This is pretty unbelievable. You can't make this kind of stuff up.
Unfortunately we can't do anything about it at least till November.

Obama is not up for election this November. Unless you meant November, 2012.

No I meant this November.
This November we'll have a good chance to bring his radical agenda to a stop by electing enough people who can make it happen.

Yep. And I'm eagerly awaiting what France, Japan & Cameroon (yes, Cameroon) will tell us to do.

Can we all agree that BO is a complete and utter tool yet?

Did you actually READ the report. It is very patriotic, tells the world how we support freedoms, etc. Its actually the opposite of what you think it is.

Example: People should be free and should have a say in how they are governed. Governments have an obligation not to restrict fundamental freedoms unjustifiably, and governments need to create the laws and institutions that secure those freedoms.

The desire to live freely under a government that would respect and protect human rights was the fundamental motivation of our country’s Founders—human rights have not only been part of the United States since the beginning, they were the reason our nation was created. From its adoption in 1789, the U.S. Constitution has been the central legal instrument of government and the supreme law of the land. The Constitution establishes the structure of government in the United States, starting with the fundamental principle that the will of the people is the basis of the legitimacy of government. The Constitution’s first ten amendments, adopted in 1791 and known as the Bill of Rights, along with the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments, adopted in the wake of the Civil War, protect many rights that, in the twentieth century, became recognized and protected under international human rights law. The principles enshrined in the Constitution and the system of government that it prescribes—including the checks and balances between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, as well as the reservation of significant authority and autonomy for the fifty states joined together in a federal system—have been the basic building blocks of a government of the people, by the people, and for the people throughout U.S. history.


MY GOD that is soooo horrible to write this down and give it to the UN. They MUST be taking over. This has nothing to do with the UN telling us what to do, the US just wrote a huge propaganda document. The tea party probably wrote it.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? Don't you even read what was submitted BEFORE you actually make an opinion.

Sorry ... ah ... no ...

The only reason Arizona was even brought up in that report was the hopes that the international community would drum up some much needed support and get AZ to turn tail - since public opinion here actually AGREES with Arizonas laws.

How many times & governments & councils is this inexperienced moron going to bow down to? Get some balls Barry ... the bike was a dead giveaway that they're tucked away in Michelle's purse somewhere.

You honestly believe that?

Nations and people have already made their minds up on that issue. No piece of 22 page government propaganda is going to change anyone's mind.


Try again.

Yeah, I do.

It's pretty obvious what the intent was ... and quite consistant with BO's MO.
