Smart diplomacy in the asylum run by lunatics
For the first time in the history of our country, we’re being humiliated by the lunatics who run the asylum at the United Nation’s Human Rights Counsel. According to Fox News;
[The Counsel] 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 it must better promote religious tolerance. Mexico complained that racial profiling had become a common practice in some U.S. states.
That’s like Bonnie and Clyde complaining that the police shoot armed bank robbers. I’m really glad….I mean REALLY GLAD…that this administration is working so hard to gain the respect of the world.
If you’re interested in the membership of the 47 nations who make up the Counsel, here’s a link.

“Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, told it must better promote religious tolerance.”
Yeah, like they are so tolerant of Christianity?
“Cuba and Iran called on Washington to close Guantanamo prison and investigate alleged torture by its troops abroad.”
Ok, let us investigate torture in Cuban and Iranian prisons, mmmmmkay?
These people are so delusional that little Susie Benjamin looks somewhat sane in comparison.
I read the article this morning as a part of my daily current events feeding. I was so pissed off by the end of it I had to hit the head and get a cup of coffee before returning to my desk.
What a sickening load of crap. It’s no wonder the President of the United States is now ranked as the 2nd most powerful person in the world by Forbes magazine.
Mr. Boehner, Mr. McConnell? I know of a place where you can begin getting some of our money back. Defund. This. POS. Organization. Now!!!!
If the UN is “united” in anything, it is in its hatred of the US and its concerted attempts to destroy us. I agree with UpNorth.
While it would be a bonus to get out of the UN, we must look at the bigger picture and that we have a permanent Veto in the Security Council and if we leave, we will not have a voice at all and it would be an “Us against them” scenario which would not be to our benefit.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
*SIGH*
I know you’re right, Old Trooper; but the fact is, it seems like we’re trying to bed down in a nest of snakes with those folks, most of the time.
I fart in your (UN) general direction.
“…it has been holding political prisoners behind bars for years.”
Here in the USA we call them convicted politicians.
“Russia urged the U.S. to abolish the death penalty.”
We will if you will.
