The United States will come under the spotlight at the UN's top human rights assembly's for the first time over the coming week along with other countries that face scrutiny by the Human Rights Council.
The 12-day session of the 47 member council starting on Monday will include regular "universal periodic reviews" of 16 members of the United Nations, including the United States on November 5.
Several dozen non governmental organisation are expected to lobby the debate on the US human rights record, while Washington will also defend its record.
Some 300 US civil liberties and community groups in the US Human Rights Network on Monday called on the Obama administration to bring "substandard human rights practices" in the United States into line with international standards.

I should have added the barf alert - I know - but this is just a perfect example of our anti-American usurper in the White House sending the UN goons after our nation.

Call me looney, but I really don’t like our country being “under review” by this bunch of kooks.
Dump the UN now!...Send them to a country that really needs to be under review.
Sudan comes to mind...should be a really comfy environment for their meetings.

Don't worry, Iran will soo be announcing that they have an ICMB tipped with a 20 megaton H-Bomb. The UN will then be doing some serious tap dancing before the USA and singing “Old Dixie”

I have been wanting to flush those commie ratbastards down the Hudson since I can’t remember when. Sarah just might be the one to finally have the “you know what” to do it.

I think defunding the UN and evicting them from our building in our country would be a great way to save on the budget. After all, we DO need to cut expenses drastically.
We could also investigate and impeach obama and save that check from going to him for the rest of his life, along with the secret service details, and other perks. That would be a great - and well deserved - budget cut.
Nancy Pelosi has zillions of dollars, so a congressional investigation into the use and/or misuse of her Air Force personal jet should be in order, and have her refund all the expenses of the use of the jet for four years...a great boon to the budget, as well.
Barney Frank and Chris Dodd could be fined for their fraud with "mortgagegate".
And finally, a deep accounting for all the vacations and Spanish shopping trips of the obamas so they can reimburse the government for all of their fivilous spending over the past two years.
We keep this up, we could balance the budget.....whoo hoo.

Yep, obama and most of the anti-American left would sell us out to the un in a heartbeat.
This UN affiliation needs to be put to bed. And the Tea Party types are the only ones who have enough pride in America to do the deed.
I hope it’s somewhere high on the agenda.

We cant get Sarah Palin in office fast enough. Ya think she told the Alaskan CBS reporters what was what? Let her take it to the UN. You bet! We know what those "substandard human rights practices" in the United States that Obama told the UN about; asking for ID in Arizona from illegal criminal aliens who stole into our country under cover of darkness like common thieves.
