UN Human rights council bashes US
2010-11-05
The United Nations Human Rights Council, a conclave of 47 nations that includes such notorious human rights violators as China, Cuba, Libya and Saudi Arabia, met in Geneva on Friday, to question the United States about its human rights failings.

It heard, among other things, that the U.S. discriminates against Muslims, that its police are barbaric and that it has been holding political prisoners behind bars for years.

Russia urged the U.S. to abolish the death penalty. Cuba and Iran called on Washington to close Guantanamo prison and investigate alleged torture by its troops abroad. Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, told the U.S. it must better promote religious tolerance. Mexico complained that racial profiling had become a common practice in some U.S. states.
Rest at link if you want to read the tyrant filled spew of hate against the US. US out of the UN and the UN out of the US!

#6  You have got to be frigging kidding me.

Indonesia - where over 200-odd Christian churches have been razed in the name of Islam - where 4 Christian girls were made into Human Sacrifices to Allah. Who gave the person behind the Bali Bombing not even a wrist-slap sentence. Talks about 'religious intolerable'.

Mexico who's racist consitution and their own illegal alien laws are far worse than anything we can come up with.

Russia and China who have a long, long, history of executing (as in Death Penalty) anyone who disagrees with the government.

And Obama, who swore an oath to defend the United States is going along with them.

#5  I have a much better idea. How about we place an incentive for bounty hunters to find the hidden, untaxed, unregulated money of offshore financial speculators...our global billionaire friend included? Split the tax proceeds 50/50 with the country that should have earned the tax proceeds...the other 50% can go directly to fund aid projects in developing countries. Win/win all around. Something good could actually come from Soros' money instead of him trying to control us.

#4  Be afraid...be very, very afraid. Who elected Soros to anything?

At least $65 billion might be raised by taxing foreign-exchange transactions and auctioning pollution permits, a United Nations panel said today in a report recommending ways to finance aid for fighting global warming.

The panel, which includes billionaire investor George Soros and Larry Summers, director of President Barack ObamaÂ’s National Economic Council, said selling carbon-emissions permits would generate $38 billion and a financial transactions tax an additional $27 billion, according to the report released today.

#3  I don't have to hit the link, I read the fed department releases.

I think I will create a job, form and NGO and come up with a snappy justification for the acronym UNSCREWUS.

#2  I really, truly want to know who sold us out to the UN.

Oh...never mind:

But what really is under review is the gamble by the Obama administration to join the council in the first place, rather than shun it in disdain, as the Bush administration did...

And....

The same official, however, declared that the “most important” part of the process is “the dialogue with our own citizens.”

That was a reference to the important—and often harshly critical—role being played in the U.S. Universal Periodical Review by American human rights interest groups, or Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), also known in U.N. parlance as “stakeholders.”

The Obama administration has gone to elaborate lengths to consult with such groups in advance of the Geneva meeting. The State Department, has led delegations from a variety of government departments (including Labor, Homeland Security, Education and Justice) to consult with such groups in Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, Harlem, and Albuquerque, according to an official at State.

God help us.
