Human Rights mean nothing in America

 

In an appalling 5-to-4 ruling on Thursday, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority tossed aside compelling due process claims, the demands of justice and a considered decision by a lower federal appeals court to deny the right of prisoners to obtain post-conviction DNA testing that might prove their innocence.

…..  We are also puzzled and disturbed by the Obama administration’s decision to side with Alaska in this case — continuing the Bush administration’s opposition to recognizing a right to access physical evidence for post-conviction DNA testing.      NYTimes.com

What is more, they mean nothing to the demented, evil, religious, right wing, ultra conservatives on the United States Supreme Court, the Bush Administration, Barack Obama and his administration.

When will our country finally put an end to it’s continuing war on human rights.  I have serious doubts that I will see that in my life time. 

I no longer believe that Barack Obama is a kind and caring human being.

 

Yesterday, a Democratic President of the United States of America, in the year 2009, and an African-American child of inter-racial parents no less, gave his lawyers the go ahead to compare our marriages to incest on the same day that 42 years ago the Supreme Court ruled in his parents’ favor in Loving v. Virginia.
A great nation deserves the truth: A word about Barack Obama and the lawyers in our midst

Yes, the President of the United States of America, a man I voted for, compared same sex marriage to incest and pederasty.  This kind of bigoted attitude is what I expect from people seeped in religion and the hatred that religion fosters.  It is not the attitude and rhetoric that I will tolerate from someone I helped vote into office.  In the next election there is an excellent chance that my vote will be cast elsewhere.  I do not expect to have to endure such a high level of bigotry, hatred and ignorance from a politician I supported.

I am not alone in my reaction to President Obama’s bigotry.  A Coalition of LGBT groups and ACLU issued a statement condemning the Obama administration for their defense of DOMA. http://www.aclu.org/lgbt/relationships/39848prs20090612.html

CATHOLIC SPOKESMAN SLANDERS SAN FRANCISCO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AS NAZIS

 

Lawyers for a Catholic advocacy group that sued San Francisco for condemning the Vatican’s policy on same-sex adoptions are comparing the city’s supervisors to Nazis laying the groundwork for the slaughter of Jews.    San Francisco Sentinel

 

The Catholic Church knows a lot about the Nazis since their church led by their Pope at the time, Pious XII, did nothing to prevent, halt or mitigate  the holocaust that cost the lives of six million Jewish people.   The Catholic Church did not mind a bit that men, women and children of all ages were brutalized and murdered by the Nazis.   The Catholic Church simply saw this as an opportunity to eradicate the Jewish people and an competing religion.  In fact there is strong evidence to demonstrate that the Catholic Church cooperated with the Nazis.   More so, the current Pope, Benedict XVI himself joined the Hitler Youth.   Yup, the Catholic Church knows a lot about the Nazis.

The Catholic Church, protectors and encouragers of pedophiles, now want to prevent loving and caring individuals from adopting and rearing children.  Why?  The gender of these adoptive parents is not the real issue.  The real reason is that too many of these adoptive parents are of an opposing religion or no religion at all.   Thus, having those children reared by loving and caring non-Catholics would result in fewer Catholics in the world.   Fewer Catholics will dramatically reduce the Catholic Church’s income.  And let no one forget how important income is to all religions because money is how religions count souls.

Wanted for Solicitation of Murder – Bill O’Reilly

Now that is a headline I would truly love to see.

WANTED FOR SOLICITATION OF MURDER

 

I will donate $50 to Planned Parenthood in the name of the individual that makes a citizens arrest of O’Reilly for solicitation of the murder of Dr. George Tiller.

I will double my contribution to Planned Parenthood when O’Reilly is convicted.

Suspect in custody in abortion doc slaying

 

Prominent late-term abortion provider George Tiller was shot and killed Sunday in a church where he was serving as an usher, his attorney said. The gunman fled but a city official said a suspect is in custody.

Anti-abortion groups denounced the shooting and stressed that they support only nonviolent protest.

"We are shocked at this morning’s disturbing news that Mr. Tiller was gunned down," Troy Newman, Operation Rescue’s president, said in a statement. "Operation Rescue has worked for years through peaceful, legal means, and through the proper channels to see him brought to justice. We denounce vigilantism and the cowardly act that took place this morning."      EarthLink – Top News

These are the typical “politically correct” comments that frequently come from the criminal abetting anti-abortion community.  I watch the news and I witness the protests by their groups and I see that the vast majority of these murdering criminal bastards come from within their organizations.  Public statements like those above are simply fluff for public consumption.  I believe that privately the anti-abortion leadership encourages directly or indirectly the kind of premeditated murder that the citizens of Wichita witnessed today.

Muslims want tangible change on Mideast from Obama

 

Respect for Islam, a prescription for Palestinian statehood and assurances of a speedy U.S. pullout from Iraq — that’s what Muslims from Morocco to Malaysia want to hear from President Barack Obama this week when he addresses them from this Arab capital.   Yahoo! News

I have little respect for any religion, especially one that whose leaders and followers both historically and currently call for the death of those that do not follow their superstitious beliefs.  Muslims have been so indoctrinated into killing other humans that they regularly kill each other just because the other is of a different sect or tribe.  And just about every other Muslim leader has their own sect or tribe.   Respect for Muslims, hardly!  These are people that show absolutely no respect for anyone else and the only reason our and other governments give them any deference is because of politics and certainly not because they are the kinds of people that have earned respect because of their humanity toward others.  They show no respect for others and in fact have repeatedly strived for the complete eradication of other peoples and religions.   Governments may fear them because of their numbers and cruelty, but they have never been entitled to respect.

The change that needs to happen in the Mideast and Fareast must come from Muslim’s themselves.  When Muslims change into respectful human beings, learn the art of compromise, acknowledge and support the humanity of all other humans then they will have earned the respect they now demand.

Admittedly, there are some small percent of the Muslim world, especially in the western world, that do not conform at all to the stereotype I have drawn in my first paragraph.  But, in my estimation if the Mideast and Fareast Muslims had their way, these Western Muslims would be eradicated well before anyone else.

Barack Obama – why did I bother?

I am beginning to wonder why I bothered to vote for Obama.  More and more, every few weeks I am becoming aware that he lied to progressives like myself just to get elected.  Okay, okay, I know, all politicians lie.  But he is doing as fine of a job of lying as did/does his predecessor George “The Torturer Bush”.  Consider these articles:

President-elect Barack Obama will not move for months, and perhaps not until 2010, to ask Congress to end the military’s decades-old ban on open homosexuals in the ranks.    Washington Times

After initially backing a court order that ruled pictures depicting alleged prisoner abuse by U.S. soldiers could be published U.S. President Barack Obama will now attempt to block the move, saying the release of photos would make the job of the military in Iraq and Afghanistan more difficult.    TransWorldNews 

Climate change timetable slips as Obama backtracks on 2008 deadline.     Guardian

Obama backtracks on late-term abortions.    Althouse

White House Won’t End Dismissals Of Gay Service Members.    CBS News

These are just a sample of the frustrations I have with this president and his handlers.  

Perhaps that he and his family are completely surrounded by, are constantly monitored by, and cannot escape the Secret Service has something to do with the changes he is making, not to our government, but to his own positions.

New food for the conspiracy theorists?

Obama reaffirms support for CIA

 

US President Barack Obama has told the CIA it remains key to protecting the country, days after releasing memos on its harsh interrogation techniques.   BBC NEWS

Left unsaid was the fact that the CIA can now be assured that the justice system will completely bypass them.  That message was delivered when President Obama announced this week that the CIA could get away with torture. 

President Obama obviously does not understand that slimy torturing sadists need to be punished regardless of their country of origin.  I can only hope that Spain or some other humanitarian country will prosecute these sadists because it is very clear that our government participated in the tortures at the highest level and is protecting those involved.

Yes, I am positive that George  “The Torturer” Bush ordered all of this.  I wonder how many orgasms he had when viewing the films he probably saw of the tortures. A bunch of sick fucking sadists are he, Cheney and the rest that were involved. 

It is not on the Supreme Court’s “Banned List”

 

The United States Supreme Court turned down a challenge to a jury’s use of the Christian Bible.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday turned away a challenge from a Texas death row inmate who claimed his constitutional rights were violated by jurors who consulted a Bible.  News & Observer

But I will bet you my entire wealth that there are plenty of other religion’s holy books that are on that list.  Oh, and there is not a printed list, because then those religious bigots on the Supreme Court would have to publish it.  But don’t you dare use the holy books of Islamism,  Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, or any of the many others while on a jury, because those are most likely on the Supreme Courts “Banned List”.  Atheists don’t need a holy book since we do not require dogma to guide us toward being a better person.

Freedom of religion. What a fucking lie!  People in this country can’t even get Freedom From Religion. as demonstrated by this case.

Barack Obama Defies International Law

An interview with the United Nations Rapporteur for Torture, concerning President Obama’s amnesty for CIA agents, appears in the print edition of a Vienna Austria publication, Der Standard.  Jack M. Balkin has translated the interview into English. 

Standard: In other words, by making this announcement, Obama has violated international law?

Nowak: Correct. It is a violation of binding international treaty law in this case, because this is an international law convention – and it provides unequivocally that states are not merely obligated to make torture a crime, but also to prosecute any incidents of which credible evidence can be found.   Balkinization

Why is it that America’s leaders, regardless of their party affiliation, demand that other nations adhere to International Law and yet continue to flaunt their own distain for it?   Do these political representatives of ours care at all about international law?  I think not.  But I do think that they as leaders of our country are protecting their predecessors from criminal prosecution simply so that they themselves will be protected by their successors.

Yes, I think that they all initiate and encourage criminal acts if they believe it will benefit them during their term in office.  I fully suspect that Obama has already ordered or encouraged something of a criminal nature.  Oh, everyone thinks Obama is so much better than George “The Torturer” Bush in that area, but to my thinking the differences probably are only a few degrees of magnitude and not that Bush did and Obama doesn’t.  Otherwise he would be at the forefront to expose and appropriately punish those that were involved.
