Apparently Barack Obama is not content to make a federal case out of his immigration feud with Arizona; he just made it an international one.

The president's first-ever report on U.S. human rights to the UN Human Rights Council contains a rich vein of offensive material. So far, one aspect has not been reported: our petty president used the situation to bash Arizona's immigration law -- and possibly transfer jurisdiction over the law from Arizona to the UN. Throughout the report, which sounds like an Obama campaign speech, the president discusses "the original flaw" of the U.S. Constitution, America's tolerance for slavery, and his version of our long and despicable history of discriminating against and oppressing minorities, women, homosexuals, and the handicapped. After each complaint, he addresses how he is delivering us from ourselves, patting himself on the back for such initiatives as ending "torture," promoting Affirmative Action, and passing health care legislation.

In his section on "Values and Immigration," he praised the Department of Homeland Security’s efforts to provide better medical care for detainees and increase “Alternatives To Detention” (e.g., letting them go). Then he turned to the one state that has had the temerity to stand in his way of fundamentally transforming the American electorate:

A recent Arizona law, S.B. 1070, has generated significant attention and debate at home and around the world. The issue is being addressed in a court action that argues that the federal government has the authority to set and enforce immigration law. That action is ongoing; parts of the law are currently enjoined.​

On Obama’s command, Attorney General Eric Holder has sued the State of Arizona for passing a law that he criticized without reading, and which merely upholds federal law. (He gave sanctuary cities a pass.) He now threatens an additional lawsuit against Sheriff Joe Arpaio for “racial profiling” when arresting illegal immigrants near the Mexican border.

Obama’s turns his skirmish with Jan Brewer from a states rights dispute into an international human rights cause. It also places Arizona’s law in the hands of the United Nations.

The national report is but the first step of the international government’s review process. On November 5, the United States will be examined by a troika of UN bureaucrats from France, Japan, and Cameroon (an oppressive nation which is a member of the Organization of Islamic Conference). This trio will consider three items: Obama’s self-flagellating report, reports written about America by UN tribunals or international governing bodies, and testimony from NGOs with a pronounced anti-American bias. It will also consider “voluntary pledges and commitments made by the State,” such as suspending an Arizona state law.

Then the French, Japanese, and Cameroon diplomats will draw up a plan of action for the United States to implement.

Nations are re-examined every four years. The Human Rights Council looks for voluntary compliance. However, its website asserts, “The Human Rights Council will decide on the measures it would need to take in case of persistent non-cooperation by a State with the” World Body.

When the Left cannot win at the ballot box (virtually every time), it overrules the people in the courts. Now that Obama is not sure he can prevail in the courts, he has overruled the American people by hauling Arizona and the two-thirds of Americans who support its law before the United Nations.

Obama is one to talk since under his watch we have intensified our Predator Drone strikes in Pakistan. How many innocent brown people have been exterminated by his express approval? Not to defend Arizona's law (which I think just empowers the police-state that much more) but this is fucking ridiculous.
 
Arizona just should become an Independent Republic and tell the U.N. to piss off.
 
arizona should tell the UN, in the words of black bush
"sanction us, sanction us with your army.............oh, thats right, I forgot, youdont HAVE an army!!!!"

No kidding. I'm no fan of the law myself, but Obama's gall in bringing a US state before the UN Human Rights Council is totally unprecedented and outrageous. That alone should nail him and his handlers for treason.
 
it's like you guys didn't even read the article

Oh no! A human rights group is scrutinizing the US!

It's like you don't know what the U.N. council on Human Rights is. :rolleyes: It's not just some "human rights group" like amnesty international. It has the power to recommend sanctions to the U.N. security council. Further I don't know of any case of any leader of any other country going to the U.N. and saying "My country is violating human rights". If Obama really believes that he should resign. (Actually he should resign regardless. I never thought I'd say this, but he's actually becoming worse than Bush. Up until this point I thought they were merely just as bad.)
 
Isn't this treason? Giving "aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States"? It's one thing to be critical of Arizona's law and deal with it internally. It's another thing to take it to an international body.

As if that's relevant, in any way, to the United States. :rolleyes:

So?

If Obama really believes that he should resign. (Actually he should resign regardless. I never thought I'd say this, but he's actually becoming worse than Bush. Up until this point I thought they were merely just as bad.)

Haha, so the that that Obama is suggesting that the US might be violating human rights makes him worse than Bush? What kind of retarded criteria are you using to justify that conclusion?
 
It's intresting lets not forget Bush's international election watchers.
 
As if that's relevant, in any way, to the United States. :rolleyes:

The U.S. is part of the U.N. :rolleyes: And as far as "relevance of the U.N." just ask Iraq. Sure we're strong enough to simply veto and/or ignore any sanctions, but that might not always be the case. We're going down fast.


As head of a sovereign nation the U.S. president is supposed to solve domestic problems domestically and not try to internationalize them. If you don't understand that, you're in the wrong movement.

1) Asking someone for ID is NOT a violation of "human rights" and never has been identified as such by any nation or international body.

2) Obama is engaging is REAL human rights violations (indefinite detention without charge, rendition of terror suspects to countries known to torture, drone bombing of targets that are known to be filled with innocent civilians in order to kill one or two insurgents etc.) For him to try to make the AZ law into a "human rights" issue is downright laughable.

3) As president of the United States (not the U.N.), it is his duty to represent the interests of the United States on the world stage. If there is a real human rights violation as president he should deal with it internally and not try to make it into an international issue. Yes. He is worse than Bush on this. And it takes "retarded logic" not to see that. You never saw Kennedy go to the U.N. to fight segregation.
 
All I get is this: http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/146379.pdf

I want to see this paper on an official web page. Anybody could have written what the OP provided. It should be on the U.S. Department of State web site.

I don't think you get it. What the OP provided was an attack on what Obama did. So of course it's not going to be on the state department's website any more than an ACLU attack on the Bush torture policy would have been on any official Bush administration website. Here's the link for the OP.
