Doesn't look good it only has a "6% chance of getting past committee" and "1% chance of being enacted" according to the link I have below.

[Brett85]

And Paul Broun is supposed to be "bad" on foreign policy issues?

Those are much better odds than I would have given it. The bookies in DC must thing the world is really unstable right now.

Doesn't a similar bill get brought up every year? The last one I heard about ~10 years ago IIRC, didn't get any significant traction. Hope this one does better.

Ron Paul usually introduces the bill every year.

This is a really bad idea. If the US leaves the UN, then they lose their veto power over everything the UN does. That will result in a much bigger and more powerful UN that is hostile to the US.

It's a really bad idea because we'd be giving up our ability to dictate to other countries what they can and can't do?

The US represents a large portion of the "power" the UN has. If the US leaves that equation, the UN becomes weaker, not stronger.

I am liking this guy more and more.

You could not possibly be more bizarrely wrong.

Leaving the UN is a VERY GOOD idea. If the US leaves the UN, then the UN loses any pretense it ever had of having any kind of legitimate authority - especially any kind authority over a sovereign & independent US.

And as for the idea that the US not being a member of the UN would somehow make the UN "bigger and more powerful" ...

I cannot for the life of me imagine how anyone could take such an idea seriously. Have you ever heard of a thing called the League of Nations?

Other countries are free to quit the UN if they want to.

huh? You think the UN needs "legitimate authority" to act? Yikes.

 

[AFPVet]

The U.N. is the modern day League of Nations... the Constitution does not give us authority to be the world police—as Ron said.

 

[Occam's Banana]

Do you know how to read? For one thing, I said "pretense [...] of legitimate authority". For another thing, I neither said nor implied anything about what the UN "needs" - only what they would lose.

Nice try at dodging the issue, though. So let me repeat it: you are wrong - leaving the UN is a very good idea.

 

[NoOneButPaul]

How could anyone think leaving the UN is not a good idea?

The UN is awful and represents central planning at it's finest.

 

[Koz]

Obama would never sign it, he is a globalist. I will call my senators and congressman on monday though.
