THIS IS DISGRACEFUL – AT 9:39 A.M. ET: The line put out by much of the media is that the Obama administration is really moderate, not leftist, and that charges to the contrary are just smears.
Well, watch what they do, not what they say. And before you watch this, take a tranquilizer:
CNSNews.com) – The United States’ human rights record will be back in the spotlight at the U.N. Human Rights Council next week, when the U.S. delegation provides its response to more than 200 recommendations made by other governments, ranging from liberal democracies to the repressive regimes ruling Libya, Iran, Cuba, North Korea and China.
The idea that we are even dignifying this process is pathetic. President Bush would have nothing to do with the Human Rights Council.
The recommendations cover a broad range of issues, from combating “Islamophobia” to scrapping Arizona’s controversial immigration law, Senate Bill 1070.
Yes, the country is rushing to imprison Muslims. Why, haven't you seen the prison vans passing your home?
March 18 marks the final step in the process known as the United States’ first universal periodic review (UPR), an examination supervised by the Human Rights Council that every U.N. member state is expected to undergo every four years.
In a three-hour “interactive dialogue” last November, the U.S. delegation explained its human rights policies and heard comments and criticisms from scores of other country delegations.
Since then, the U.S. has considered a total of 228 recommendations made by various governments, and next Friday it will present the HRC with its response, indicating which recommendations it accepts and will act on, and which ones it rejects.
The council will then vote to adopt the UPR outcome report.
We will be judged by some of the biggest thugs in the world. But to the American left, they aren't thugs, but "alternative governments" or "anti-imperialist" leaders.
Barack Obama has weakened this country, and his administration's participation in this humiliating farce is a perfeft example.
