The absurdity of any leftist who embraces abuses and powers far in excess of anything the Crown ever dreamed of to imagine themselves among the party of the Patriots!

Folks with a tolerance for Arbitrary government, who could live with the large number (relatively speaking) of officials the Crown had dispatched were the Loyalists.

If the colonists had been as far to the left as the so-called “progressives” of our time King George may have he found reason to protest THEM as they demanded taxation and spending far in excess of this wildest dreams!

They are REALLY pulling out all of the stops on this one. I’m disgusted AND amused simultaneously.

WaPoo's publishing Dana Milbank's articles violates laws against the release of raw sewage.

“For liberals, international law takes priority over” the US Constitution. Fixed

It’s a little bigger than Dana Milbank - the thread doesn’t accurately depict what really happened..

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/04/26/un-warned-trump-that-obamacare-repeal-could-violate-international-law.html?cmpid=NL_fntop

::””The United Nations warned the Trump administration earlier this year that repealing ObamaCare without providing an adequate replacement would be a violation of multiple international laws, according to a new report.

Though the Trump administration is likely to ignore the U.N. warning, The Washington Post reported the Office of the U.N. High Commission on Human Rights in Geneva sent an “urgent appeal” on Feb 2.

The Post reported that the confidential, five-page memo cautioned that the repeal of the Affordable Care Act would put the U.S. “at odds with its international obligations.”

The warning was sent to the State Department and reportedly said the U.N. expressed “serious concern” about the prospective loss of health coverage for 30 million people, that in turn could violate “the right to social security of the people in the United States.””::

I want to know if those idiots in the UN grow their own stuff or do they import it for their pleasure? They need to knock it off or better still, we need them to pack and leave our country! I would guess that given orders to get out of this country, they would all claim asylum. Who would want to go back to the ****holes they come from?

Further reading does reveal the same information - sorry! BUT Milbank was simply reporting it as others have done.. He didn’t make it up or dream it up....

I guess being a sovereign nation with our Constitution “violates international law”. Screw international BS law.
