The Wide Awakes » ACLU and U.N. Love To Hate U.S.

Two of the most dangerous organizations in the world join forces against the U.S…. Crossposted from Stop the ACLU ACLU Website:

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND — A United Nations human rights body expressed grave concerns today about the record of human rights in the United States. The American Civil Liberties Union with a delegation of 10 and working with a broad coalition of other groups is in Geneva to monitor the examination of the United States the U.N. Human Rights Committee (HRC). In a two-day session that concluded today, the committee members pressured the United States for answers on the following issues: The sentencing of children to life without parole and the disproportionate incarceration of minorities; The militarization of the border; The failure to prevent human rights violations and respond in a non discriminatory manner to Hurricane Katrina; The failure to end racial profiling practices, specifically the profiling of South Asian convenience store employees in Georgia; Warrantless spying on ordinary Americans; The abuse of women in prison; and The indefinite detention, rendition and torture of non-citizens. “The U.S. should be ashamed of itself,” said Ann Beeson, Director of the ACLU’s Human Rights Program. “The review by the Human Rights Committee was a stark and all too accurate condemnation of the state of rights in America.”

No, the ACLU should be ashamed of itself. The review by the Human Rights Committee which includes member states Cuba, Saudi Arabia and China ,and ensures that violaters are included, is a joke and nowhere near accurate.

Jim Hoft has covered this well.

Religious persecutors, Womens Rights violators, Communist Regimes, and illegal organ harvesters will make up the new UN Human Rights Council.

And this is the organization that the ACLU want to hold the U.S. accountable to? The ACLU, and the U.N. are the two most dangerous organizations in the world. They are both seeking to destroy America’s credibility and soverignty. The U.N. are a corrupt joke when it comes to human rights, and they have absolutely zero credibility to make any judgement on America in that area. The ACLU, who provided the list called “Dimming the Beacon of Freedom”, to this corrupt organization that can’t even clean up its own human rights violations are an embarrassement to this great nation. It is shameful that their list included our efforts to spy on the enemy, protect our borders, and several other accusations without evidence. I also wonder if their accusation to “abuse” of women in prison would be not providing them with abortions at the expense of taxpayers. Besides the issues within our own judicial system and its decay, the ACLU is also turning to international sources to undermine our nation’s sovereignty and national security.

For instance, the ACLU filed a formal complaint with the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention against the United States, stating that the United States violated international law when it detained 765 Arab Americans and Muslims for security reasons after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on our nation. Eventually, 478 were deported. ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero said, “With today’s action, we are sending a strong message of solidarity to advocates in other countries who have decried the impact of U.S. policies on the human rights of their citizens. We are filing this complaint before the United Nations to ensure that U.S. policies and practices reflect not just domestic constitutional standards, but accepted international human rights principles regarding liberty and its deprivations.” Source

Romero, of course, makes the United States sound like some rogue nation with no regard for human rights, not the beacon of liberty that so many have come to escaping from tyranny and the bonds of oppression. All of this should concern you. You may think that it doesn’t directly affect you in your everyday life, but it will eventually. The ACLU’s embrace of international law seeks to hypocritically do the opposite of what the ACLU claim to protect, and the Constitution forbids; prohibit the free exercise of religion.

In spring 2003, a group from the United Nations Human Rights Commission, of which former ACLU officials Paul Hoffman and John Shattuck are a part, met and discussed a resolution to add “sexual orientation” to the UNHRC’s discrimination list. Homosexual activists at the meeting called for a “showdown with religion,” clearly intending to use international law to silence religious speech that does not affirm homosexual behavior. Source

The ACLU’s actions are a direct threat to our very freedom of speech, religious exercise, security, and soverignity. In some countries, laws are being pushed, and in some cases, enacted that essentially criminalize forms of religious speech and activity that does not affirm homosexual behavior. If we are going to turn the interpretation of our laws to international jurisprudence, and decisions of foreign courts, judges, and legislatures, the question begs…why did we fight a war of independence? If the ACLU are successful in their agenda for international law, the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution will eventually become irrelevant documents. More and more of America’s freedoms, and our very soverignty will be sacrificed for international law. Our freedoms will vanish. The ACLU’s vision of freedom that includes the public sale of child pornography, the silencing of churchs and ministries, and unlimited abortion and euthanasia will replace them. To many Americans, these sound more like human rights violations than anything on the ACLU’s list. On October 27, 1787, Alexander Hamilton predicted that a “dangerous ambition” would one day tyrannize the gangling young American Republic, all the while lurking “behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of the people.” It could almost be said that Hamilton had a prophecy of the ACLU.

Strangely, the only serious organization defending human rights in America is the ACLU…taking boths sides of conservative and liberal issues at times. I’m not a member, but because y’all don’t think much of them, I just might join. Any group hated so much on this website and related websites has to be just excellent.

The ACLU is a joke, they only pick and chose battles that will get them the most attendtion. Many times they have fallen on both sides of an issue at different times. Disproportionate number of minorities incarcerated, that is a crock and giving children life without parole is acrock also. If we worried about that what message would we be sending to those minorities and children; if you are the lucky ones we won’t incarcerate you committing crimes.

The part about nondiscriminatory response to hurricane Katrina is another joke, I would love to see them prove that slanderous accusation, just because a large part of the population is minority in the Gulf Region doesn’t automatically give anyone permission to accuse anyone of discrimination. I find that to be appalling and insulting that they would even come up with the accusation with a straight face.

With the records of other nations on human rights and they actually have the gall to pass judgment on the U.S. that is quite humorous.

i dont want tot start anything either political ro religious but the bible emphatically states theat no man can serve two masters, hw is it then that the ACLU fights for the right of the nazi to kill the Jew and the next day fights for the right of the Jew to maintian his soverignty amoungst the Nazi, how can you say that you figth for the civil liberties of those that hate and kill as well as those that dont all ont he same coin? how is it that the un cant seem to get it right no matter how hard they try but they know exactly what it is that everyone else needs to do to get it right?? i will never bend the knee to the UN or the ACLU if it came donw to my life being on the line, i would rather be dead and gone than to see this type of persons running things and dictateing how things should be run, hey now wait just a dog gone minute did you just call the UN/ACLU dictators, oh my how un-PC of me, I sure hope i didnt hurt anyones FEELINGS, ro bruise their DELICATE SKIN, yeah right Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!my opine is if you dont like it here get out, i would be the first one to jump at the chance to stamp your visa and send you to someplace like South Africa or Boznia or Bangledesh to live out a sentence of learning how to be truly greatfull for what you ahve while you have it.

Duke the ACLU is serving one “master” or to put correctly they serve one purpose which is to defend civil liberties. Consequently they find themselves defending for a group on one hand yet defending against the same group on the other hand. For instance I am sure you are aware that they have taken on numerous cases where they feel religion is impeding on the civil rights of the non-religious. However, they have also fought for the civil liberties of religious groups.

Personally, I would never join the ACLU nor give them a dime. I applaud their fight to uphold civil liberties most of the time but I think they go too far sometimes. They see it as being pure to their purpose. I see it as a lack of commen sense. The Mt. Soledad cross is not worth all the money that has gone into litigating that case. NAMBLA does not deserve to have any civil liberties since what they promote is criminal.

Those individuals who support the ACLU do not see themselves as being unAmerican. On the contrary they see themselves as defenders of America from influences that would try to restrict our liberties that were fought and won with blood.

Okay, I apologize to those whom i have obvioulsy once again stepped on their toes, poor babies, hey you know whatthis is exactly what I meant by serving two masters, I dont mean to nit pik but you did read my comments, I mean aside from the mispellings, i think I pretty much hit thenail on the head, they defend one against the other then when the one they are defending wins they turn around and fight for the one whom they just helped defeat and her we go round the mulberry bush, they mulberry bush, the mulberry bush, you see what I mean, you cant have it both ways thats whats wrong wiht them, this whole ide3a of defending americas values and freedoms is just as front for them to get inot everything they can profit from, there no better then the criminal defense attny. that gets the child rapist or mob boss murderer off by any means possible, ileaegal ro legal, I want to know when this country became so thin skinned, since when do we have to walk around on egg shells for fear of offending someone wiht humor or cartoons or sketches of allah or god or our president or any damn body to begin with, civil liberties my butt, where were they yesterday when the political wigs in chrge eliminated the 4th ammendmant, the 7th ammendmant and most of the bill of rights wiht the stroke of a pen all to the tired out tune of a press confrenece on national TV tio show the people of Amerika how good a job they are doing against terrorist’s, hey hello have you seen any terrorist sincccce the big one, no not a one, and you arent going ot eihter , at least not unitll they need one to come popping out of the wood work for their political gain again,I dont knwo you but i will say you sound fairly intelligent, and i think we actually see things sort of on the same plane, but i cannot in good conscience believ ethat for all the research i hve done that they aclu is for me and not against me in the long run.
