Looking back in history for about 100 years, I can find nothing good done for the country by the Republicans. They have been an absolute negative the nation.

What an ugly world we live in!
Does Amnesty International report on these atrocious injustices? I hope they do.
I could make a political statement here about a particular international event during my childhood (concerning Iran), but I don't have the heart for it. The atrocities make the politics seem petty, indeed.
Again, it's absolutely heartrending!
@coldjoint,
If they have failed to expose human rights violations in countries such as Iran (which has one of the worst records in the world today), then they have
failed in their mission and should close shop! Human rights are too important an issue to be clouded by political considerations. I'm speechless for now. . . .
I don't like Bundy, either.

Even Bundy's cattle can't stand him...
coldjoint says of Amnesty International:
Quote: No cigar. They are clueless or scared to speak against Islam
You're the one who gets no cigar, joint. Amnesty has spoken against Islamic countries for years (wmcjr, joint is totally wrong--you really should nknow better than to take anything he says at face value).
Start reading with "Iran" in their 2013 report, and then go to the bottom and click on other countries, including Islamic ones and non-Islamic ones--AI doesn't give a **** what your religion is, if you violate human rights they're on your case.

Just because you have a particular fixation, joint, doesn't mean others have to have it too. For that matter, MOST Moslems are perfectly peaceful. It's largely Wahhab and Wahhab-influenced Muslims that are the fundamentalist ones committing terrorist attacks. You generalize about Muslims but you resist generalizing against Christians, or Jews or Hindus or Buddhists, all of whom have their more fanatical and violent sects (or political parties). You really have several huge blind spots in your field of vision.
As I said, Amnesty doesn't care what your religion is. If you violate someone's human rights, they'll go after you, and they've gone after plenty of Moslems, which you seem at pains to deny. Just because you want them to condemn all Moslems, which is a blatantly untrue position to take, doesn't mean they have to. For that matter, it's untrue when you take that position too.

Of course it does. Pay no attention to CJ he's a moron and a hypocrite.
I am more concerned about the 12 year old gays who have killed themselves because of hate caused by these so called "Christians". These people are not Christians they are hate mongers... They don't care about the elderly or the poor and they are racists, the whole lot of them. Vote out these Republican haters. 2014 election, be there VOTE!

@coldjoint,

That is an example of a "Law and Order" conservative. The courts have ruled the BLM can remove Bundy's cattle and sell them because Bundy is illegally grazing them and refusing to pay the fines imposed by the courts. When a court order is followed these "law and order" conservatives cheer for the criminal.
