Aaaaah, there’s nothing like candor!

If he were wearing an orange jumpsuit, shackled, with a hood over his head, a bucket of water down his throat and electrodes attached to his testicles (provided he has any), I wonder if he’d think the same. But I rather suspect that we’ll never know the answer to that, will we?

Sure, it’s much better to wait for human rights issues to develop into full-flown wars, then haliburton can make a profit on it.

humans will have rights when the sons of god say they have rights and to have a panel about that is a waste of money,that decision won’t be forthcoming anytime soon.

Those human rights sure do get in the way of a good profit !

The only people defending the UN these days are people with direct financial interests and whose political and lobby careers require it ideologically so they can ignore the stark brutality of so-called western civilization.

Liberals feel less guilty if they can believe some illegitimate quasi-judicial body is sanctioning their war crimes.

I have to agree with the sucker. The UN is worthless. Look at Rwanda,look at Gaza. The UN is incapable of enforcing any of their resolutions, especially towards the Judeo Nazi province of Palestine

And who needs human rights? What we need is no one investigating human right atrocities. If no one investigating then there are no more human rights abuses.

What else can anyone expect from the party of torture?

Don’t you mean ” parties ” , have you somehow not noticed that Obama hasn’t changed a thing . While I ‘ll give you that the republicans make the most outrageous statements , the current administration is marching down the same path , only with a big toothy grin . It’s almost like the republicans have become the democrats stalking horse .

Yes indeed you can’t talk about politics any more

Politics is ruined because there is really only one party.

No matter what your argument is, you are wrong because there is really only one party.

Really there is only one thing to talk about and that is there is only one party. If you want to talk about anything else, well you should change.

You are right. We should give up on peace and just nuke the crap out of anyone who disagrees with us. Screw negotiating. Screw peace. Just make lots of war and enrich the military industrial complex. Why bother thinking? It’s so much easier to call people “worthless” and bomb them.

“their war crimes”

What about yours? Can’t let that pesky UN get in the way can we?

[...] Raw Story [...]

The Human Rights Council has had North Korea, Libya, Thailand, Uganda, and Qatar on the board. Libya, a country ruled by a cult of personality dictator, made it in uncontested.

Just becasue it has ‘human rights’ in the name doesn’t mean that it is worth the money.

Just look at this conveniently recent article on Raw about how the UN isn’t good at human rights: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/01/watchdog-slams-eus-human-rights-cowardice/

”Human Rights a waste of tax payer dollars” Rep.Ros-Lihtinen . Once again the stupidity of the Republican party rear it’s ugly head.

Republican congressmen are truly a waste of American taxpayer dollars.

No , two parties , one paymaster .

I was not taｌking about you (the mighty US of A). America`s contribution to human rights is worth shit anyway. Remember you are only one component of the UN body, as a matter of fact more than often the US actually blocks and opposes a lot of sanctions and UN implementations

LOL… I love this! Freakin’ Republican logic… “… unless the White House certifies that the UN “has adopted internationally recognized best practices in contracting and procurement.”

How about change that to “… unless the White House certifies that the US has adopted…”

Yes. Much like Republican governors of Texas. They breed a special type of conservative idiot for governor down there. Rick Perry holds up Texas as a ‘success’ in terms of austerity and budget cuts to balance their budget.

If you defy all logic, reason, and sanity, that is. The Republican ‘balanced budget’ for Texas includes a $27 billion dollar budget deficit.

And, while campaigning against Federal bailout (ie. taxpayer) dollars, Rick Perry accepted $6 billion to stay afloat last year. Otherwise, the Republican ‘miracle economy’ of Texas would be $33 billion dollars in the red.

So, yes. Republicans are S T U P I D!

We can safely call them that now. They need to be ridiculed. Mocked. Disgraced. Not served at lunch counters. Etc… They have no moral standing, whatsoever.

RIGHTS…..IF IT AIN’T THE FAR RIGHTS OF THE GOP DON’T WASTE THE $…….

GOP MOTTO…….”IF IT AIN’T TOXIC IT AIN’T FIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION!”

The United States doesn’t want an international coalition to have any power because a unified world is all that can stand against the Empire. We especially don’t want that unified group to demand decent treatment of their citizens because that cuts into the bottom line of the mega-multinationals.

Oh and add to my other comments about the fucking asshole repukes, they also hate anyone that wants peace.

The Declaration of Human Rights is pretty decent, and we signed it; it saddens me that the U.S. is among those who have most often interfered with what little enforcement it has had. If you’re going to do a U.N., make it be something other than window dressing, otherwise it’s going to be as wasteful as the GOP says.

The Repubs continue to focus on extraneous stuff, when the voters sent a clear message to do something about unemployment and the economy.

It’s like they WANT to get creamed in 2012.

Unfortunately it is.

Non-existent weapons of mass destruction, which led to a 1 trillion dollar illegal war.

That’s what’s wasteful.

GOPs are human waste, we should get rid of them first.

as long as you continue to focus on the fake duality of democrats/republicans you will continue to be played as pawns.

isn’t about time you all wake up to the reality that there is a power in the world that is working towards your destruction no matter what creed, religion or nationatility you claim to be?
That is your enemy, everything else is just its multitude of masks

there is a reason why UN has failed. and anyone who has followed its meetings can tell you why.

Giving UN the role of world police, and then giving a couple of its key members who are publicly responsible for most of crimes against humanity over the last 5 decades (USA, ISRAEL) the “right” to veto UN sanctions most likely has something to do with its impotence.

The GOP don’t believe in health care, so what makes me think they care about human rights. No right to health care no right on being treated like a human.

Sweat shops take American jobs. Child labor cripples countries’ ability to move forward in the 21st century. Half of the world’s population, the female half, are undereducated and propigating ignorance to the next generation of humans, which invites poverty and breeds terrorists. If we really wanted to serve our best interests in the world, we would go out there and build, not clench our miserly fists around our wealth while fomenting revolution by the poor, working and middle class people of the world. The pittance, in terms of overall budget and our deficit, that we contribute to the UN as a target is a joke. This is not about budget, none of the Republican’s nonsense is; it’s ideology that suborns humanity to the goals of the rich. That’s what the insistance on the extension of tax cuts for the wealthy is: step one in a plan to destroy the social safety net. It’s as short sighted as the French aristrocracy were before the guillotine made their arguments moot.
The real threat of violence from the right is not the spewing of hate talk, it’s their policies of greed. If We the People don’t vote for our own best interests and support a more progressive agenda, we wll only have ourselves to blame.

R U kidding?
When has the UN ever gotten in anyone’s way in any meaningful way that doesn’t extended the Anglo empire in 60 years?
You’re typical of a UN defender; you like the ‘concept’, but are always short on details of anything the UN has done that hasn’t either be an unmitigated disaster, scandal, bloodletting or simple minded business schemes to enrich western corps.
So knock off the partisanship and post up something other than some sick apologia for the UN’s direct involvement of nearly 4 million Iraqi children being starveed to death.
Stay away from real Leftists — you got nothing.

Ileana Ros-Lehtinen proudly traces her family lineage back to when Cuba was a slave state.

Human rights? We don’t need no stinking human rights.

And one agenda.

And one agenda.

Yep , the paymasters .

Actually the far right fascists who want to put the rich above all laws, humanity, accountability and want to usher in the “new” robber baron class” (that brought us the first economic depression) to set up a Plutocracy (look it up) are the ones who are ruining America….willful ignorance and blind denial of what America and the Constitution’s was intended for, or what what it means is pure blind hatred and denial of facts…a “master race” of the ruling rich white men is the objective..just as it was Hitlers objective….you are the evil in society…. more than likely you don’t have a pot to pi** in or a window to throw it out of…but you believe if only you can eliminate competition (but isn’t that what the right-wing preaches night and day…competition?) dispose of the liberals and the minorities, women’s rights…some how you won’t have to compete and will come out on top…the American Dream that was meant for only you , you believe that your brain dead ideology and not money or political power will save you…. you are a nothing, a nobody, just a pimple on the arse of the “teabagger movement” being used by the GOP/Corporations, but useful for the time being, to spread their Corporate (fascist) agenda and embrace their philosophy, just a useful brainwashed idiot, they will squash you, too, when they are done with you….just as surely as they want to squash the liberals and minorities you so despise….America (is for ALL the people) love it or LEAVE it…asshole

Don’t forget the missing $2.3 TRILLION Donald Rumsfeld announced on 9/10/01 (the day before the accounting department of the pentagon was hit by a missile). The reason they hate the idea of human rights is because literally 90% of all the casualties are civilians. In addition to how convenient it is to ignore the human rights violations of Israel

I suppose that tax breaks for the wealthy are a better way to spend the money, Congresswoman? Fail…

Are you not amazed at the multitude of people who comment here in the over 40 crowd that still believe in this system enough to continue to support it through voting?

They who have lived long enough to see a dozen or so presidents come and go, each breaking the promises he spoke to get our attention, each allowing the further dismantling of our country, each getting a pass because of what he inherited from the last guy.

It’s comical. It’s like we’re watching two different movies. I tell them to zoom out and see that any vote is a vote to continue the status quo and they tell me Ron Paul. Al I can do is shake my head.

I popped into this 3D space in 67, and by 1978 I knew this who social game we play was full of shit and that those that held power after the last ice age have been using it to hold down humanity ever since and that at some point they wouldn’t need all of us because technology could eliminate most of what most of us do leaving the elites to live forever in their garden of Eden. Guess what point in the story I think we’re up to…

The proof is in the pudding. People are raging against the machine on both sides of the Mediterranean Sea, I see it like a wave that will eventually hit our shores, but do my peers see any of it? Nope.

They have Super Bowl plans though… I guess that’s something, ha…

The real reason Ros-Lehtinen wants to slash US funding for the United Nations’ Human Rights Council (HRC) is because they are critical of Israel.
