Since 1998, China has been publishing an annual human rights report on the US, following the same criteria, format and standards the State Department uses for its country by country reports.
The 2008 report came out on Thursday, and it seems "an increasing number of restrictions have been imposed on civil rights" right here at home! These include government wiretapping, police repression and a record high ratio of prisoners to freeman. Also, it turns out we've got problems with racism, gender inequality, poverty, corporal punishment, capital punishment, child imprisonment, child labor, and the overall treatment of the incarcerated. And then there is Section VI, about all the supposed wars, coups, and general destabilization policies we've got going on all over the world.
Wow what crazy propaganda, right? So far there has been no attempt by the US to deny the contents, so it's probably 130% true! No mention of whether or not Obama considers himself black.

Wow. I feel like I just got back from a long trip down a very weird rabbit-hole. Maybe that shit makes more sense on acid.
BTW, Karl Marx did not predict OR favor Nazism as a "solution" to capitalism. Considering that the Nazis got their big break by beating up on Marxists for the capitalists, it sort of stands to reason. But shhhhh, don't tell the big-L libertarians...reason is not their strong suit. They think history is for "moonbats".

At this rate, the US has already outstripped China for human rights violations (well, I'm not surprised, but some might be). All that's missing is a skinny guy in front of the tanks. But then again, what with all those coups, interferences and destabilizations, who needs him?
BTW, I hear Hopey considers himself a "mutt". (His word, not mine. I consider him a hot-looking guy.)

The US has also decided racism no longer exists and will be boycotting the Durban II summit. Ok, its about defending Israel, but still.

Didn't the US get booted from the Human Rights Council several years ago?

Well, I just read that China thingy section 6.
Something i found refreshing was to read an article about the USA that didn't refer to the country as "America". We down here get pretty sick of you up there usurping a shared continental name and using it as your own special title.
My children were born in Peru. They are, by definition, American. Anyone want to debate me on that one? (if you feel like it, make sure you do your homework first sucker).
