UN

A young man named David caught people's attention this week, because he would not be silenced, despite the fact he was outnumbered by those who tried. 

Watching brave David made me very sad, but it also made me come to terms with what Progressives have wrought, and what they are attempting. (Have you been thinking along those lines? I certainly hope I'm not the only one.) 

It looks like Obama could be getting what he wanted - a new world order. From what we're watching taking place, it looks like Israel could be kicked to the curb, despite Obama's campaign speeches that promised otherwise. In less than 18 short months, his presidency has made major strides in solidifying his Progressive agenda. 

Good news!

Lawmakers from 27 African countries gathered in Dakar this week for a two-day conference to push for a UN ban on female genital mutilation as a breach of human rights. International activists joined UN envoys and the African Union in Senegal to "promote the adoption of a resolution that explicitly bans female genital mutilation as a practice that is contrary to human rights".  

Currently, more than 130 million women and girls worldwide have undergone female genital cutting, according to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Often carried out for deep-seated religious or cultural reasons, FGM can lead to infection, urinary tract problems, mental trauma, sterility or severe complications during pregnancy, childbirth and sexual dysfunction. It is mostly performed on girls younger than 15.

Bad News!

We need to stand firm against the multicultural appeasers in our government and our culture, who seek to make concessions that work against us. A case to make this point can be found in a story that ran in the New York Times early this month. It seems a few appeasers sit on the American Academy of Pediatrics, and these appeasers are working overtime to make us more tolerant of Female Genital Mutilation. They of course play semantic games to avoid the terminology and stick to calling it Female Genital Circumcision.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Yesterday, we learned that the United Nations elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, which is "dedicated exclusively to gender equality and advancement of women,” thereby handing a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a misogynist theocratic state, where lashings are required for women judged as "immodest" and where death by stoning is almost a national pastime. According to a story by Joseph Abrahms on Iran’s election to the commission:

“Buried 2,000 words deep in a U.N. press release distributed Wednesday on the filling of vacancies in subsidiary bodies, was the stark announcement: Iran, along with representatives from 10 other nations, was elected by acclamation, meaning that no open vote was requested or required by any member states.

 

The U.S. currently holds one of the 45 seats on the body, a position set to expire in 2012. The U.S. Mission to the U.N. did not return requests for comment on whether it actively opposed elevating Iran to the women's commission.”

The UN is now officially a joke. The countries that allowed Iran to participate in the Commission on the Status of Women have shown themselves sadly lacking in both integrity and moral fiber. By their actions/ inactions, they have proven that women's rights is on the back burner of the UN agenda.

On February 3 at the United Nations Headquarters, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon praised his Special Envoy to Haiti, former US President Bill Clinton, for demonstrating “extremely important leadership.” The UN Secretary-General then asked Clinton "to assume a leadership role in coordinating international aid efforts, from emergency response to new construction of Haiti."

The earthquake that struck the impoverished nation on January 12 left widespread devastation and death in its wake. The Haitian government recently reported that the death toll had topped 200,000. According to information released by the UN, MR Clinton will work with the Haitian government in recovery and reconstruction efforts. He will help coordinate the work of UN agencies and other international partners, including government & non-government donors and private investors.

I got the following email this evening and wanted to pass it on in it's entirety.

Dear Friend,

Imagine you’re a victim of domestic violence in Haiti…  Before the earthquake on 12 January, you and your children were safe in one of Haiti’s women’s shelters. You were working to rebuild your life. And now, the shelter and so much else has been ripped away.

UNIFEM is working to raise 2 million dollars to rebuild women’s shelters and expand emergency services for women and their families.

We're getting used to it. 

There is no decision yet, and I'll get into why I'm in a quandary but for some reason my DNA allows me to separate the actions from the issue.  I trust people who say what they mean and do what they say.  Even people I totally disagree with, at least If they are trust worthy then I know where I stand.

I hated his policies and we're now paying for Ronald Reagan's stripping of regulations and shrinking the workforce responsible for enforcing the regulations we still have.  Think lack of meat inspectors.

But I trusted Ronald Reagan.  We knew what we were getting.

I do not trust President Obama to say and do the same thing.  After all, what he says is "Just Words".  It's his actions that speak volumes.

Way back in the early days of this "historic" administration, February, the administration said they would boycott the upcoming Durban II meetings due to the outright Israel bashing and other issues in the primary document.

But now it is ages later and we hear rumblings that we may attend the conference afterall.

When I was young and visited New York for the first time, I begged my family to see the United Nations building and the UN Plaza.  I bought into the notion that together the people of the world could make the planet a better place. That was then, this is now. I’ve grown up, and the UN has become a platform for dissident voices that seek to destroy the liberties enjoyed by democratic societies. Lately, I'm agreeing with Lou Dobbs that we "bulldoze the large piece of real estate on the East side of Manhattan and build something useful".  

The BBC is reporting that we will be boycotting an upcoming confernece because it has free speech issues and singles out Israel by calling Zionism Racist.  I would like to offer my full support to the Obama administration for continuing strong opposition to the farce that is the conference document.

Canada and Israel are also boycotting.

I just learned of this from PUMA PAC

"We need to do more to enforce laws and counter impunity. We need to combat attitudes and behaviour that condone, tolerate, excuse or ignore violence committed against women. And we need to increase funding for services for victims and survivors. I am determined to strengthen these efforts, including through my global campaign “UNiTE to end violence against women”, which aims to raise public awareness, increase political will and resources and create a supportive environment to make good on existing policy commitments."
