Arizona vs. the U.N. Human Rights Police
By Michelle Malkin September 1, 2010 7:06 AM



An indignant President Obama complained last week, "I can't spend all of my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead." Fine. How about plastering a copy of his presidential oath of office there instead? The kowtowing commander-in-chief is in dire need of a daily reminder that his job is to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" -- not international law or global diktats.

Case in point: Last week, Obama's State Department handed in America's first-ever report to the United Nations Commissioner for Human Rights in conjunction with something called the "Universal Periodic Review." In short, the 29-page document is a self-aggrandizing report card touting the administration's far-left domestic and foreign policy initiatives for the world's approval. The report boasts of racial- and gender-bean-counting in the executive branch; Justice Department outreach to Muslim grievance groups opposed to post-9/11 security measures; teachers' union payoffs in the federal stimulus law; continuing commitment to closing the Gitmo detention facility for enemy combatants; and the illusory lifesaving effects of Obamacare on minorities through "expanding community health centers" (which have yet to be built, but not that it matters in our Nobel Peace Prize-winning president's age of post-achievement).

The report also includes a section on "values and immigration," which essentially singles out Arizona's immigration enforcement law as a human rights deficiency "that is being addressed in a court action."

In response, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer rightly blasted Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration for succumbing to "internationalism run amok." Brewer pointed out in a letter to Clinton, "Human rights as guaranteed by the United States and Arizona Constitutions are expressly protected in S.B. 1070 and defended vigorously by my Administration. In fact, the Department of Justice has correctly not included these so-called 'human rights' issues in the current litigation against the State of Arizona." Somehow, that inconvenient detail escaped the Foggy Bottom bureaucrats' notice.

No one should be surprised, of course, that the Department of Blame America First is prostrating itself before the likes of repressive U.N. Human Rights Council members Libya, Cuba, Saudi Arabia and China. No one should be surprised that Obama's globalist panderers couldn't simply keep their mouths shut and refrain from trashing Americans with whom they disagree. In May, you'll recall, Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Michael Posner preemptively trashed our country's human rights record to Chinese government officials and humiliated Arizonans -- and all Americans -- who support states' rights to protect their borders and enhance their security through strict immigration enforcement. An obsequious Posner called S.B. 1070 "a troubling trend in our society" in his bow-and-scrape conversations with the ChiComs.

The inclusion of Arizona in a politically correct catalogue of human rights and wrongs is more than "downright offensive," as Brewer put it. It's a national travesty. In the very same Obama administration document, the State Department praises the administration for its "robust protections for freedom of expression." The report notes sanctimoniously: "As a general matter, the government does not punish or penalize those who peacefully express their views in the public sphere, even when those views are critical of the government. Indeed, dissent is a valuable and valued part of our politics."

Yeah? Tell that to the Democratic members of Congress leading the punitive economic boycott and political demonization of Arizona. Or to Attorney General Eric Holder, who rushed to attack S.B. 1070 before he had even read it. Fresh off this U.N. mess, Holder's Social Justice Department has launched yet another vendetta against Arizona. On Monday, DOJ filed suit against Phoenix-area community colleges because they imposed strict citizenship screening of potential employees.

As Obama throws America under the bus for the cause of open borders, the shady U.N. human rights police must be laughing their jackboots off.

What in the heck, does immigration laws have to do with human rights?
It sounds like Obama just wants to open all the borders and let the world in ......come on in....welcome....the American Citizens will be glad to take care of you....not...

Oh, these midterm elections are going to be so sweet....

If he doesn't want to be bothered with the question maybe he should settle it once and for all. Just pull out a "REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE" not a phony
"Live Birth" document and settle the question once and for all. Until such time he will always be
questioned and people will not beleive he is qualified to sit in the office of president. While
he is at it show all records, passports, transcripts
from college and travel document from Kenya too.
Both parties blew this one and failed the American
people in the performance of their duties to validate the persons nominated for the Office of the Presidency.

A man such as the president cannot serve two masters. This man is BOTH president AND head of the U.N. Security council. I think it's obvious as to which master he is serving. This isn't an issue of human rights as much as it is a toddler throwing a temper tantrum.

What does he possibly expect to accomplish through this action? The U.N. has no jurisdiction in this country. Does he want the U.N. to send military forces in to occupy Arizona on a "peace keeping" mission? If you take a millisecond to ponder on the administrations actions one can't help but wonder.

The court case just tied things up in the judicial system for years to come. They know they don't have a case and are abusing judicial powers as a means to an end. I just wish I could be a fly on the wall at times to figure out just what that end might entail. Perhaps blanket amnesty and the dissolution of our borders? Given the information I have to work off of what else am I supposed to think?

November may not fix things. But perhaps it will put the brakes on whatever these people are trying to do and slow things down a bit. One can only hope in any case.

We as Americans sometimes appear to realize the power possess. Since everyone wants to boycott Arizona for doing what the Politicians won't. Why don't we boycott travel to Mexico?

We should pull out of the cesspoll UN.

Listen to what Wendy's students have to say:
"I have been studying with Wendy a little over 18 months, and as a rock singer, I never could have imagined just how much there is to learn about the voice and the disipline involved. I have achieved enormous increases in volume and stamina since working with Wendy. At a recent audition with a rock band, the band actually had to turn UP their amps after the first song even with me singing through a dinky PA system. "
-Kevin Durkin, lead singer, "The Breaking"

Check out Kevin's new video at www.thebreakingmusic.com!

"I believe there's a big difference between someone who just teaches you how to sing and someone who coaches your way through it all. I call Wendy Cooper my coach. Her profound knowledge of the way our body works, has brought my voice to a higher realm; breathing correctly, expanding my range, voice control, and so much more. Wendy's inspiring dedication makes me work harder and harder to reach my goals. I recommend Wendy Cooper to anyone who wants more than just a voice lesson, but a coach that will truly teach you the essence of your voice.""

For anyone considering hiring Wendy Cooper as a vocal coach, all I can say is this: She turned me into a lead singer in just 14 days. And if she can do that for me, she can do that for you.

I was a lead guitarist singing back up vocals in a rock band when the lead vocalist parted ways with the band. We had a high-profile gig on the books two weeks later. I hired Wendy and she put together a two-week plan to get me to a place where I could sing lead vocals for that gig. She worked with me and gave me the exact regime I needed to follow to achieve the goal. I did as Wendy instructed and the gig was great.

I continued an intensive schedule with Wendy to improve for the next high-profile gig. The club liked us so much they asked the promoter to book us for another gig before we even finished our set.

I?ve studied vocals with three other teachers and would say that Wendy is single-handedly a better vocal instructor than any other. She is serious about what she does, so if you aren?t going to follow her direction you aren?t going to improve to your greatest potential.
