Arizona vs. the U.N. Human Rights Police

· Wednesday, September 1, 2010

An indignant President Obama complained last week, "I can't spend all of my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead." Fine. How about plastering a copy of his presidential oath of office there instead? The kowtowing commander-in-chief is in dire need of a daily reminder that his job is to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" -- not international law or global diktats.

Case in point: Last week, Obama's State Department handed in America's first-ever report to the United Nations Commissioner for Human Rights in conjunction with something called the "Universal Periodic Review." In short, the 29-page document is a self-aggrandizing report card touting the administration's far-left domestic and foreign policy initiatives for the world's approval. The report boasts of racial- and gender-bean-counting in the executive branch; Justice Department outreach to Muslim grievance groups opposed to post-9/11 security measures; teachers' union payoffs in the federal stimulus law; continuing commitment to closing the Gitmo detention facility for enemy combatants; and the illusory lifesaving effects of Obamacare on minorities through "expanding community health centers" (which have yet to be built, but not that it matters in our Nobel Peace Prize-winning president's age of post-achievement).

The report also includes a section on "values and immigration," which essentially singles out Arizona's immigration enforcement law as a human rights deficiency "that is being addressed in a court action."

In response, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer rightly blasted Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration for succumbing to "internationalism run amok." Brewer pointed out in a letter to Clinton, "Human rights as guaranteed by the United States and Arizona Constitutions are expressly protected in S.B. 1070 and defended vigorously by my Administration. In fact, the Department of Justice has correctly not included these so-called 'human rights' issues in the current litigation against the State of Arizona." Somehow, that inconvenient detail escaped the Foggy Bottom bureaucrats' notice.

No one should be surprised, of course, that the Department of Blame America First is prostrating itself before the likes of repressive U.N. Human Rights Council members Libya, Cuba, Saudi Arabia and China. No one should be surprised that Obama's globalist panderers couldn't simply keep their mouths shut and refrain from trashing Americans with whom they disagree. In May, you'll recall, Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Michael Posner preemptively trashed our country's human rights record to Chinese government officials and humiliated Arizonans -- and all Americans -- who support states' rights to protect their borders and enhance their security through strict immigration enforcement. An obsequious Posner called S.B. 1070 "a troubling trend in our society" in his bow-and-scrape conversations with the ChiComs.

The inclusion of Arizona in a politically correct catalogue of human rights and wrongs is more than "downright offensive," as Brewer put it. It's a national travesty. In the very same Obama administration document, the State Department praises the administration for its "robust protections for freedom of expression." The report notes sanctimoniously: "As a general matter, the government does not punish or penalize those who peacefully express their views in the public sphere, even when those views are critical of the government. Indeed, dissent is a valuable and valued part of our politics."

Yeah? Tell that to the Democratic members of Congress leading the punitive economic boycott and political demonization of Arizona. Or to Attorney General Eric Holder, who rushed to attack S.B. 1070 before he had even read it. Fresh off this U.N. mess, Holder's Social Justice Department has launched yet another vendetta against Arizona. On Monday, DOJ filed suit against Phoenix-area community colleges because they imposed strict citizenship screening of potential employees.

As Obama throws America under the bus for the cause of open borders, the shady U.N. human rights police must be laughing their jackboots off.

Thanks, Michelle. This traitorous usurper in the white house will do everything possible to avoid implementing his oath of office and is now turning Americans over to the likes of the UN! He swore an oath before God when he took office. I for one am praying he gets rapidly taken into full account before he destroys our national sovereignty and turns us over to Soros' and the CFR's plan for a one-world government.

Obama’s ratting out Arizona to the UN Human Rights Council is vile. Cabinet members involved must be fired – Clinton, Holder and Napolitano. If not, impeachment should begin in January 2011.

This is what it tastes like to have an anti-American president sitting in our White House. With every day that goes by, I can't help but become more and more disgusted with this inept, clueless, in-over-his-head, incompetent, anti-American that we actually gave the reigns of power to. I'd almost be willing to give up two years of my life right now to make it end and get on with someone who actually works FOR us.

One question enters my mind, of late. The USA has bailed out many countries when their leaders became despots(i.e. Germany, Japan, Iraq,) just to name a few. What country is going to help our country when it happens here?

Did the report on human rights violations include the fact that the attorney general has decided to permit armed goons in paramilitary outfits to intimidate voters on election day?

This is yet one more step in this traitorous president's march toward getting America to submit to the United Nations as the ultimate law of the land. That will guarantee anarchy.

We need to get over it.Take whatever steps we can to counter his anti-american policies,and get rid of him in 2012.

Tom,

I'd like to re-phrase your last sentence/question to;

What countries are going to help themselves to our country when it happens?

But fear not as we have an armed citizenry, but we must be vigil to alert the masses when the blue helmets deploy.

Giving aid and comfort to the enemy. I was taught that this is the legal definition of treason. The enemy is anyone who intentionally breaches the sovereignty of our borders. There are ways to come in legally. I have performed immigration work for a woman from South Africa. She is here permanently, and legally. It took about two years, but it is doable. Why is this process not sufficient for Obama/illegal Mexicans? By the way, this immigrant from South Africa has not committed any crimes in the past few years, and is not on any public dole. I believe that Arizona should file multiple and myriad lawsuits against the president (Not the U.S.) and go on a serious offensive. As a former litigator, I found a good offense to be a good defense. Gross negligence at best, and intentional violation of the sovereignty of Arizona are some likely charges against Obama and Holder.

I agree, we need to start Impeachment as soon as possible, before the blue helmets come to help him stay in power. I don't think he ever plans to leave office, just like Chauvez. He is guilty of Treason and that should not be hard to prove. Maybe the fact that he has used 29 social security numbers will finally be addressed.

There is a good website for anyone who wants to be kept up to date on what is happening. It is called www.alarmandmuster.com .

I am just about sick to death of finding yet another thing to be outraged about. Just when I think that this administration simply cannot do one more thing that violates our Constitution, I find, sadly, that they indeed have.

I am terrified that our nation will not survive another two years of Obama's presidency. When Congress is lead by the Republicans, I demand that they immediately invoke Articles of Impeachment against him. All in favor, say Aye!!!

Oh, and by the way, this report to the UN Human Rights Commission was tendered by Hilary Clinton, not Barack Obama. Guess who will be the next Democrat to campaign for the presidency. She has gone along with every half-witted idea Obama and Company have come up with. All you Democrats need to remember this in 2012. She's just as corrupt as he is. Remember Whitewater? Remember Travelgate? Just another Lib in a skirt.

As a true blue patriot, a grown military 'brat'and proud American~~ I would like to ask where the heck the officials that feel as we do are? Are they mice or men and women that love this nation? or are they all so greedy and power hungry that there is not a true patriot among them? Where the heck are the ones that can get us all pulled together to stop this insanity....and how can the other Americans that seeming have lost their minds back such treason, unpatriotic, un-American ways that are happening now? What the heck has happened to the greatest nation in the world? We holler, we talk, we vote, we are angry, we go to rallys, we print signs and we rant...but where in the heck is the power of the people...they will rig the votes, and lie and push us down any way they can to stop our overtake of the radical nut cases that are running things....how can they sleep at night? It makes me sick that there is nothing we can do short of taking to the streets en-mass and phyically taking back our country and that is just what the nuts want so they can feel justified...they could not actually think rationally if they had to and yet, we have so many immenently dangerous potential happenings breathing down our necks...oh yeah that's right: they will cry the loudest when something horrible happens and say they did so much when they, the officials, they the government-- are as guilty as any at not taking care of busiensss, the nation or anything for that matter but their own agendas....leaving us, the patriots, to mop up and fight like hell to prevent the real evil from their take over.....as it has always been!!! When is this antion full of people going to get some spirit back? some patriotism, some pride in our nation and who we are? when it is too late and we have to fight in the streets and watch bombs fly overhead??? This is not a joke people...or a dress rehersal: THIS IS AMERICA AND WE ARE DROWNING IN INSANITY, ILBERALISM, POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, IMMORAL NONSENSE, INSECURITY OF OUR BORDERS AND ALL WE HOLD DEAR AND FLATLY IGNORING OUR CHRISTIAN HERITAGE....SHAME ON THOSE THAT HAVE ADDED TO THE TEARING APART OF AMERICA...I DARE YOU TO CRY 'HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING'?, WHEN IT ALL HITS THE FAN~~ HEAVEN HELP YOU IF YOU GET IN THE WAY BECAUSE ONE OF THE PATRIOTS WILL SURELY KNOCK YOU OUT FOR YOUR STUPIDITY!!

The only thing that can save us now is God. Our founding fathers knew that unless we were guided by a moral compass, we could not endure. Most of our founding documents directly quoted the Bible and some of the great preachers from the

"Great Awakening" in the 17th and 18th centuries It's time to get prayer and the Bible back into the curriculum in our schools. It's time to abolish political correctness and reintroduce morals and constitutional law. They can interpret the Constitution in the most asinine ways, but it's written in plain English.

President Obama once said that the Constitution was comprised of negative rights (meaning for the Government.) Wrong!!! The Government has no rights. It only has a DUTY to uphold the Constitution which is a list of rights of THE PEOPLE. He should re-read the preamble which begins WE THE PEOPLE not we the government.

Hey Sheriff Joe, make the Federal Government and the Narco/bankster State of Mexico produce the Treasonous secret trade agreements signed by Bush and Fox and Obama and Calderon.

NAFTA was illegally planned and implemented and was not ratified by Congress and it can not “legally” supersede our Constitution.

The U.S Justice department is part of the Traitor criminal organization of World Banksters and Big Oil who have overthrown, by corruption, our American Independence, Constitution and Freedom.

Not one Bankster was brought to Justice for the world’s greatest mortgage fraud (15 trillion), yet the Justice Dept. go after Arizona for enforcing a Federal law that the Feds refuse to enforce.

The illegal and Fascist Federal government wants to implement the secret trade agreement and open the borders to the North American Union. The political appointed Fascist Justice Department is there to deliver for them and crush any state that gets in their way.

The Fascist Federal Government and the Justice Dept is the back door criminals who refuse to honor our American Constitution which they have overthrown; they are the Treason criminals to our Democracy who someday will be brought to real Justice.

Ask yourself why the Narco/bankster state of Mexico has kept the Mexican people down to starvation wages and live in third world poverty when their country is so rich. Cheap slave labor is why.

The Feds is prosecuting and harassing Arizona because Arizona wants to enforce the law that employers verify legal immigration before hiring an employee. The Feds refuse to enforce the laws that are on the books or even collect income tax or employer tax from the employers or the illegal workers. Federal Illegal Immigrants are a freebee for multinational corporations at states expense.

Racial Profiling is a Joke. If a white man stole my car, I wouldn’t be looking for a Mexican or a Negro! Get real!

I stand with the Sheriffs and the State of Arizona to fight for our Constitutional Democracy, Independence and Freedom.

It is still legal in Arizona to buy a gun and to join a state militia.

It is a citizen’s responsibility to defend our Constitution that embodies our Freedom, Independence and Democracy.
