  Security Pending Moderator Approval

  The UN is a farce. The US should withdraw from the UN and start a new organization that promotes Democracy and Freedoms. The UN has turned into a power grabbing do nothing Bureaucracy that believes it has the right to impose it's will on free people while giving aid and comfort to totalitarian regimes, while individuals in the UN profit from behind the scene bribes.

  Resolutions passed by the UN are worth less than the paper they are printed on. How many times must they say "We really, really, really are serious this time" before a dictator complies? It is a joke. They condemn Darfur yet do nothing. They pass resolution after resolution, yet never enforce the resolutions. They place sponsors of terror on the Human Rights Commission.

  The US needs to abandon the UN since the UN has lost their way. Kick UN out of NY and let them set up HQ in Cuba, Syria, North Korea, or Zimbabwe.

  Why must the moderate approve some posts? I submitted a post about the need for the US to abandon the UN, but it requires review by a moderator? None of my other posts required this. What happened to free speech in the US?

  Each day we here how Obama "saved or created" jobs. How does someone quantify "Jobs Saved?" Yet the media never questions "Jobs Saved". How many of the "Jobs Created" are Government jobs? Government jobs should be excluded from the numbers.

  Look how the Government runs Medicare/Medicaid, Military Healthcare, and VA Healthcare. Is that what you want for all? Inefficiencies, fraudulent claims, overstated claims, abuse. How does that help the average person? All it does is raise the costs while lowering standards. Ask a Veteran how happy they are with their quality of care.

  When was the last time a Government entity came up with a medical cure to anything? Keep healthcare privatized.

  Taxes will increase to pay for more bureaucracy that will solve nothing. Wait lists will increase. A government bureaucrat will determine whether or not you life is important enough to save or treat.

  More government and less freedoms are never the answer!

  Institute term limits for all members of Congress, either 4 or 5 Max 4 yr terms. Also institute a vesting policy where they must serve 2 full terms to be eligible for retirement pay.

  Currently Congress people (politically correct bs) care more about their power than what is best for the people of the United States. If we limit the time they can spend in office, maybe they will focus on us, the people, instead of building their power base. Members of both parties become corrupt the longer they serve.

  Since the US Taxpayers own 60% of GM, as a stakeholder, as a partial repayment for my investment, I propose each American taxpayers (who actually pays income taxes) receives a free GM product of their choice. I expect my Cadillac by the end of the month.

  Abolish the IRS, who penalize people when they succeed by confiscating their hard earned money. If a tax is required, use the Fair Tax plan that is based on consumption, not on earnings. Why should my hard work be penalized? Why should the Government create barriers to my desire to succeed? Why must my hard work be used to support those who choose not to?

  Also, Barry, release your long form Birth Certificate. All of the requests would then go away when it is discovered you are not a Naturalized US Citizen and ineligible to be PoTUS.
