US Walks Away from UN 'Human Rights' Council

It’s about time; the United States is finally walking away from the corrupt, hateful group of dictators’ toadies calling itself the UN Human Rights Council.

GENEVA, June 6 (Reuters) - The United States has quietly informed Western allies of its intention to walk away from the U.N. Human Rights Council, diplomatic sources said on Friday.

The U.S. delegation has observer status, with the right to speak, in the 47-member state forum, which meets in Geneva, and has never stood for election to the Council since it was set up two years ago.

Diplomatic sources and rights activists said that U.S. officials had informed the European Union on Friday morning of its intention to halt its involvement in the Council.

“They said they were going to disengage totally,” said one representative of a rights watchdog group.

In a Council debate on Friday on the situation in Myanmar, the United States failed to take the floor on a topic on which until now it has always been vocal, a possible sign that it had little further interest in the body. The Council replaced the widely discredited U.N. Commission on Human Rights.

But it is seen by critics as having fallen under control of a bloc of Islamic and African countries, which have a majority when backed by their frequent allies Russia, China and Cuba.

To answer your question - the Islamic bloc of 57 nations combined with another bloc of 3rd World socialist leaning countries that also vote in a bloc make it relatively impossible for any legitimate work to get passed through the General Assembly unless they want it to.

If it is in the US interests, the interests of the West, or will protect Israel, then it will not pass. Anything that will damage the West, US, Israel, or redistribute wealth, will get passed.

The UN is surpassing the League of Nations as a failure.

Thank you, Pres. Bush.

Perhaps we can pick up some momentum and walk away from the entire UN...

What is it about John Bolton that drives Liberals such as freevillage crazy?

John Bolton is a real man, taken from the same mold that created John Wayne. Liberals can’t stand manly men.

John Bolton “gets it”.
John Bolton understands the Communist problem.
That is why the Communists in Congress fought his nomination.

Ever wonder why you see “Che” shirts?
“Che” was a Communist.
Anyone wearing a “Che” shirt is a Communist.

The Deification of the Democrats: Obama is a 'Lightworker'

Fri, Jun 6, 2008 at 10:28:11 am PST

By now, most of the blogosphere knows that Mark Morford is one of the most venomous, hateful moonbats currently writing for a major US newspaper. But today he’s got a column you’re not going to believe, about the transcendent being we unenlightened ones know simply as “Barack Obama:” Is Obama an enlightened being? / Spiritual wise ones say: This sure ain’t no ordinary politician. You buying it?
