Human-Rights as a global cause has been abandoned by the left

Silence on Islam  & slavery.
Rudeness to the Dali Lama.
Silence on Egypt, Libya, & Syria.
Inexplicable paralysis on Iran & N. Korea.
Bumbling with Chinese dissidents.

“with the Obama presidency, human rights has completed its passage away from the political left, across the center and into its home mainly on the right—among neoconservatives and evangelical Christian activists.Conservatives didnt capture the issue. The left gave it away.”

Outrageous Profiling in Nashville

Your papers, please!

The City of Nashville is engaging in an egregious violation of the human rights of flood victims!

They are demanding that people bringing flood debris to the collection stations PROVE that they are residents of Nashville. You must show some form of identification proving that you live in Nashville.

Oh, the humanity! Those poor, oppressed people with flood debris crossing over the border from Sumner, Robertson, & Cheatham counties. They just want a better life for themselves.

Will the rest of the country rise up in outrage over this violation of basic human rights?

Will there be boycotts and denunciations? Will the President and the Secretary of Homeland Security criticize us? Will we apologize to the Chinese?

[crickets chirping]

yeah, that’s what I thought.
