The US, when giving veto power to nations such as China and Russia, is ineffective. Kick them out? I don't know just yet. How about stripping China and Russia of veto powers, since they've proven to make irresponsible decisions to keep their proxies (Iran, DPRK, Syria, and etc) protected.
Ah, all the decisions by the US and "friends and allies" are responsible.
Got it.
More of the bs, you're either with us or against us garbage.

The US is wrong quite a bit of the time.
I get that you are a hippie, and all, and it's "hippie-ish" to hate America, but when 30,000 civilians are being slaughtered in Syria, and when Iran continues to threaten the stability of the entire Middle-East while continuing to commit crimes against humanity against their own people, and both China and Russia issue veto votes in opposition of strict sanctions against both countries, then I think it's time to strip them of their veto powers.
Veto power should be help by morally responsible countries, or, at the very least, countries who are savagely murdering their own people.
In case the far left lib media (whicjh is just about all of them) has neglected to tell you, the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) is dominated by Islamic Countries because as you know, when it comes to human right they're the go-to guys, just ask their women or gays.
"The Washington Free Beacon has obtained a report soon to be released by the United Nations that calls for an international campaign of legal attacks and economic warfare on a group of American companies that do business in Israel, including Hewlett-Packard, Caterpillar Inc., and Motorola Solutions Inc. The George W. Bush administration refused to participate in the HRC, but President Barack Obama joined it soon after taking office. Members of the HRC include infamous human rights abusers such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Libya, China, and Cuba...The report attempts to instigate a campaign of boycott, divestment, sanctions, and legal action against a litany of international companies doing business in Israel."
So Obama's man on the scene is Richard falk, a college professor who posted an anti-semitic cartoon on his blog and is also a 9-11 truther (like our self-avowed Commie bud, Van Jones).
They warn the companies that they can face legal risks and that the employees of the companies can be investigated and prosecuted for human rights violations.
When are we going to give the pukes in the UN the heave ho?
I love the persisting idea that Fox is some sort of underground rebel network, a subversive trumpeting above the "liberal establishment." New Yorkers are especially wise to this, since Fox Headquarters is right across the street from NBC smack dab in the middle of Midtown in the center of America's broadcasting hub, the most concentrated media wing of the country. It's in what is more or less the center of the western world. It's also owned by News corp, i.e. Rupert Murdoch, part of the largest media conglomerate in the world. If that's not mainstream, I don't know what is.
Say what you wish about them, but the John Birch Society got it right half a century ago. The Birchers said "Get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US." Sounds good to me.

Why the shameful personal attack on another member? furthermore, where do you get this hippies are anti-American crap?
Do AMERICANS really need to submit to what has become a high class international mafia? Do they need interlopers telling them what to do and not to do? Do Americans really need to send money to the UN so these rats can stay in nice hotels and have access to generous expense accounts...? Do you need an organization that will put Libya on a certain council and then take a civilized nation like Canada and exclude them? What the hell is that about?
The UN was a great idea 40 years ago..but it has morphed into a monster- GET RID OF THEM.
I don't see it was ever a good idea, right from the beginning.
Only a fantasy.
TIpping it over into the East River would not hurt my feelings.

"aging-hippie" is in that persons tagline. So, unless you find that person's self-proclamation of being a hippie offensive, there was no personal attack. So, please, go away.
