh. My. Stars!
Somebody gets it!
Of course, getting rid of the UN and their so called diplomats and all their myriad freebies would help immensely. That means we could make them pay for their traffic tickets and parking violations.
I have never understood why we, the American people got stuck with these UN morons who despise America and all she stands for.
I support this wholeheartedly! UN out of US, US out of UN!
GET THEM OUT!

Tancredo is right!
I am so tired letting the UN doing whatever they want on our soil and letting God knows who come in and bash US whenever they get the chance. And topping it off expecting the US to be the first to put our troops in harm's way and the first with the deepest pockets to fix whatever hell hole needs fixing while thier "leaders" make off with the cash out the back door.
I never was much a John Bircher, but it's getting old!

I'll refrain from my usual Sailor language and merely say, "Brava!"

We could only hope..............finally, someone who understands the absurdity of the U.N. and what it allows in today's climate.

I kicked my own son out of the house for fewer transgressions. I couldn't afford the lifestyle he had developed. He is now living in another state as a very ptoductive member of society.
Tough love I think they call it. I visit him often at his place.

While the Libs would *never* let the USA kick the UN out of NY, perhaps they would buy into this plan: Let's make the UN HQ a traveling site! 10 international cities -- say, Moscow, London, Berlin, NY, Rio, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Cairo, Bombay and Sydney. It stays at each location for 4 years before moving on -- at least that way we'd have 36 years of privacy before they returned! As an added bonus, the libs and their fascist dictators could see the world!

I will contact Tom Tancredos office today about petitions. The UN is a nasty, anti-semitic, American hating organization that we are forced to support that does all it can to undermine our goals and ambitions. We don't need those camel screwers anyway. Move the filthy muslims to iran for all I give a shit. Fuck em'

The US should have gotten out of the UN in 1950 when it was revealed that the UN was formed by enemy Communists within, by and for the expansion of Communism in 1945.
While I applaud Tom Tancredo for his effort, he'll get no more support from within than he got in the primary. It has to be a rank and file grass roots movement. Thank you Linda.

Tancredo is right on with this. The UN is useless, at best. Let some other nation of saps host the circle jerk.
BTW, I love your blog, Linda. Keep up the good work!
