Blogmocracy In Action!
Guest Post by “Delectable”
Nobody should get too hung up over President Obama’s decision, reported by Der Spiegel over the weekend, to cancel plans to attend next month’s 20th anniversary celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Germany’s reunited capital has already served his purposes; why should he serve its?
…
China: In February, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton landed in Beijing with a conciliating message about the country’s human-rights record. “Our pressing on those [human-rights] issues can’t interfere on the global economic crisis, the global climate change crisis and the security crisis,” she said.
In fact, there has been no pressing whatsoever on human rights. President Obama refused to meet with the Dalai Lama last month, presumably so as not to ruffle feathers with the people who will now be financing his debts. In June, Liu Xiaobo, a leading signatory of the pro-democracy Charter 08 movement, was charged with “inciting subversion of state power.” But as a U.S. Embassy spokesman in Beijing admitted to the Journal, “neither the White House nor Secretary Clinton have made any public comments on Liu Xiaobo.”
Sudan: In 2008, candidate Obama issued a statement insisting that “there must be real pressure placed on the Sudanese government. We know from past experience that it will take a great deal to get them to do the right thing. . . . The U.N. Security Council should impose tough sanctions on the Khartoum government immediately.”
Exactly right. So what should Mr. Obama do as president? Yesterday, the State Department rolled out its new policy toward Sudan, based on “a menu of incentives and disincentives” for the genocidal Sudanese government of Omar Bashir. It’s the kind of menu Mr. Bashir will languidly pick his way through till he dies comfortably in his bed.
Iran: Mr. Obama’s week-long silence on Iran’s “internal affairs” following June’s fraudulent re-election was widely noted. Not so widely noted are the administration’s attempts to put maximum distance between itself and human-rights groups working the Iran beat.
Earlier this year, the State Department denied a grant request for New Haven, Conn.-based Iran Human Rights Documentation Center. The Center maintains perhaps the most extensive record anywhere of Iran’s 30-year history of brutality. The grant denial was part of a pattern: The administration also abruptly ended funding for Freedom House’s Gozaar project, an online Farsi- and English-language forum for discussing political issues.
It’s easy to see why Tehran would want these groups de-funded and shut down. But why should the administration, except as a form of pre-emptive appeasement?
In Massachusetts not long ago, I found myself driving behind a car with “Free Tibet,” “Save Darfur,” and “Obama 08″ bumper stickers. I wonder if it will ever dawn on the owner of that car that at least one of those stickers doesn’t belong.
There is more – please read it all!

He is anti human rights….with exception of MUSLIMS….do I have to hunt for evidence. I will
btw delectable great post
You can’t for only some human rights and not for others. It’s like only being a little pregnant. If his friends are autocrates, then Obama is a fraud.
It depends on the definition of “human”.
He is a left of left of center. He is a cynical Marxist.
Unfortunately, the premise here is wrong. Obama is very much a “human rights” president.
That is because “human rights” are antithetical to liberty. “Human rights” are a UN construct; they are a term which, though always vague, refers to “rights” that are supposedly to be “granted” or “protected” by governments which do not protect rights.
What we have in the United States is a belief in liberty, protected by civil rights that limit the power of the government, and which are enforced by equal protection under law. In other words, US citizens are considered free, and immune from government interference except where the government is permitted to intrude in their lives. These are the “negative rights” which Obama finds so inadequate.
“Human rights” are entirely opposed to this worldview. Their absence is usually decried in places where the citizens have no liberty, where any “rights” they hold are granted to them by the government (the opposite of the US model).
Take the Civil Rights Movement as an example. The black population of the United States was denied civil rights; the right to vote, the right to travel (if one cannot freely access public accommodations, the right to travel is restricted), etc. The absence of these civil rights was addressed by passage of the Voting Rights Act and various other actions taken to address other discrimination in the public sphere. But, these goals accomplished by the mid-Sixties, the Civil Rights Movement was hijacked by Marxists, separatists and Islamists, and transformed into a “human rights” movement seeking ever-larger redress for ever more nebulous grievances.
This “human rights” model was adopted by the gay-rights movement early on; while there were laws that impinged on the rights of homosexuals (e.g., against being served alcohol or dancing in a bar which catered to them), they could not claim a civil-rights basis for redress of most claims, because “sexual orientation,” unlike “race,” is not a “suspect classification” which demands higher scrutiny.
In any event, “human rights” are in all cases a kind of fraud: where civil rights exist, as in the US, they are grievance-mongering that is demanding special rights. Where liberty protected by civil rights does not exist, as in most of the world, “human rights” are merely lipstick on dictatorship; they are demands for a government which does not respect the rights of its citizens as a rule to show some “king’s mercy” and lighten the weight of its leaden hand.
Goldstone: Gaza report won’t hurt peace process
UN investigator who issued report saying Israel, Hamas committed war crimes tells American rabbis, ‘What peace process is Israel talking about? There isn’t one. Lieberman doesn’t want one
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3792949,00.html
So the “impartial” UN investigator does not think Israel wants peace? Hum, OK now I get it. Israel bad, Arabs good? OK I never was told that before. I wish I could get my hands on this self hating Jewish Prick.
I will add that it is certainly true that the American ideal of liberty protected by civil rights has often fallen short of its goal. But what I hope people will understand is that the basic ideal of liberty protected by civil rights limiting government, and “human rights” which are demanded as a government largesse, are fundamentally opposed to each other.
There has been much energy expended by the Left in the past thirty or forty years to make people think that civil rights and human rights are equivalent. They are not. Do not confuse the two.
re: #6 by buzzsawmonkey
Thanks,I was looking for something like this. potus most definitely does not support human liberty. We need only look 90 miles offshore to Cuba and the dictator for life he and his friends so admire.Whenever I hear the term Human Rights I think of the UN and HRW, both little more than Israel bashers.
re: #4 by snork
“Human” as opposed to a “collection of cells” that they use to describe the human fetus. I also am less than impressed with this supposed “new” theory of theirs, especially since it was proffered by Garret Hardin in the late 1960′s, calling it the “DNA Template Theory.” It was in many ways instrumental in making people more “comfortable” with the idea of abortion.
It’s racist to say the Chosen One is anti-human rights. He’s just anti-liberty, anti-Semitic and anti-anything that doesn’t agree with his worldview.
Ther is nothing new here. Carter wanted to be known as the, “Human Rights President.” As a commited leftist however, moral equivalency dictated how those human rights were to be dolled out. In a moral equivalent universe, the leftists will always side with the most heinous thugs and dictators available. Hence, Carter went to North Korea and proclaimed that the Kim Jong Il was a man who truly cared about the gentle people who inhabited the northern half of the Korean Peninsula. He made similar statements about every other thugish dictator in the world. Should we be surprised that Carter the second is any different. Human Rights is a relative thing. Israel is the greatest violator of these rights in their book, followed closely by the U.S.
re: #11 by mfhorn
It’s racist to say the Chosen One is anti-human rights. He’s just anti-liberty, anti-Semitic and anti-anything that doesn’t agree with his worldview.
The problem is that “human rights” has been so sloppily and erroneously conflated with “civil rights” for so long that people believe them to be synonymous. And we have become so used to genuflecting before the term “rights” that to say one is “opposed to human rights” is akin to saying that you support roasting and eating babies.
Nevertheless: I support liberty, which is protected by civil rights that limit the power of government. “Human rights” are demands of largesse from the government, which the government can grant or withhold at its whim. Consequently, I oppose “human rights” as being fundamentally contrary to the ideal of liberty protected by limitations on government power.
So far what has the One’s appeasement of China, Russia, and Iran gotten him? The Zero.
re: #7 by Nevergiveup
OT(ish)
I do not speak for Israel, but from my point of view, I keep asking the same question – Peace at what cost?
What is an actual peace really worth? Assuming it were really possible that all the Muslims in the world would get over their thousands of years of Jew hatred, and imperialistic ambitions, what would be worth sacrificing for this peace? Jerusalem? Long term Israeli security? The Jewish homeland? Autonomy? Holy sites?….
Screw human rights, we have a war to fight right here.

re: #15 by WrathofG-d
I agree with you, but to say that “Lieberman” who represents the State Of Israel does not want peace is a libelous accusation.
re: #16 by Beltfed
Is this a joke?
Just because they ‘say’ that FOX is not a legitimate news source, it should be believed!
They just made the point of my email to this very blog!!!
re: #16 by Beltfed
What? You don’t like you media hand-picked by the Government?
Do you think that violates the 1st Amendment to the Constitution regarding a “free press”
You are so last century and small minded!

As a malignant narcissist – Obama has an inordinately high opinion of his ability to “persuade” people to see his point of view. He is going to be humbled soon enough. The question is – is he capable of learning or does his refuse to draw the right answers because he is blinded by ideology?
re: #16 by Beltfed
Helen Thomas has already told obMao to back off Fox. Other’s are also starting to see the writing on the wall:
Tapper to Gibbs: Who are you to decide what constitutes a news organization?
Rush talking about a nyslimes environmental reporter on a panel, suggesting that the country should offer carbon credits to one baby families. You know, since humans are destroying the planet.
How do they square that with human rights?
re: #16 by Beltfed
What a freaking fascist that Obama is. Did Bush treat PMSNBC that way?
re: #19 by Nevergiveup
Well, the truth is that my comment was a true question, not a statement. I know where my “line in the sand is” but I do not speak for Israel.
You are correct however regarding the slander against Lieberman (I covered how this was going to be done before he came into office)
The standard line in Israel-Arab conflict thought (beginning before Oslo) has been that if you are not for the far-left idea of “land for peace”, “give the arabs everything”, “end the ‘occupation’ of all post 1967 land”, “make Judea/Samaria judenrein”, “ask nothing of the Arabs”, etc., you are Anti-Peace. Israel had bought into it, and ignored it for so long that it has become entrenched in the Western (liberal) psyche to the point where they don’t even realize how closed minded they are being. (let alone the fact that it was tried at Oslo, etc., and failed miserably, and it has been the only method attempted and we still don’t have anything close to peace)
This is what you see reflected in Lieberman. He dares point out that the hope & appease policies of Oslo have failed, and thus something new must be tried. Giving money, weapons, training, appeasement, schools, electricity, water, and LAND hasn’t done jack, so he feels Israel should try something different.
This doesn’t make him anti-Peace, it makes his anti-failure.

You cannot believe the Washington Times. I suggest you look into this further before freaking out.

Hate to see the words huffington post on here but we know how obama loves this group.
In a press release given to the Huffington Post and other press outlets this morning, White House Communications Director Anita Dunn stated that the Federal Communications Commission was asked to fine the FOX Corporation for violations of the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act of 2005. This came after repeated racist and derogatory attacks made on FOXNews over the last two years.
In accordance with the 2005 law, every time the network featured a “particularly offensive” or “flagrantly untruthful” segment, a fine is levied. White House officials estimate the 2008-2009 fine to be nearing $29 million.

re: #39 by vapig

re: #29 by Nevergiveup
Well that is another point hated by the Progressives.
They will swear up and down that an Israeli democracy is the most important thing to ensure (this is most often brought up in the context of granting Terrorists rights, and Arab minority the ability to destroy the Jewish character of Israel) until Israel votes in democratically what some would call a “far right” Government. (this term does NOT describe Bibi & Co now)
I also ask whether a Jewish State and Democracy are compatible without taking semi-undemocratic steps to ensure a Jewish majority.

Pastor’s Business Card
A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners. At one
house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came
to his repeated knocks at the door.
Therefore, he took out a business card and wrote ‘Revelation 3:20′ on
the back of it and stuck it in the door.
When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that
his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message,
‘Genesis 3:10.’
Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales
of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins ‘Behold, I stand at the door and
knock.’ Genesis 3:10 reads, ‘I heard your voice in the garden and I
was afraid for I was naked.’

Well, it’s October 20th and Obama’s Gallup Poll approval rating is back down to 50%.
His Rasmussen Poll rating is back down to 47%.
In another recent poll, only 43% of Americans would vote for Obama for President if he runs against an unknown and unnamed candidate.
Obama is hurting and he hasn’t figured out why yet.
His anti-American and anti-Israel stances (while trying to court nations that torture, rape and murder their own people) has a lot to do with it.

re: #113 by typicalwhitey
My girlfriend is a nurse at one of the area hospitals. She informed me the other day that, anybody who has the flu, with a fever beyond 100 degrees is considered to have H1N1 automatically. So there you have it, we have changed the definition of H1N1 in our country in order to inflate the numbers of reportable cases. A good public panic is a terrible thing to waste. This is what America has become. All of you, I am certain know people in the health care field, ask them if these same definitions exist outside of Ohio.
re: #141 by Grimcargo
I’m sorry to see her do it. I would have preferred her to go on Beck or Hannity’s show first. Unless that’s what she’s planning to do. I’d be amused to see if Letterman tries to book her for his show (a la McCain) because it’ll help his ratings. And Sarah goes on Conan O’Brien’s show instead during sweeps week.
re: #141 by Grimcargo
Neccessary PR work.
She wants to be taken seriously and she has to fix womens opinions about her first imo.
I love Sarah but her interviews last year were not the best. What better way to get her real self across than to appear on a highly rated show.
It also shows she is not afraid of those who are on the other side of the political spectrum…unlike our potus.
Food for thought.

He’s not going to learn a thing. He will just get more and more strident and demanding. He is too far gone into his narcissism.
I mean, has the media very referred to an American president as a ‘god’ before. The dumb jerk believes this kind of shit and he expects the results that being a messiah entails.
He will melt down publicly or do something really crazy before he can take an objective look at himself.
I heard Rush play a clip the other day where the grifter said:
‘I haven’t begun to fight.’ ‘I won’t back down.’ ‘I’m ready to get this done.’ ‘I’m going after this.’ ‘I’ll bring it.” Stuff like that to an audience. Non-stop ‘I’m’ ‘I’ll’ ‘I’, ‘I’ve’ Me Me Me Me Me Me .

re: #135 by typicalwhitey
I know you were quoting CJ. I just don’t get that RS McCain is a white supremacist, that the Washington Times is a white supremacist organization, or how CJ gets away with what appears to be libeling McCain as a white supremacist almost daily. I am not a fan of McCain’s site but I have looked at it and don’t see that aspect. I see Meghan McCain’s and Pam Anderson’s boobs however. Does that bother CJ?
Pamela Andreson would have been an attractive woman if she hadn’t had her boobs inflated to cartoonish levels.
I like a nice bust myself, but smaller, natural boobs, thinking Natalie Portman or Gwen Stefani, look, and no doubt feel, better than overinflated chest volleyballs.

You haven’t been paying attention, have you. The question over there isn’t who is a white supremacist, but who isn’t. If Michelle Malkin is presumed to be a white supremacist, the term has lost all meaning.

re: #146 by Flyovercountry
Please consider that this time of year the seasonal flu is not prevalent. Any cluster of viral symptoms including high fever, aches pains, coughs is probably H1. So, that said, keep your children home from school, stay home from work and call ahead at the MD’s office. They may NOT want to see you, just hear symptoms, give advice, call in scripts and follow the progression of symptoms.

Were you being serious or sarcastic? It could go either way. Since I have yet to have the flu in my life, I am not really aware of when seasonal flu time is. I can tell you however, I am specifically not really afraid of H1N1. Obama on the other hand, scares the hell out of me.

re: #178 by Flyovercountry
I have lived through I don’t know how many dire predictions of flu epidemics since the Ford Administration, when the first great Swine Flu Panic that I recall occurred.
Not a single one of them has ever materialized into something like the Great Flu Epidemic at the close of WWI—instead, the media have always gone scouring the hustings to find a death or two that they can trumpet as evidence that we’re all gonna die, and soon.
Yes, there are a lot of people who will get the flu this year. Some few of them will die, because there are always a few people who do succumb from the flu, though most do not.
The only reason that the current flu is being constantly harped on is to keep people who have not gotten a flu shot—can’t afford it! they’re out of stock! omigodomigodomigod! I’m doomed!—is to increase worry and make them hope that if only/when Obamacare is passed they will Never Have To Worry Again.

re: #178 by Flyovercountry
Serious. Your girlfriend is correct. BUT, you cannot report it as a documented case of H1 unless you swab for it and it tests positive. This has nothing to do with the politics of flu vaccination or health policy. Just facts about the flu. BTW “seasonal flu” starts showing up late fall.
From the 10/19/2009 ‘Patriot Post’
Government
“The most revelatory passage in the so-called ‘plain English’ version of the health care bill that the Senate Finance Committee approved on Tuesday (without ever drafting the actual legislative language) says that in the future Americans will be offered the convenience of getting their health insurance at the Department of Motor Vehicles. This is no joke. If this bill becomes law, it will be the duty of the U.S. secretary of health and human services or the state governments overseeing federally mandated health-insurance exchanges to ensure that you can get your health insurance at the DMV. You will also be able to get it at Social Security offices, hospitals, schools and ‘other offices’ the government will name later. Page 19 of the committee’s ‘plain English’ text says: ‘The Secretary and/or states would do the following: … Enable customers to enroll in health care plans in local hospitals, schools, Departments of Motor Vehicles, local Social Security offices, and other offices designated by the state.’ This is the bill’s most revelatory passage because it sublimely symbolizes the bill’s true aim: a government takeover of the health care system. You do not get food at the DMV. You do not even get auto insurance at the DMV. But under what The Associated Press inaptly calls the Finance Committee’s ‘middle-of-the-road health care plan,’ you will get health insurance at the DMV.” –columnist Terence Jeffrey

I too have the same memories of flu scares. But I never remember so many offers of free flu shots, drive through flu shots, mall and grocery store flu shots, all of a vaccine that seems to lack proper testing.
We have a nurse client here from one of the local hospitals who has stories of some pretty horrible reactions already, that include some really bizarre permanent nerve damage, and that’s just from people they know got the shot. I am really concerned about a self fulfilling prophecy here with the shots creating more harm than good. And the live vaccine that is being inhaled, that sounds like a really bad idea, but I am certainly not an expert.

Possibly less. All though, I do believe that he managed to not get in the way of that Samali Pirate thing. So, on that day alone, he managed to not get a failing grade for his Presidency. These last two months have been simply disastrous. It would be funny, except that what he does really matters.

3 shots for any reference to Zombie
4. Shot for every time Chaz announces new hate mail from a flounced/banned ex-lizard.

the problem with marxists and human rights is that they think the government is supposed to recite and defend your rights.
That isn’t the case… that is your job.
When the feds try to protect your rights from your neighbor, and your neighbor’s from you, you get oppression.
You and your neighbor work it out and if you can’t agree, you go to the courts to serve as arbatrator(sp?)….
when you go to congress or the adminustration you always end up with oppression.
