But puke it has:
The State Department report, released Monday as part of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) at the UN Human Rights Council, reads less like an accounting of human rights issues and more like the platform of the Democratic Party–and invites the world to judge America harshly.The so-called “human rights” problems cited in the report include:
- Police brutality, including the Michael Brown case in Ferguson, Missouri
- Discrimination against Muslims who want to build or expand mosques
- Voter identification laws in Texas and elsewhere
- Predatory lending in home mortgages
- Suspension of black children in schools
- Women earning “78 cents on the dollar” (a false statistic)
In addition, the report boasts of progress in the following areas:
- Promoting same-sex marriage
- Fighting discrimination against transgender children in school
- Executive action on illegal immigration
- Helping illegal alien children who cross the border
- Protecting privacy rights against government surveillance
- Trying to close the Guantánamo Bay prison for terror detainees
- Revoking “torture” memos for interrogating terrorists
- Passing Obamacare
- Expanding food stamps
- Regulating “carbon pollution” to fight climate change
At a time when post-America's alliances are disintegrating, as evidenced by the failure of the much-vaunted Camp David summit of mideast leaders, the resultant collapse of a possible Iran nuke deal (that should have never been pursued), Japanese and South Korean anxiety over China and North Korea, and Europe's absence of confidence in post-America's willingness to stand up to Russia, our overlords engage in self-flagellation before the entire world, and laud themselves on the degree to which they've been able to impose totalitarianism, appeasement of enemies, and dehumanization on us, the cattle-masses.
Not surprising at all, but horrifying nonetheless.
