Courtesy of that socialist rag the Guardian:

A UN general assembly committee has passed a draft resolution calling for an end to the death penalty in a debate that put the US in the same camp as Iran and Syria.

The resolution, passed 99-52 by the human rights committee yesterday, must still be submitted to the 192-member general assembly for a vote. If approved, it would be non-binding, but would carry moral weight.

Co-sponsored by EU states and 60 other countries, the resolution calls on those countries that have capital punishment to introduce a moratorium on executions and eventually abolish capital punishment.

I’m not sure how it would justify the executions and murderers of the previous members of the UN, but hey. They never apply things in a fair manner; they steal donations meant for hungry people, etc. This is a dishonest organization that, along with the media, wants to portray the Great Satan Amerikka in the same light as Iran, while missing the entire purpose of capital punishment in the US: keeping our streets safe (it’s a strong deterrent to criminals); totally eliminating the expense of keeping murderers alive in a ‘life’ sentence, and stops them from suing the government for cable TV. It’s a win-win for everyone.

Now Iran rules by Sharia law, and according to American standards, cutting off hands and feet is a repulsive practice.

But the UN would never face that one head-on.

The UN should be thrown out of the US and we should resign membership; it’s useless to play around with socialist and communist dicators, thinking playing ‘paddy cake’ with them is going to have a positive effect.
