"The new and supposedly improved version of the United Nations' focus on international human rights has hit the headlines again, in a startling manner. Reports bubbling up through the bureaucracy of the Human Rights Council, as it now is called, are addressing the supposed problem of so-called small arms _ the term that bureaucrats use for rifles and handguns. An astounding report by the world body's Special Rapporteur on the subject has gone far overboard. It suggests that it ought to be global policy that neither nations nor their citizens have the right of self-defence.

That is the LAST STRAW!!!!!
We need to DISBAND the UN NOW.

China. Human Rights Council. Hmm.
Today, they are observing the 30th anniversary of Chairman Mao's death. Reverently.

Saudi Arabia. Hmm. Don't wear that cross, you'll get arrested. Even our servicepeople who protected them from Saddam were prohibited, or at least strongly discouraged, from having chapel ON THEIR BASES.
Human Rights Council. Ha.

Whoa. How 'bout those gun-free school zones, huhn? |

TO REMEMBER |
| They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note: This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work. — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ] |
