by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Have you ever read or heard so much, pardon my french, pure unadulterated buulshit?" Excerpt, Breitbart - Navi Pillay told reporters following yet another "emergency" meeting of the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council that Israel was not doing enough to protect civilians. "There is a strong possibility,” said the known Israel critic, “that international law has been violated, in a manner that could amount to war crimes.” Among the UN’s long bill of particulars against the beleaguered Jewish state comes the almost unbelievable accusation that Israel’s refusal to share its Iron Dome ballistic missile defense shield with the "governing authority" of Gaza – i.e. Hamas, the terror group created to pursue the extermination of the Jewish state and now waging a terrorist war against it – constitutes a war crime against the civilians of Gaza. I am reminded why I sometimes find the United Nations ...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny The United Nations proves once again its "collective" lack of rational thought and its inability to use cognition to arrive at logical conclusions. For the most part it has become an organization driven by ideology and a growing hatred for the west and its concept of the rule of law. The UN Commission on the Status of Women is expected to condemn Israel for its part in the degrading conditions of Palestinian women. Yet the politically motivated Commission ignores the near complete lack of women's rights in many, if not most Muslim countries. Glaringly they ignore the brutal treatment of Syrian women in the continuing crises in that country. Haaretz - The United Nations' Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), scheduled to wrap up its annual session on Friday, is expected to pass a resolution condemning Israel's part in the degrading of living conditions for Palestinian women, while failing to m...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism Liberty -vs- Tyranny Once again the United Nations is proving itself irrelevant and useless. At the very least the body has proved yet once again, by naming North Korea chair of the U.N. Conference on Disarmament that  it is a total joke. The Weekly Standard On Tuesday, the United Nations again made itself an international laughing stock – except perhaps to the American taxpayers who continue to foot 22 percent of the bill – by appointing North Korea chair of the U.N. Conference on Disarmament. That would be the same North Korea that, according to an article this week by Senator John Kerry, head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has “twice tested nuclear weapons…is developing missiles to carry them…has built facilities capable of producing highly enriched uranium for more nuclear weapons” and has defied a U.N. arms embargo by exporting weapons and sensitive technologies to rogue regimes. ...

The Obama Administration, at the latest meeting of  The United Nations Human Rights Council, came out in support of placing limits in free speech! While this development is disturbing it comes a no real surprise. Rational Nation USA addressed the erosion of our 1'st amendment rights here at home in its September 1 post entitled, We Must Preserve Our Right to Free Speech . While many in congress on the left are hoping  to use The Fairness Doctrine here at home to curtail free speech, the Administration is widening the attack on freedom of speech and expression. Rather than just the nefarious attack on free speech at home the Obama administration, by supporting the UN call to limit free speech, is taking its attack global in the hopes of creating pressure to regulate and limit further our right to free speech in America. Some points to consider; paraphrased from Anne...
