Commie buzz.
That thought is scary.
Rush has so much material just handed to him everyday. His biggest problem? Having a great software program to put it some kind of order before it is aired.
ouch
Follow up re:
IGLHRC gets consultive status at UN (in other words, ministers will go to jail, they did it in Canada already)
BTW, they’ve been discussing the right of freedom of expression for three days as well.
The groups congrats via their site:
Snip:
The government of the United States stood strongly behind IGLHRC’s application, calling for a vote in both the NGO Committee and ECOSOC. Ambassador Susan Rice, US Permanent Representative to the United Nations, publicly supported IGLHRC’s application. Additionally, 14 members of the US House of Representatives and 4 Senators sent letters of support to all UN Member States for IGLHRC’s application. Among them were Senator John Kerry, Chair of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and Congressman Howard Berman, Chair of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Homosexualist Group Side-Steps Normal UN Procedure to Gain NGO Status with U.S. Help
A taste:
By James Tillman
NEW YORK, July 20, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Yesterday the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC) was granted consultative non-governmental organization (NGO) status at the UN, after the U.S. helped the group side-step the UNs NGO Committee, whose approval is normally necessary to gain such status.
The White House issued a statement from President Obama stating that the IGLHRC’s admission was an “important step forward for human rights,” and that the “more full inclusion” of the ILGHRC moved the UN “closer to the ideals on which it was founded, and to values of inclusion and equality to which the United States is deeply committed.”
The US-based “gay rights” organization has sought consultative status since 2007. Normally, to gain such status NGOs pass through the UN’s NGO Committee.
In June, however, when an Egyptian delegate in the NGO Committee asked whether one of IGLHRC’s positions on gay rights could threaten the rights to freedom of religion and freedom of expression, the U.S. delegate forestalled examination of the group by calling for an immediate vote to accredit it.
Egypt shot back by saying that its question had not been answered and by asking for a procedural “no action” vote in response to the U.S. attempt. The Egyptian motion passed, with the support of Angola, Burundi, China, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia and Sudan.
The United States, however, decided to bypass the NGO Committee by bringing up a vote on the IGLHRC application at the July Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) meeting.
U.S. House Representatives Chris Smith and Trent Franks, on discovering the plan to bypass the NGO Committee, wrote a letter to U.N. members in which they said that “a forced, premature action in the ECOSOC to approve the IGLHRC would potentially undermine these important rights [freedom of religion and freedom of expression], as well as the long established due process for NGO review.”
They pointed out that the IGLHRC has said that states should ensure “that the exercise of freedom of opinion and expression does not violate the rights and freedoms of persons of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.”

I couldn’t follow her. She was confusing me. Of course, I’m also full of Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold and Flu Remedy, and Sudafed, so.....could be my problem more than hers. lol. I just wanted to know why call Rush about Chelsea’s wedding? I would have a bazillion other topics to talk to him about. Who cares about her wedding? Congrats to her and I wish her much happiness - The End.
I’m late. Darn work gets in the way.
