U.N.: Time for the U.S. to exit

The United Nations was formed in 1945. 77 countries walked out of Israel’s president’s speech yesterday.

The United States is historically and structurally the largest financial contributor to the United Nations, responsible for 22% of the U.N. regular budget and roughly 26% of the peacekeeping budget. In total funding across mandatory dues and voluntary agency contributions, the U.S. typically provides $13 billion to $14 billion yearly.

Let’s look at four countries who are members of the U.N.: China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. Three countries who are run by absolute dictators, and the fourth who calls for the total destruction of Israel from the earth.

By all accounts these nations are not friends of the USA. So why would we want to be a member of a group that would have these countries as members ?

Why spend our tax dollars on any organization that historically has been against the USA ?

Think about Israel and the Jewish people. Without the Jewish people, there would not be a Bible, hence no Christianity. Do you think it is a coincidence that all 4 countries are against freedom of religion ? 

Time to leave the United Nations and stop pretending they are our friends.
