Enough is too much. Obama is now apologizing to the U.N. Human Rights Council for our human rights record.

.WASHINGTON – The Obama administration has told the United Nations that America's human rights record is less than perfect while stressing that the U.S. political system has built-in safeguards that promote improvements.
In its first-ever report to the U.N. Human Rights Council on conditions in the United States, the State Department said some minorities are still victims of discrimination. Despite progress in reforming past unfair policies and practices, the report said "work remains to meet our goal of ensuring equality before the law for all."
Council members are required to review their rights records.
The U.S. had shunned the council until last year over its criticism of Israel and a membership that includes repressive regimes.

Obama adoption of Zinn's 'theological' ideas is far more dangerous than anything else he believes.
It's going to take a generation reverse what this man is doing
This morning on Fox & Friends, a Texas politician pulled up the record from the 1800's when the 14th amendment (birth rights/anchor baby) issue was developed. It was clearly intended to address the birth of children to slaves in the US. Most importantly, they specifically stated that it was not to be applied to foreigners. Illegals were never intended to receive the benefit. With this in mind this politician has stated that he will refuse to issue birth certificates to illegal aliens giving birth in Texas.
