Agree? - Disagree?
Thoughts on how we could make this happen?

Move it. The sooner the better.
Get it and all those corrupt diplomats out of our country.
These so-called diplomats pile up traffic tickets, parking fines, get in accidents, and break our laws with impunity and no thought of consequences or reprocussions.
Get rid of the UN from US soil.

Move it to some deserving place (France, Iran, Venezuela ...),
and "pay our fair share" of the expenses (roughly 0.5%)
But whatever we do, criticize the host nation as much as possible.

I bet that if we formed a non-profit organization so that contribution were tax deductible we could collect enough to foot the whole bill. And I'm only half joking. Wink

It's telling that neither Hezbollah nor Al Queda target what seems a juicy target, the UN in General Assembly.

Yes, get them out of the US but certainly not to Paris nor any other host with amenites and agendas. Let's meet Hugo half way and put it in the South. I suggest Sao Tome or maybe Surinam. Make it some pestilential, malaria infested crap hole where the diplomats are encouraged by circumstance to complete their business and go home.

Has anyone seen an online petition anywhere to encourage our politicians to stop funding these corrupt bureaucrats, and kick them out of the US. I would also like to point out that Sen. Tom Harkin defended his remarks. I sent him a message indicating my displeasure. Here is the link should you choose to do the same:

nope we can't reuse the buildings - they will cost too much to repair and we'd never get the stench out.

There is a time critical aspect to this. The UN is shopping a 3 billion dollar remodel. I've no use for Don Trump but he says it's a 2.5 billion dollar rip off. I don't think any of us/US wants to get stuck with the tab.

I would warn them that we are planning a "Air craft explosion like we we were to have to suppose to have done on 9/11/01 to the Twin Towers on the UN building." All the leftists kooks, Duers and their National reprehensable persons would flee NY in a flash. Just as they "know" we, the US destroyed the Twin Towers with explosive charges after the planes hit.

In response to the direct question:
"Should the UN be moved out of the US", 96 % of the people who voted in the FOXTV news survey said ,"yes."

The unfortunate consequence of its location, the UN, the largest communist body on the planet, ends up with the USA as its major benefactor....that would end immediately on its exodus from our shores. The days of that dog biting the hand that feeds it is clearly over....that dog don't hunt any more! and our contribution should go immediately to the 0.5% it deserves! The calculation would be easy...the UN bills the USA, the UN Building Rent = (bill - 0.5%*bill). My prediction, they wouldn't hang around long after that!
