THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS IRONY. NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL READERS!

There was no UN in 1789. Case closed.

Oh, you want more. Well, the U.S. pays dues and lets the UN building squat on prime real estate on the island of Manhattan. In spite of that, we can't make its member nations do whatever we want whenever we want it. So what's the point? What are we paying for anyway?

Many, maybe most, of those nations are repressive dictatorships. It sullies the purity of America to mingle with their smarmy, hypocritical representatives.

The UN allows dangerous bad guys to address the General Assembly each year. Their pals in the audience applaud. Why should we give them that forum on our shores?

The Russians and the Chinese on the Security Council can veto anything   they like, thwarting things that *we* like. Why put up with that?

The UN is a theoretical step toward World Government. So it's a threat to our liberty.

A lot of UN ambassadors are crooks with diplomatic immunity. We don't want them here. Immunity means they can commit any crime they want and we can't punish them.

The UN also spends zillions around the world on educational programs that favor liberal and progressive positions. Why support that?

Everybody has one vote, so the few good nations are usually outvoted by the bad ones. Teeny-weeny Fiji has as many votes as we do.

The UN accomplishes nothing. Blah blah blah blah blah blah, most of which is equivocation and lies. Their peacekeeping force is a joke. When something big hits the fan, the U.S. has to take charge anyway while the UN blathers on. Buncha wusses. And bastards too, when you get down to it.

Real nations don't need the UN. We can talk anywhere, if we want to, and we settle things our own way.

(Maybe I've left something out, but that's the gist of it.)
