GREAT MOMENTS IN NATIONAL SUICIDE – AT 9:40 A.M. ET:  It's come to this:  The United States is reporting on its human rights shortcomings to the UN Human Rights Council, one of the most corrupt, degenerate bodies in the world.  From AP:

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration has told the United Nations that America's human rights record is less than perfect while stressing that the U.S. political system has built-in safeguards that promote improvements.

In its first-ever report to the U.N. Human Rights Council on conditions in the United States, the State Department said some minorities are still victims of discrimination. Despite progress in reforming past unfair policies and practices, the report said "work remains to meet our goal of ensuring equality before the law for all."

This is a farce.  Do you know who runs the Human Rights Council?  It's a garbage bin for some of the world's worst regimes, including Libya, Cuba and Iran.  And we're reporting to them? 

Council members are required to review their rights records.

The U.S. had shunned the council until last year over its criticism of Israel and a membership that includes repressive regimes.

Yeah, really.  Can you imagine President Bush reporting to this gang of thugs?

The Israelis use the term "salami tactics."  It refers to the gradual reduction of a country's strength and standing, one slice at a time.  It is happening to us, but I have a sense that the American people realize it, and will send the current Washington regime packing. 

Hmm.  Barack Obama for secretary-general of the UN.  He'd like that.  And he'd probably wind up as an America basher.
