Obama, UN Muslims Join to Kill Free Speech

Muslim nations are agitating at the UN to silence criticism of their 7th century, obscurantist, global freak show

They're using the UN to push a kind of international thought crime speech code, and the Obama Administration is helping, according to Stuart Taylor at National Journal:

I'm talking about a little-publicized October 2 resolution in which Clinton's own State Department joined Islamic nations in adopting language all-too-friendly to censoring speech that some religions and races find offensive.

The ambiguously worded United Nations Human Rights Council resolution could plausibly be read as encouraging or even obliging the U.S. to make it a crime to engage in hate speech, or, perhaps, in mere "negative racial and religious stereotyping." This despite decades of First Amendment case law protecting such speech.

This is all part of the Muslim agenda to stifle all criticism of their religion and its adherents, to include calling an Islamic terrorist an Islamic terrorist. 

But the real problem is a provision, which the U.S. championed jointly with Egypt, exuding hostility to free expression.

That provision [...] condemns, in this context, any advocacy of national, racial, or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility, or violence, and urges States to take effective measures, consistent with their obligations under international human-rights law, to address and combat such incidents" (emphasis added).

Taylor is a moderate man not prone to wild alarums.  Neither is the scholarly Eugene Volokh, but he cautiously backs Taylor in this post at The Volokh Conspiracy.

I’m worried that it might be a step backward for our own constitutional rights, because of what seems to be the U.S. endorsement of the suppression of “any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence” and possibly of “negative stereotyping of religions and racial groups.”

Our UN diplomats should be nowhere near this issue; it violates our very basic principles of free speech.  Both articles are short and quite informative.  I recommend you read them both, and then write to your elected officials.

UN Gun Grabbers Update

Good News From the NRA

Like all UN efforts, the gun grabber initiative is sputtering, but we must stay vigilant.  Here's an excerpt from the NRA web site:

The UN and International Treaties:  Over the last few weeks, we have received many inquiries regarding the UN and the impact of international treaties on our Second Amendment freedom.

The current issue under discussion, the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), is in the early stages of the negotiation process.  There is no actual draft text at this time.  Work on the ATT is scheduled to continue by a consensus process between now and 2012.  It should be noted that any treaty must be approved by two thirds of the U.S. Senate for ratification.

Finally, if you own a weapon and do not belong to the NRA or GOA, you need to have your head examined.  These good organizations fight for your God-given right to keep and bear arms. 

UN Protests "Summary Execution" Death by Drone

Philip Alston, UN Lord High Poobah and Ratpoopoour of Special Meddling, has demaaanded that the US stop killing terrorists and those who harbor them.

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) – US drone strikes against suspected terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan could be breaking international laws against summary executions, the UN's top investigator of such crimes said as he whined and pissed down his leg while trying to strike an arrogant, sanctimonious pose.

Stop!  Or we'll say stop again! 
He's presenting the matter to the assembled murderers, slave-holders, tyrants and snot-nosed pricks at the UN General Assembly:

"The onus is really on the United States government to reveal more about the ways in which it makes sure that arbitrary extrajudicial executions aren't in fact being carried out through the use of these weapons," he added, removing his thumb from his rectum.

"the really problematic bottom line that the CIA is running a program that is killing significant numbers of people and there is absolutely no accountability in terms of the relevant international laws," Alston said, placing his thumb in his mouth.

No, the onus is on you to STFU, jackass! 
Go back to skimming money off of food aid programs and abusing third-world women and little boys!  The International House of Scandal and Corruption is depending on you. Go talk to Human Rights Council Members Saudi Arabia and Cuba about international law.  Jackass!

Disclaimer:  I am a humongous fan of Predator drones and the death they visit upon  7th century, goat violating, BO stinking, America haters.  My retirement flag flew on a Predator mission.

Does it Smell Like Hope in Here or Did Somebody Just Cut One?

The president went to the international freakshow at the International House of Corruption and Scandal Wednesday. A day when the Mad Dog of Maghreb Qaddafi foamed at the mouth for over 100 minutes.

So here's a question. Which egotistical potentate stood up at that international improv and did the following?

... casually embraced the consensus view that the US engaged in torture?

... applauded the idea that the USA must strip itself of all nuclear weapons?

... bragged that his country had joined torturers Cuba and Saudi Arabia on the UN "Human Rights" council?

Here are a few direct quotes:

No world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will succeed. No balance of power among nations will hold.

The traditional division between nations of the south and north makes no sense in an interconnected world. Nor do alignments of nations rooted in the cleavages of a long gone Cold War."

"wealthy nations that did so much to damage the environment in the 20th century"

"The United Nations does extraordinary good around the world in feeding the hungry, caring for the sick, and mending places that have been broken."
* He forgot to mention raping victims of war and famine in Africa, and stealing food from the mouths of Iraqis during the Hussein regime. -ed.

Of course, Barack Obama, the Jimmy Carter for the new millennium, said these things.

One wag observed that if some foreign leader had given that speech during the Bush, or even Clinton years, our delegation would have walked out.

And from the depths of his wisdom and vision, he brought forth this daring statement of the obvious:

Today, I put forward four pillars that are fundamental to the future that we want for our children: non-proliferation and disarmament; the promotion of peace and security; the preservation of our planet; and a global economy that advances opportunity for all people.

Propaganda Minister Gibbs later came out and announced Obama was also for blue skies, rainbows, and a pony for each child of the world. He also released this statement by the president:

"To achieve a nuclear free world we must eliminate nuclear weapons. Peace can only happen if we end war. Air, food, and water are essential for human life."

And did you hear what Venezuelan tin pot dictator Hugo Chavez said during his speech?

Mr. Chavez looked around him at the green-marble podium and said, "I don't smell sulfur anymore. It's gone. Now, it's the smell of something else -- it's the smell of hope. You have to have hope in your heart."

Don't you feel better now that this assembled rabble of torturers, perverts, rapists and international scam artists has finally greeted an American president with thunderous applause?

Abuses Persist as UN Human Rights Declaration Turns 60

Some headlines need no further explanation. Regardless, I can't miss an opportunity to heap scorn on the pathetically useless and rotten, corrupt organization known as the United Nations. UNICEF is the only entity that has done any good, and Lord only knows how many children were abused in the process by the sick molesters this International House of Perverts seems to attract like flypaper...

So what's the state of human rights around the world 60 years after this corrupt dictators club promulgated their famous declaration?

Bloody, avaricious tyrants run their personal fiefs in Central Africa. Millions are displaced and tens to hundreds of thousands are raped and killed in lovely garden spots like Sudan, which has the blood of Darfur on its hands. Homosexuals are persecuted and killed in the Middle East, while women there fare only slightly better as long as they know their place. Journalists rot away in the dungeons of China and Cuba...

But what do you expect from an organization with such humanitarian luminaries as China, Cuba, and Saudi Arabia on its Human Rights panel?

Hot air and pompous declarations are meaningless. The only way to stop bad people is with better armed good people. War has never solved anything except for ending slavery, fascism, communism...

Peace Through Superior Firepower!

UN Back to Iraq

More good news from Iraq:

Earth Times reports that Iraq and the United Nations signed "a landmark agreement for reconstruction, development and humanitarian assistance."


We've cleaned out the bad neighborhood, time for the international social workers to come in. This is another positive milestone that shows our military efforts are bearing fruit. The international community getting involved gives it a stake in the country's success, which means the bad-mouthing and sniping from them should slow down.

"The strategy signals a real moment of opportunity in Iraq, with greater stability, a clear will to recover, a growing UN presence and better access to many areas," said David Shearer, the UN's humanitarian coordinator for Iraq.

"We plan to see faster implementation on the ground and stronger policy guidance in Baghdad." Iraq's Minister of Planning and Development Cooperation Ali Babab, said the agreement represents an important step in Iraq's recovery process. "It brings the whole UN organization together in partnership with Iraq and its people, to reduce poverty, foster growth and consolidate democracy in our country," he stated.

I slam the UN all the time, but this is the kind of feel-good stuff they are good at: Rebuilding societies and their institutions, fostering political and social reconciliation, handing out medicine and aid. But they can't do it without our military success. We should be proud, even if they give us no credit.

So we should wholeheartedly support the UN's efforts in Iraq. Just keep them away from the women and children... and any deals involving oil or food.

UN Gun Grabbers

Interesting read over at the Volokh Conspiracy concerning the UN's disdain for our 2nd Amendment. I've got just two quotes from the article here. I love the arrogance of this first one (we don't have to bow down to the UN? We're still free to make our own laws? Oh, Thank you, Mr. UN Poobah!)

“States remain free to have their own national legislation,” said Daniel Prins, chief of the Conventional Arms Branch of the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs.

Here's another goodie. Stalin himself couldn't have said it better:

Citizens should only be allowed to own guns if they are given a government permit, and the permit should only be issued if there is a "good reason" for possession or or "genuine need." In particular, permits to own guns for self defense should not be issued unless the applicant proves that he is in immediate danger.

If you cherish the second amendment while looking upon the UN as the stinking dung heap it is, do yourself a favor and read the entire article, it's short and very well put together. http://volokh.com/posts/1216681864.shtml

UN, Seat of International Corruption, Investigates the US

Doudou Diene (no, I’m not making this up), a United Nations rapporteur (whatever that is) is touring the US to investigate allegations of institutional racism. This from the International House of Scandal that brought us the UN Oil for Food scam that enriched the greedy while starving poor Iraqis. This from the organization that rapes those it purports to be helping. This from the organization that has on its human rights panel such enlightened countries as Cuba (jailed journalists), China (forced sterilization, no democracy), and Saudi Arabia (abuse of women). This is sick.

Excerpts from Nile Gardiner’s excellent National Review article, Theater of the Absurd:

“With the rare exception of Russia, Diene has chosen to ignore real human-rights violations in most dictatorial states, especially in Africa, Asia, or the Middle East. He has barely said a word about Chinese oppression in Tibet for example, and has been largely silent about the genocide in Darfur.”

“It is hard to take the U.N. seriously when its peacekeepers are actively engaged in raping refugees in the Congo and even arming rebel groups, or when it turns a blind eye to the man-made starvation of millions in southern Africa. In the arena of human rights, the United Nations has become an emperor with no clothes, a morally bankrupt institution that wallows in its double standards and appeasement of evil.”

The institutional racism claim is absurd on its face. Look around you. See all the people of color who are rich, successful, and admired? See the people of color in the halls of power, in every profession, and in every strata of our society? What other country has such a diverse population? You sure can’t find this diversity in Europe, the supposed seat of global enlightenment. Perhaps Mr. Doudou could investigate his home continent of Africa. I don’t know what racism is like there, but I do know that his homeland plays a prominent role in modern day slavery.

We still have race problems here, and we still have poverty. But based on their track record, we sure as hell don’t need the UN trying to solve them for us.
