Arizona in the Crosshairs
An indignant President Obama complained last week, "I can't spend all of my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead." Fine. How about plastering a copy of his presidential oath of office there instead? The oath says to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" — not international law or global diktats.
Case in point: Last week, Obama's State Department handed in America's first-ever report to the United Nations Commissioner for Human Rights. There is a section on "values and immigration," which essentially singles out Arizona's immigration enforcement law as a human rights deficiency "that is being addressed in a court action."
In response, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer rightly blasted Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration for succumbing to "internationalism run amok."
No one should be surprised, of course, that the Department of Blame America First is prostrating itself before the likes of repressive U.N. Human Rights Council members Libya, Cuba, Saudi Arabia and China. No one should be surprised that Obama's globalist panderers couldn't simply keep their mouths shut and refrain from trashing Americans with whom they disagree. [In fact, that is precisely Obama's modus operendi.]
The inclusion of Arizona in a politically correct catalog of human rights and wrongs is more than "downright offensive," as Brewer put it. It's a national travesty. [It is turning on a member of your family: tasteless and distasteful and embarrassing for those who have to witness it.]
