Calls Grow for U.S. to Leave U.N.

As the United Nations Millennium Summit continues in New York, conservatives in
Washington are increasing their calls for the U.S. to withdraw from the left-
wing world body.
Thursday, in a press conference on Capitol Hill, supporters of H.R. 1146, the
American Sovereignty Restoration Act, presented more than 300,000 signed
petitions in favor of the measure, which calls for the U.S. to cut its ties to
the U.N.
"We are putting a bright spotlight on those in Congress who don't support
national sovereignty. And we've brought more than 300,000 signed petitions to
show Congress that the American people want their sovereignty protected," said
Tom DeWeese, president of American Policy Center,
http://www.americanpolicy.org/
which organized the drive.
According to DeWeese, recent proposals to eliminate permanent veto power in the
Security Council, the creation of international rapid response forces, and the
plan to create an International Criminal Court point to a U.N. that is
increasingly taking on the role of a world government.
"Obviously its focus is changing from its original purpose to be a place where
nations can come together to discuss their differences," said DeWeese. "Clearly
the United Nations is on a different track."
DeWeese's comments were echoed by Dr. Herb Titus, an attorney who wrote the
legislation.
"What we've seen in New York is the unanimous mandate by world leaders and
heads of state to go ahead and implement an agenda for global governance," said
Titus.
Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, was also on hand to promote a recently introduced bill
he has co-sponsored that would prohibit U.S. soldiers from serving under U.N.
command or wearing U.N. insignias or uniforms.
"U.S. soldiers sign up to defend the interests of the United States," said
Paul. "They should not be required to take orders from any nation or body
except duly appointed representatives of the American people."

The libertarian therefore considers one of his prime educational
tasks is to spread the demystification and desanctification of the
State among its hapless subjects. His task is to demonstrate
repeatedly and in depth that not only the emperor but even the
"democratic" State has no clothes; that all governments subsist
by exploitive rule over the public; and that such rule is the reverse
of objective necessity. He strives to show that the existence of
taxation and the State necessarily sets up a class division between
the exploiting rulers and the exploited ruled. He seeks to show that
the task of the court intellectuals who have always supported the State
has ever been to weave mystification in order to induce the public to
accept State rule and that these intellectuals obtain, in return, a
share in the power and pelf extracted by the rulers from their deluded
subjects.
