Opus 2025-449: JBS Exonerated

Do you remember when the phrase, “Get us out of the United Nations” was the motto of the John Birch Society?  Do you remember the John Birch Society?  JBS is a group of people who were labeled as fanatics and radicals.  To this day, I’m not sure if they were conservative or liberal, but they certainly weren’t considered mainstream.  What little I heard of their ideas sounded OK to me, but they couldn’t get any press that wasn’t totally biased.

We’re now hearing this call from more and more places.  I would join my voice if there was a place to actually have someone listen.  I don’t think the United Nations ever served much of a purpose.  It was a nice dream.  So was the League of Nations after World War I.  For that matter, so was the Mickey Mouse Club.  The problem is that no organization without a moral foundation based on eternal truth will ever be able to make a contribution.  The United Nations would look back to the Rights of Man of the French Revolution more than the Declaration of Independence of the American revolution.  They become a tremendous negative force in the world.

Why do we keep funding them?  Why do we allow them to have prime real estate in New York?  Why do we act like they have anything serious to contribute.  When you have committees that are supposed to deal with problems of the world and place countries on it who are the source of those problems, it kind of makes you laughing stock.

So if we’re taking a vote, and the resolution is, “We should pull out of the UN”, I would vote yes.
