U.N. attack on free speech

Friday, February 27, 2009 Comments

A new U.N. resolution is aimed at making it illegal to criticize "religions" (Islam in particular). Obviously this would be unconstitional in the United States, and I don't see any indication in the report that the U.S. is actually considering this (thank goodness) but I think it's good to be aware that this is out there.

Lou Dobbs is right on about the U.N. when he says, "The United Nations is getting a bit burdensome, it seems to me, to anyone who's interested in freedom, whether it be through the World Trade Organization, whether it be all sorts of institutions, organizations, ranging in issue from global warming to anti-blasphemy, this is becoming a totalitarian, authoritarian organization."
