Well, now that the Obama administration's State Dept. under Hillary has taken up the cause of gay rights around the world, it apparently no longer has time to monitor something that previous State Departments have always monitored.
It appears that new human rights reports have been purged of the sections having to do with religious freedom. The period covered by the report includes the Arab Spring, which undoubtedly ensured there was much to report.
Maybe if you were a gay religious person, your freedom would be important to this administration.

You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:
1. Name-calling;
2. Questioning the motives or integrity of people you have never met just because you disagree with them;
3. Using obscenities or other expressions not appropriate or necessary to civilized discussion;
4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.
The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
What a lazy post!
ReplyDeleteHad you read the report and you would have found: Section 2) part c) "Freedom of Religion" is extant and survived the purging.

Good catch, no criticism of the President coming from the Right can be taken at face value.
ReplyDeleteOn another matter, admittedly OT, Michael Hill, President of the League of the South, made a mockery of Martin's claim that the League is not racist with a full throated call for the creation of an ethnically pure White South:

Somehow I doubt Martin will post a thread admitting his error.
I'm guessing that Martin doesn't see anything wrong with Hill's manifesto.
