UN Voting Record - Seeing Red

OHH MY GAWD... I THINK MOST FOREIGN AID IS A POOR RETURN ON OUR INVESTMENTS, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS... AND THESE AREN'T ALL OF THE NATIONS THAT WE HELP... LIKE THE LATE SENATOR EVERRET DIRKSEN ONCE SAID,
"A BILLION HERE... A BILLION THERE... PRETTY SOON IT BEGINS TO ADD UP!!!

"SEEING RED!!" How they vote in the United Nations:
Below are the actual voting records of various Arabic/Islamic States ['CEPT INJUH] which are recorded in both the US State Department and United Nations Records:
Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time.
Qatar votes against the United States 67% of the time.
Morocco votes against the United States 70% of the time.
United Arab Emirates votes against the U. S. 70% of the time.
Jordan votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Tunisia votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Saudi Arabia votes against the United States 73% of the time.
Yemen votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Algeria votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Oman votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Sudan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
Pakistan votes against the United States 75% of the time.

Libya votes against the United States 76% of the time.
Egypt votes against the United States 79% of the time.
Lebanon votes against the United States 80% of the time.
India votes against the United States 81% of the time.
Syria votes against the United States 84% of the time.
Mauritania votes against the United States 87% of the time.




Now check U. S. ("Great Satan") Foreign Aid to those that hate us:
Egypt, after voting 79% of the time against the United States, still receives $2 billion annually in US F Aid.
Jordan votes 71% against the United States and receives $192,814,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.
Pakistan votes 75% against the United States, receives $6,721,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.
India votes 81% against the United States, receives $143,699,000 annually.
Perhaps it is time... high time some would say, to get out of the UN and give the tax savings back to the American workers who are having to skimp and sacrifice to pay high taxes (and for gasoline).

No arguments here. There are very few nations I personally would send regular aid to were I president; I can count them on one hand with a couple fingers left over, actually.

As for the U.N., it's every bit the ineffectual failure the League of Nations turned out to be, but for some reason we continue to participate in that corrupt farce.

Many of the nations listed are considered as having friendly relations with us ...... Perhaps OEFM is on to something ??

In addition to corrupt and ineffectual .... how about incompetent, beauracratic, self serving.

Is it within the US's power to say no more ... get the "f" out? I doubt this will happen with Obama or Clinton in the WH but if McCain got on one of his famous tirad's perhaps ....?

The US has needed to get out of the UN for quite some time now. I think if the numbnuts in DC really considered this information, it would be done.
