That man in the photo, is the President of the U.N. Human Rights Council. Moamar Qaddafi, one of the most virulently thuggish dictators in the world today, is the U.N.’s chief guardian on Human Rights. That’s right, the only leader of a nation alive today to be declared legally insane, found himself to be the darling of the United Nations. Soak that in for a moment.
Now, this is not an essay designed to be about the revolution going on in his own country, but I will address at least a couple of points. One, I wish both sides could lose this thing. He was the worst kind of slime to be leading a nation. He ordered the Lockerbie Bombing, the 1972 Munich Kidnappers found a safe haven in his country, he funds and exports terrorism, he brutally oppresses his own population, and he was friends with Billy Carter. What is about to replace him will make him look saintly. It will be the Muslim Brotherhood. Remember that grandfatherly figure, Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, the spiritual leader of the Brotherhood who just returned from exile to Egypt? Well, as it turns out, this revolution in Libya was his doing. Suddenly that Democratic Uprising in Egypt appears to be not so Democratic anymore. The idiotic Google Executive who was at the forefront of the goings on in Egypt, he has already been chased out of that country, replaced by Brotherhood thugs.
This essay is more about what a useless organization the U.N. has become. How does a legally insane oppressive thug become head of the 47 nations charged with protecting human rights? How does that organization then bear its weight upon the world’s democracies? How is it that the most free nation on Earth would allow itself to be the subject of pointed inspections of this group of thugs and capitulate to its demands? The answers are in the convergence of liberalism which has swept the world for the last 30 years. The left invariably will end up supporting the very thuggish dictatorships they claim to hate. This is the only logical conclusion by which they can operate. Once there, we see some spectacular logical acrobatics as to why they are justified. The U.N. is the perfect example of leftist politics run amok. Learn from this example, as this is the direction of our nation and indeed the globe should we not fight back beginning now.
Evan Sayet says it so much better than I could. It’s an hour, but well worth it.
I would also like to note here, our current President wants to turn our foreign policy direction over to these same thugs running the U.N. That is what Obama meant by smart diplomacy and improving our standing in the world. He wants to increase our funding of this group of criminals and allow them the power to tax us as a member of a larger world government. How on Earth can the Democrats among you still support this imbecile who currently occupies the White House? November of 2012 is sure taking its sweet old time.

UPDATE: It would appear as though the UNHRC no longer feels that Qaddafi is the best face to put on their image. This changes nothing however, as the head scratcher is that he ever was considered the best face to be associated with their image.
