WERE YOU AWARE OF THIS? – AT 8:31 A.M. ET:  The Obama administration has, to its disgrace, actually reported "human rights" problems in the United States to the UN Human Rights Council, a body presided over by thugs.  It is a new low for an administration presided over bya man who sees himself, not as an American, but as a citizen of the world.  One governor is striking back:

PHOENIX – Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer demanded Friday that a reference to the state's controversial immigration law be removed from a State Department report to the United Nations' human rights commissioner.

The U.S. included its legal challenge to the law on a list of ways the federal government is protecting human rights.

In a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Brewer says it is "downright offensive" that a state law would be included in the report, which was drafted as part of a UN review of human rights in all member nations every four years.

"The idea of our own American government submitting the duly enacted laws of a state of the United States to 'review' by the United Nations is internationalism run amok and unconstitutional," Brewer wrote.

Arizona's law generally requires police officer enforcing other laws to investigate the immigration status of people they suspect are illegal immigrants.

COMMENT:  Can you imagine that this is the country we're now living in?  We report to a group of dictators?  Have you seen a protest in the mainstream media? 

Yet, you may be certain that Gov. Brewer, like Sarah Palin, will be portrayed as a fool, an airhead, an extremist, by the gatekeepers of news.  But Gov. Brewer is absolutely correct.
