The United Nations seems to view the United States and Christianity as the enemy and ignores everything else like the dark side of Sharia Law.

Scary.

...
Sorry but Sharia Law demands the death penalty for every sin committed by women and a couple that might be committed by men.

There's that word again.

How can they say it was botched? He's dead, isn't he? I personally think they should have buried him alive. That would have been a bit more fitting given the crime he committed.

According to Amnesty International UK, countries that still use death penalty include: Afghanistan, Chad, China, Japan, Jordan, United States of America, North Korea, Iran, and Iraq among others. Seems these people are more concerned about the murderer(s) than their victims.

I would love to see us get out of the UN and kick the remainder out of NYC.

However I suspect that the “real” endgame is: After Obama’s run in the White House, he will then be escalated to the top spot in the UN...there, he may have even more power than he does now.

The nightmare will continue.

The death penalty is implicitly Constitutional. We’ll let them live in your jails outside the US.

I personally do not want to house & feed & guard these creeps.

The firing squad is just fine with me.

So sorry, but patriotic Americans do not recognize UN “law” in sovereign USofA.
FOUN.

When I see a sentence begin with something absurd like "UN demands U.S...." I kind of stop reading right there.

I hope I live to those foreign grifters off our soil once and for all, with their little blue flags stuck up their collective arses.
