It is long past time when Republicans and conservatives should have set up their own “Human Rights Watch”, but one that actually records and protests such villainy, instead of just slamming the US and sucking up to tyrants and the UN, pardon the redundancy.
By just telling the truth, it would not only have tremendous credibility, but dissidents around the world would be more than happy to volunteer information about their nation’s oppressors.
The graphic nature of such abuses as are perpetrated by fiends like the North Korean government and in Islamic nations would be horrifying to say the least.
However, at the same time, lots of tables would be turned, because as an organization, it would *not* be opposed to a death penalty for heinous and murderous crimes; *but* it would also see efforts to keep guns out of the hands of the honest citizenry as itself being a human rights abuse.
All sorts of other things that are embraced by the socialist left in the name of “human rights” can be accurately portrayed as “anti-human rights”, such as radical environmentalism like ‘Agenda 21’, efforts to control and censor the Internet, ridiculous copyright and patent laws, exploitative trade agreements, and internationalism itself.
Open borders advantage economic migration on one side, but disadvantage the citizenry of the host nation on the other, so the “human right” to be secure in one’s nation is at risk. Likewise the importation of hostile aliens to advantage the socialist left by diluting a nation’s culture and ethnic homogeneity are likewise a “human rights” abuse.
The list goes on and on. It could even be said that irresponsible economics by a government is a form of human rights abuse against future generations.
>>exploitative trade agreements, and internationalism itself.<<
When the Bush Administration was pushing free trade agreements most FReepers were solidly in line behind him. Now that the majority of manufacturing jobs have moved to a foreign country with the expected result, higher unemployment numbers are here to stay.
While George and Laura kept farting around with closing our borders, the illegal aliens swarmed our public assistance programs. The Democrats enjoyed our new internationalism so much they elected BHO as their Voice of America. His new socialist ideas are accepted amongst a large portion of the voters who have no problem turning away from God because it doesn’t interfere with their monthly checks.
What is it that people are expecting from Romney?
